This option allows you to change the display between day and night modes.
If you select NIGHT mode, a different color palette, more suited to night time 
viewing is used.

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.

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, and they disappear if no operation is 
performed for 10 seconds.

This option controls whether or not the keys make a noise when you press them.

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.

With no timeout set, menus and soft key labels remain displayed until you 
clear them by pressing ENTER, CLEAR or the appropriate dedicated key.

If you set a value here, the menus and soft key labels will be cleared if a key has 
not been pressed for the specified number of seconds.

This setting does not affect the default soft key labels, which are controlled by 
the Soft Keys option (see above).

You can set the units for speed, depth and temperature. The units you set will 
be used to display all data, including information received from other 
instruments on the system. However, the distance units do not affect the 
instrumented range of the radar, which is always in nautical miles.
