Feature Memory

If your Wide 2000 is installed with a transducer connected, any changes you make to the set-up or User Options (see Control Functions) while in Simulator are retained in the unit’s memory. This allows you to use the simulator to experiment with the various set-up options, and retain your selected settings for normal operation.

If you are using the Wide 2000 in Simulator when no transducer is connected, any selected options are lost when the unit is powered off. The Wide 2000 will return to Factory Settings, or options selected when last used with a transducer, if no transducer is connected.

IMPORTANT: A transducer must be connected to the Wide 2000 in order to retain user settings selected when in simulator mode. If no transducer is detected, the unit defaults to pre-selected options when powered off.

Your Wide 2000 uses a 128 x 128 matrix Super- Twist LCD display. This type of display provides outstanding viewability in all light conditions over a wide range of temperatures.

The presentation of information on-screen may take one of several forms depending on the type of transducer being used, whether or not the Temp/Speed sensor is connected, and the current setting of various user options. See Advanced Operation for information on custom screen options.

NOTE: When in simulator mode, the word “simulator” occasionally appears on the display indicating that the information onscreen is not real sonar data.

The initial screen layout takes one of two basic forms depending on whether the Temp/ Speed accessory is installed. Figure A shows the default view when the Temp/ Speed accessory is not installed. The digital depth number shows the depth of water directly beneath the transducer location.

The range of the graphic display is shown to the right of the graphic information. The upper number is 0 indicating the surface of the water, the lower number is one of the 9 ranges available which best matches the depth of the water. As the depth of the water changes, the range changes as necessary in order to retain a bottom representation on-screen.

When in Auto mode, the horizontal line at the top of the graphics area is the 0 line which represents the surface of the water. Occasionally there will be a gap in this line. This gap indicates that the unit is updating the display even if the bottom is not visible on-screen, or if the bottom information is not changing.
