The left knob is used to select the pages group that can be displayed in the left side or the full screen (NAV group, OTHER group and Fligh Plan page); it manages the cursor for these pages and the Direct To pages as well. The right knob is used to select NAV pages in the right screen segment (you can select different NAV pages with both knobs to see more info at once), or Airport, Intersections, NDBs, VOR and Nearest pages group in the full screen.
