Chapter 2 - Introducing the 961
The alphanumeric KEYPAD is described below, since you may
need to understand the data entry process before you start
entering position coordinates, waypoint names, and so on. For
a detailed description of the remaining controls, see "Using the
Controls" starting on page 3-1.
Entering data
The 12-button alphanumeric KEYPAD is used for entering
numbers, letters, or special characters into a variety of fields,
such as waypoint coordinates, waypoint names, and so on.
A typical entry screen will display several items of data. First,
choose the item you want to change by pressing the CURSOR
PAD to move the flashing cursor to that item. The cursor
appears as a flashing red box that represents the place where
Keypad
the next typed character is to appear. The flashing cursor indi-
cates which character position will be written into. Use the
LEFT ARROW and RIGHT ARROW keys on the KEYPAD to
move the flashing cursor to the next character you want to
enter.
Press the up and down arrows of the CURSOR PAD to move to
the next line you want to enter.
Cursor pad
When the item(s) is correct, press the DONE or ACCEPT key.
The 961 will accept the full screen of data and store it in its
memory.
In some fields, such as waypoint distance, bearing, and lat/lon,
you can enter only numbers. In other fields, such as waypoint
names, you can enter letters, numbers, and punctuation char-
acters.
To enter numbers (such as waypoint coordinates), use the
Entering numbers
KEYPAD to enter zero through nine in the data entry field.
Each new keypress automatically moves the field's blinking
cursor to the next position. In certain fields where the num-
bers must go into specific positions, such as latitude and longi-
tude, the blinking cursor starts on the left side of the field, and
you enter numbers from left to right. These numbers will auto-
matically go into their correct places.
