Basic
Operation
The
Star
Pilot Keyboard
The Star
Pilot has been designed
to be as easy to
learn and operate as
possible.
The raised
push-button
keys
provide
a
tactile
f-eel
to each
operation
and the Star
Pilot
responds
with
an audible beep
each time
a key is
pressed.
All keys
necessary for operation of the unit
are on
thc
front
panel.
In addition to the alpha-numenc
keys
on
the ri-eht
side, the Star
Pilot uses a unique
approach called
"softkeys"
along
the bottom of the display.
These
five keys are labeled by the
LCD
display
and are controlled by
the unit's software, thus
the name
"softkeys".
The
"softkey"
approach allows
for
very
easy operation,
it almost
guides you
along. even
though the Star
Pilot
possesses
an amazing
number
of advanced
features.
It would take a considerable
number of
additional
buttons and
greatly
add to the operational complexity
if
each function
had
a dedicated
button
instead
of usins
the
"softkev"
approach.
Alpha-Numeric Keys
The
Star
Pilot
is
equipped
with
an alpha-numeric
keypad.
The
alpha-
numeric
keypad consists of
12
pushbuttons.
Each button
is labeled
with
a
number. letters or symbol.
All
alphabet and
number entries are

screen shows
you where

to be entered by
the
highlighted
cursor
position.

two times.

identical in whichever MODE is being used.
