Training Mode Hard Keys
Use the keys in Table 1 in order to drive the machine around the screen. This takes some practice as the response of the machine icon is not instantaneous. Press the Arrow keys two or three times in order to see the response.
| Training Mode Hard Keys | |
| Key | Action |
| Up (arrow) | Use this key to speed up the machine if the machine is moving forward. Use this key to slow down the machine if the machine is moving backward. |
| Down (arrow) | Use this key to slow down the machine if the machine is moving forward. Use this key to speed up the machine if the machine is moving backward. |
| Right (arrow) | Use this key to turn the machine clockwise by a few degrees. |
| Left (arrow) | Use this key to turn the machine counterclockwise by a few degrees. |
| Escape | This key alternates the arrow keys between moving the machine and panning around the screen. Panning is faster than moving the machine. Use "panning" in order to look at features on the screen. the background map is an example of a feature. When you are panning, make sure that you turn off Autopan. |
