    Three buttons, what they for?

    Can't find it in the manual or with Google. What are the three buttons right above the power button for? Helix 7 Mega Chirp G4

    Those are Favorite View buttons (aka shortcut).

    You select a view in the views list so it is displayed, push and hold one of the buttons until the unit "beeps" and that will be displayed anytime you push that button.

    Helix 8-12 have those 3 buttons and a Helix 15 has 6 of them.
    The G4N Helix 7 SI and DI models are the first Helix 7's to have those.

    Not trying to be a butt... Just letting you know for future reference...
    Page 24 of the helix manual. View Shortcut keys.

    No problem, thanks for the feedback. I found it in my paper manual on page 8. Sure would be better if they had a shot of the unit and the buttons, but I guess the manual is generic for different units and buttons being in different places.

    Yeah, with the Helix, the model differences vary widely. The smaller Helix units don't even have the Favorite buttons.
