2.3 SOFTKEY FUNCTION

When a softkey is turned on, its color changes to black text on gray background and remains this way until it is turned off, at which time it reverts to white text on black background. The CDI, IDENT, ADF/DME, TMR/REF,

NRST, and ALERTS softkeys change momentarily to black text on gray background and automatically switch back to white text on black background.
