Chapter 4: System Setup 4-7
Help
When Help is set to ON, a prompt appears when selecting a soft
key or menu choice and when using the context-sensitive cursor.
The help message is cleared when an action is selected.
Soft Keys
When the Soft Keys option is set to ON, the default soft keys are
displayed if no other operation is in progress.
When the Soft Keys option is set to OFF, the default soft keys are
only displayed when a soft key is pressed. They also disappear if
no operation is performed for 10 seconds.
Key Beep
This option controls whether or not the keys sound a tone when
you press them.
MOB Data
This option controls whether MOB data is based on position data,
or on dead reckoning (DR). Dead reckoning normally provides a
better indication of the course to an object in the water, on the
assumption that your vessel and the object are both subject to the
same tide and wind effects.
Autopilot Pop Up
This option controls whether or not the autopilot pop up is dis-
played. When set to ON, when the status and locked heading of the
autopilot changes, they are displayed in a pop up box. The box is
removed from the display after two seconds.
When Autopilot Pop set to OFF, the pop up box is disabled.
Menu Timeout Period
With no timeout set, menus and soft key labels remain displayed
until you clear them by pressing ENTER, CLEAR or the appropri-
ate dedicated key.
If you set a value here, the menus and soft key labels are cleared if
a key has not been pressed for the specified number of seconds.
