Transducer

The Wide View uses a special "dual element" transducer that transmits a wide and narrow beam simultaneously. Using two different beams allows the unit to compare the returns from each beam individually, and gain more information about the terrain below.

For instance, if a fish is detected in the wide beam only, the target may be some distance

from your boat, however, if a target is detected in the narrow beam, the fish is directly under your boat. This directional information about the target is shown on-screen as hollow fish symbols for wide beam returns, and solid fish symbols for narrow beam returns.

The options in the Transducer menu are "Dual", which uses both transducer elements for transmitting and receiving the sonar signals, "Narrow" which selects the 16 degree narrow beam element only, and "Wide" which uses only the 53 degree element. Different onwater situations and personal preference may dictate the use of only one element, however the Wide View is designed to gather maximum information when both narrow and wide elements are used simultaneously (Dual). Pressing ENTER will display additional information about the selected beam's width of bottom coverage. The width of bottom coverage number is displayed onscreen and is continually updated depending on the water's depth.
