1.8 Common Operations
Moving the Cursor
The cursor is the pointer you see on your display. Its main functions are
• Find a position on the display
• Select an item; for example, waypoint on the chart plotter
To move the cursor, press on any of the four arrows on the Cursorpad to move the
cursor in the direction indicated on the arrow pressed. You may also move the cursor
diagonally by pressing and holding down on any two locations together on the pad.
The current cursor position is shown in the cursor position box at the bottom of the
screen, if it is displayed.

Status Bar
The status bar is the yellow horizontal bar at the top of the display. It provides operat-
ing information with text messages and sensor status with icons. Text (operational
help, alarm alert, etc.) runs across the text message area from right to left, tickertape
style. When an alarm is violated, the bar turns red and the name of the offending alarm
appears in the text message area.
The mode icons at the far right hand side show active and inactive sensors. An icon
is animated if the corresponding sensor is active. An inactive sensor (or no data) has
a red "X" through it.
