Using the Wide View

The Wide View is simple to use. Simply press the POWER button, and the unit will automatically locate the bottom, adjust the depth range and sensitivity to an appropriate level, and draw a picture of the terrain beneath your boat. If POWER is the only button you press, you will benefit from the advanced automatic bottom tracking capability of the unit. However, if you choose to experiment with the many features and controls the Wide View offers, you can customize the presentation of information to suit your particular needs. The Wide View offers a wide variety of settings and types of display, to satisfy any sonar need.

SIMULATOR OPERATION

The Wide View contains a simulator which allows you to use the unit as if you were on the water. This simulator is invaluable for learning how to operate the many features of the Wide View unit.

With the unit turned off, press and hold POWER until you hear a continuous chirp. This initiates the simulator operation and "simulator" will be displayed at the top of the screen. Your Wide View will simulate all functions as if it were actually on the water.

To exit the simulator, press POWER to turn the unit off. Pressing POWER again will power-up the unit for normal operation.

When in simulator operation, the Wide View unit will respond to control inputs as if it were in actual operation, so feel free to experiment with the many features

and functions to customize the Wide View unit for your particular application.

The Wide View remembers many user settings made while in actual operation, even if power is disconnected. If setting adjustments are made while using the simulator they will not be retained and the unit will default to the latest adjustments made during actual operation.

WHAT YOU SEE ON-SCREEN

The first thing you may notice about the Wide View unit is the high-resolution, wide screen LCD display. The LCD display uses super-twist technology, for maximum viewability and is ruggedized for tough shock and vibration endurance. The display is also backlit for nighttime operation, and uses special components so it can operate at temperatures more extreme than you are likely to encounter.
