data entry. It is also used to confirm information during
power on.

the page groups. Press this knob momentarily to display
the on-screen cursor. The cursor allows the pilot to enter
data and/or make a selection from a list of options. When
entering data, the small right knob is used to select the
desired letter or number and the large right knob is used
to move to the next character space. The small right knob
is also used to move the target pointer up (turn clockwise)
or down (counterclockwise) when the map panning
function is active.
(13) Large Right knob – Used to select page groups:
NAV, WPT, AUX, or NRST. With the on-screen cursor
enabled, the large right knob allows the pilot to move
the cursor about the page. The large right knob is also
used to move the target pointer right (turn clockwise) or
left (counterclockwise) when the map panning function
is active.

(14) CDI Key – Used to toggle which navigation source
(GPS or VLOC) provides output to an external HSI or
CDI.
(15) OBS Key – Used to select manual or automatic
sequencing of waypoints. Pressing the OBS Key selects
OBS mode, which retains the current 'active to' waypoint
as the navigation reference even after passing the waypoint
(i.e., prevents sequencing to the next waypoint). Pressing
the OBS Key again returns the unit to normal operation,
with automatic sequencing of waypoints. When OBS
mode is selected, the pilot may set the desired course
to/from a waypoint using the Select OBS Course pop-up
window, or an external OBS selector on the HSI or CDI.
