RAYDATA Installation and Operation Handbook

3.2 Using the Keys

The RayData is controlled using the five keys: NAV (POWER), DEPTH
(LIGHTS), SPEED

. The keys can be used singly or in

combinations, so that operating your RayData is quick and simple.

There are two ways in which each key can be used:

• Press: Press the key momentarily and then release it.

• Press and hold: Press the key and hold it down for the length of time

stated (for example, three seconds), and then release.

As you press a key, a single beep confirms the key action. If the key
press is not valid for the current screen or mode, three beeps sound to
indicate that no response is available.

3.3 Turning the RayData On and Off

When you turn on the power to the RayData, the keys light up and the
LCD display shows the software version for three seconds. The screen
then automatically changes to show the data that was displayed when
the RayData was last used. If this is the first time the unit has been
turned on, the display shows the depth, as shown in the illustration
below.

and feet), but you can change these as described in Chapter 4.
