Using the LCR400ID

USING THE BUILT-IN SIMULATOR

USING THE LCR400ID

This section provides complete information on operating the LCR 400ID through its front panel controls. You are encouraged to read this information completely as you first learn to use the LCR 400ID. Doing so will ensure you make the most of its many features and functions.

The first part of this section explains the use of the built-in practice simulator, which you can use to practice selecting functions through the front panel. The remaining instructions, which can be

followed while using the simulator or in actual operation, explain each function and are organized according to the front panel layout.

USING THE BUILT-IN SIMULATOR

The LCR 400ID includes a built-in simulator that helps you learn to use your new equipment. The simulator displays a typical underwater scene, and lets you practice with the controls.

The unit must be turned off before you start the simulator. To activate it, press down and hold the POWER button until a chirping sound begins. Release the button, and the built-in simulator begins displaying a typical LCR 400ID reading.

You can use the simulator to learn the functions explained in the following pages, just as if you were getting actual on-the-water readings (but note that “Sensitivity” is disabled). To turn off the simulator, turn off the unit by pressing the POWER button again.

Of course, the best way to learn the LCR 400ID is with actual use, especially in familiar waters. If you know what’s below and see it on-screen, you’ll quickly become an LCR 400ID expert.
