Humminbird Wide 3D Vista manual

The information collected is controlled by pressing the VIEW button. Pressing VIEW toggles the options "both", "right', "left", or "dwn" (down). When the "dwn" mode is selected, the single 24 degree down-looking element of the Wide Side transducer is used to collect this information. This transducer does not have "wide", "narrow", or "dual" beam options and hollow fish symbols cannot be displayed.

The "Range" menu (below) in Wide Side must be used to control the range manually, as the bottom is not always visible on-screen. Ranges of 15, 30, 60, and 120 feet are available.

"Zoom" has no function in Wide Side mode and the menu will not be present.

ID menu functions are slightly different in "wide side" and "down" modes. In the "wide side" mode ID+ is not an option, and all fish are displayed as medium, sized fish symbols. In the "down" mode ID+ is available, and fish are displayed in three sizes.

Most other menu functions work the same in Wide Side mode as with the standard dual beam transducer. "Bottom Alarm", "Fish Alarm", and "Sensitivity" have the same effect.

"Triplog" is available, if the speed and temperature accessory is connected.

To return to the normal "down" operation using the standard 3D transducer, you must reconnect the 3D transducer (by replacing the Wide Side connectors) or use the switch to select the 3D transducer. Next, configure the unit by selecting the "down" mode under the "System Options" menu.

Note: The "sonar mode" must always be configured to match the type of transducer being used.
