Units

The Unit’s function allows the user to select the units of measurement for the speed readout. Both MPH or statute miles per hour are available. Use the ARROW buttons to highlight the desired selection. The Wide Portrait remembers this selection even when the unit is powered off. Press MENU to go to the next menu.

Fish ID

The next Option menu is Fish ID. There are three selections available; Off, ID on, and ID+ On. The factory setting is ID+ On. With Fish ID Off, sonar returns are displayed as “raw” information. There is no interpretation made by the unit. Selecting ID Off will also disable the fish alarm.

ID ON enables the Wide Portrait to interpret the raw sonar data and, using a variety of techniques, depict appropriate target returns as one of three different size fish symbols. Further identification shows whether the fish is in the left, center, or right beam.

ID+ ON adds an additional piece of information to the location of the fish. The depth beneath the surface for selected fish symbols is attached to the fish symbol.

Use the ARROW buttons to highlight the desired setting, and press MENU to advance to the next menu.
