USING THE WIDE 2000

SIMULATOR OPERATION

The Wide 2000 is completely automatic and easy to use. Simply press the POWER button and the unit will locate and track the bottom from 2 feet to 600 feet changing ranges as necessary, display any structure or suspended fish and work at speeds from 0 to over 70 mph.

If POWER is the only button you use, you will benefit from the advanced automatic bottom tracking of the Wide 2000. However, if you choose to experiment with the many features and controls the Wide 2000 offers, you can customize the presentation of information to suit your particular needs.

The Wide 2000 contains a simulator, which allows you to use the unit as if you are on the water. The Simulator is invaluable for learning how to operate the many features of the Wide 2000. There are two ways to enable the Simulator: if the unit is powered off, press and hold the POWER button for approximately 3 seconds until a continuous chirp is heard. The Simulator can also be enabled by selecting the Simulator option on the start-up screen after you normally power-up the unit. When this screen is shown, simply press the DOWN ARROW until “Simulator” is highlighted. When the screen times-out, the unit will be in Simulator mode.

If the Wide 2000 is powered up with no transducer connected, the unit will automatically default to the Simulator mode, as normal operation is not possible.

Once the Simulator mode is selected, the next screen will allow you to select either “down” simulator or “side” simulator (the “down” selection simulates normal operation of the unit with the Tri-beam transducer connected). “Down” simulator is the default setting, so if no adjustment is made, the down simulator will be selected. The “side” simulator simulates operation with a Wide Side transducer connected; this is an excellent way to see if you like the way the unit works using the optional Wide Side transducer.

When in simulator operation, the Wide 2000 responds to control inputs as if it is in actual operation, so feel free to experiment with the many features and functions to customize the Wide 2000 for your particular operation. The unit will also simulate the Temp/Speed accessory by showing water temperature and boat speed-readings. To exit Simulator mode, power the unit off.
