The MENU key is used to access the menu system.

to access frequently-used settings without having to navigate through the whole menu system.
When the X-Press™ Menu is displayed, you can use the UP or DOWN Cursor keys to move to a
particular menu choice. As soon as you alter a parameter (using the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys) the

setting change, allowing you to see the effects of your action immediately. Reactivate the
X-Press™ Menu by using the UP or DOWN Cursor keys.
Main Menu - Press the MENU key twice for the tabbed Main Menu System. The Main Menu
System is organized under tabbed headings to help you find a specific menu item quickly: Alarms,
Sonar, Navigation, Setup, Views, and Accessories tabs are part of your tabbed Main Menu System.
Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control key to select a tab; then use the DOWN or UP key to
select the menu item, and the LEFT or RIGHT key to alter a menu setting.

The 4-WAY Cursor Control Key has multiple functions, depending on the
situation:
Freeze Frame - Pressing any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key will freeze the display in the
Sonar View and a cursor and cursor dialog box will be displayed. The cursor can be positioned on
the Sonar View using the 4-WAY Cursor Control key.
Active Cursor - In the Bird's Eye View, the 4-WAY Cursor Control key controls the motion of the
eyepoint. In the Chart and Combo Views, the 4-WAY Cursor Control key pans the charts.

then use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys to change a menu setting.
NOTE: Menu choices are implemented and saved immediately - no further action is required.

at the current boat location, or, if the Cursor is active, at the current Cursor
location.
