Upon using the 941X, you'll see that you can actually learn to operate the
system's various features without constant referral to this manual. After
you've read through it once, you won't have to refer to it very often again.
Since the 941X anticipates your most frequent requests for navigation

pushes. By minimizing the attention needed to navigate, you can now
