Naming a waypoint or placing any sort of data that has not been predefined requires the use of both the ARROW KEYPAD and the ENTER/MARK key. To enter a name or number in a data field: 1. Once you have accessed a page with programmable data fields (e.g. ' Waypoint Edit') you can use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor (Highlight) to fields on the page. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to move up or down and the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to move sideways. 2. Pressing the ENTER key with the field highlighted begins the process for entering data in the form of alphanumeric characters. 3. Use the ARROW KEYPAD UP/DOWN arrows to cycle through numbers 0 to 9, plus/minus symbols, blank space, and the alphabet. Pressing and releasing the keypad moves you character by character through the list. Pressing and holding the keypad moves you rapidly through the list. 4. Use the ARROW KEYPAD LEFT/RIGHT arrows to move to the next character on the line or backwards to edit characters. If there are more than two lines of data, keep pressing to the RIGHT to drop down to the next line. 5. When data entry is completed press ENTER to accept data, then move to the next programmable field. Not all data fields are programmable, such as the date and time. When moving about a page with these fields, the cursor skips over them. Every field and button on this page can be programmed or activated. A waypoint symbol can be selected from a list of symbols. A comment can be added. The coordinates can be changed. The waypoint can be renamed. A depth can be entered. A water temperature can be entered. Option buttons can be activated.
