Basic Sonar Quick Reference

1.Mount the transducer and unit. Connect the unit to electric power and the transducer.

2.Launch your boat.

3.To turn on the unit, press and release MENU key.

4.Head for your fishing grounds. Your unit automatically displays digi- tal depth and surface water temperature in the corner of the screen.

The auto settings will track the bottom, displaying it in the lower por- tion of the screen. The full sonar chart will scroll from right to left, showing you what's under the boat as you cruise across the water.

5. As you're watching the sonar returns, you can change the display by:

Zoom in to enlarge the chart for more detail, or…

Zoom out to return to full chart mode.

Press MENUENT to select which Zoom Mode you want to use.

6.If necessary, adjust sensitivity to improve chart readability. Press

MENUENT and the Sensitivity Menu will appear on the left of your screen. Use ↑ and ↓ to change the setting.

Boosting sensitivity will show more information on your screen, which may cause clutter. Reducing sensitivity will filter out some information, but could omit important images. We recommend adjusting sensitivity until the background is lightly "peppered" — that is, scattered dots ap- pear, but individual objects (like fish arches or bottom structure) can be easily picked out of the background.

7.Watch the display for the appearance of fish arches. When you see arches, you've found fish! Stop the boat and get your lure or bait into the water at the depth indicated on the sonar chart.
