The keyboard is used for selecting navigation destinations, searching media files, saving contact information or entering other data into the radio when needed. The keyboard is operated by touchscreen or by using the Cursor/Select hand control switch to select letters.
The radio supports a full size keyboard or a large keyboard.
The large keyboard may be more suitable for use when wearing riding gloves. When using the keyboard, some letters may be blanked out. This is a feature of the smart speller, which only enables valid strings of letters according to the entries in the database.
Input is displayed in the title bar. Select the icons for numbers, symbols or extended characters to display keypads with additional characters as needed. When finished with a keyboard entry, select OK.
