3.1.2 Keypad Usage 
The keypad provides a flexible method of controlling the functionality of the RC3000.  While each 
RC3000 mode has different requirements for user input, the use of the keypad remains consistent 
throughout all modes. 
 
The keypad provides for both specific actions and general data input.  As an example, the UP_2_N key 
initiates an antenna up movement while in MANUAL mode but also allows for the entry of the number 2 
when numeric entry is required or the indication of North when entering a latitude value.  The required 
key usage is provided in the detailed description of each mode. 
NOTE: keypads on earlier RC3000s may not have included the exact nomenclature depicted above.  
Keypad usage has remained the same though for all RC3000s.  
The following table describes both the specific action and general data entry function of each key.
