HSB Series LCD Display
1.4 Operating Controls
You operate the radar and chart systems using a variety of on-screen controls as
well as the keys on the display units. These controls include:
• A trackpad providing up, down, left, right and diagonal control of an on
screen cursor.
• Eleven dedicated (labelled) control keys.
• Four soft keys with labels displayed on the screen.
• Pop-up menus, displayed on-screen, from which you select options.
• Database lists, displayed on-screen, which enable you to edit items.
Note: The cursor is the cross-hair symbol (+) visible on the display. You move
the cursor using the trackpad and use it to select a position or item on the chart.
The control keys are shown on the illustration below. They are back-lit for
night-time use. When you use a control, a help message is displayed at the top of
the screen (unless you switch help off as described in Chapter 7). The following
paragraphs describe the controls and on-screen facilities.
