Entering Data
2. Using the ARROW KEYPAD , highlight the ‘Information’ symbol and then press the ENTER/MARK key.
We will enter a new waypoint name using the DATA ENTRY keys. Each DATA ENTRY key has mul-
tiple characters assigned to it. Pressing the key one time will select the first character, twice will select the
second character, three times the third character, and four times will select the number assigned to the key.
The only DATA ENTRY key that does not have four characters is the “+, -, 0” key.
When entering data using the DATA ENTRY keys, press the key repeatedly until the correct character
is selected, then pause briefly or press the next letter/number from a different key. The unit will automati-
cally move the cursor to the next placeholder.
Changing the name:
1. Using the ARROW KEYPAD , highlight the Name field and then press the ENTER/MARK key. This will
activate the field with the highlight on the first placeholder.
2. Press the ARROW KEYPAD to the left to clear the field.
3. We will name this waypoint “PRACTICE 1”, press the DATA ENTRY key labeled “P, Q, R, 6” one time to
set the letter “P”. (If you are entering a letter/number from the same key, pause briefly and the unit will
move to the next placeholder automatically. Otherwise, press the next letter/number from a different key.)
4. Press the same key three times to set the letter “R”. Continue entering the name until “PRACTICE” is
spelled.
5. To move the cursor to the right one space, press the ARROW KEYPAD to the right one time.
6. Finish the waypoint name by selecting the number “1”.
7. Press the
ENTER/MARK key to accept the new name.
Directly below the Name field is a Comment Field. You can enter a comment of up to twenty digits
about the waypoint in this field. For some more practice, enter “First Waypoint” in the comment field.
Entering a Comment:
1. Highlight the ‘Comment’ field and press the ENTER/MARK key.
2. Using the ARROW KEYPAD and DATA ENTRY keys, enter “FIRST WAYPOINT”.
3. Press the ENTER/MARK key to accept the comment.
