2 The Basics
This chapter provides general information about the functions of the keys and
entering data (connecting the EKP-IV to power and using the antenna are de-
scribed in Chapter 15).
2.1 THE KEYBOARD
The EKP-IV has 10 keys, which access and control features. Some keys per-
form different tasks based on the operation mode. A quick key guide is dis-
played at the bottom of many menus for easy reference.
Below we indicate the keys in capital letters enclosed between single inverted
commas, for example ‘MENU’. When a key, for example ‘MENU’, must be
pressed and held down for more than 1 second it is shown as ‘MENU’ 1 sec.
The Power key
‘POWER’: press and hold to turn the EKP-IV On.
‘POWER’ 3 sec.: once the EKP-IV has been turned On turns the EKP-IV Off.
‘POWER’: (immediately release!) once the EKP-IV has been turned On
displays the Brightness and the Contrast Menu.
The Page key
Displays a list of the 20 nearest objects relative to fix position or cursor posi-
tion if no fix is available.
The GoTo key
Activates a Flight Plan to the cursor position (in Moving Map) or to selected
object (in other modes).
The Zoom-Out key
Shows less detail of a larger area by changing the chart scale and zooming out
on the map display.
The cursor key
Moves the cursor on the moving map Moving Map, quickly and accurately.
Also scrolls to the desired options in menu page(s).
The Zoom-In key
Shows more detail of a smaller area by changing the chart scale and zooming in
on the map display.
