Bottom Presentation

As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance.

NOTE: A sloping bottom will be represented as a thicker line across the display. Also, harder bottoms will be typically displayed with red and softer bottoms will be typically displayed with blue.

The sonar returns from the bottom, structure and fish can be represented as either Structure ID®, or WhiteLine®. See Sonar X-Press™ Menu: Bottom View for details on how to set the bottom view.

Structure ID® represents weak returns in blue and strong returns in red.

WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns in white resulting in a distinctive outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display.

Key Functions

Your Humminbird® user interface consists of a set of easy-to-use keys that work with various on-screen views and menus to give you flexibility and control over your fishing experience.

POWER/LIGHT Key

The POWER/LIGHT key is used to turn the FishFinder on and off, and also to adjust the backlight and background color of the display. Press the POWER/LIGHT key to turn the unit on. The Title screen is then displayed until the

FishFinder begins sonar operation.

To adjust the backlight, or to adjust the display background color, press the POWER/LIGHT key to access the Light and Background menu. Use the 4-WAY Cursor key to select Light or Background and then use the LEFT or RIGHT Cursor key to

change the settings. Press EXIT to exit the Light and Background menu.

Press and hold the POWER/LIGHT key for 3 seconds to turn the unit off. A message will appear telling you how many seconds there are until shutdown occurs. Your FishFinder should always be turned off using the POWER/LIGHT key. This will ensure that shutdown occurs properly and any menu settings will be saved.

VIEW Key

The VIEW key is used to cycle through all available views. Press the VIEW key to advance to the next view. Repeatedly pressing VIEW cycles through all views available. Views can be hidden to optimize the system to your fishing

requirements (see Setup Menu Tab: Select Views, Advanced).
