Menu Functions, Sensitivity | Humminbird Tour Series specification

All menus use the same basic layout as shown in Figure F The heading at the top describes the menu function (see Control Functions for more details on individual functions). The UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW symbols to the left of the menu indicate which buttons are available for adjustment. In menus which have numerous possible settings such as depth range, a range of adjustment indicator shows the total range available and the current setting. Within the menu are the options available. The selected option or current setting is highlighted in the black box. If no adjustment is made, this will be the selected setting. Pressing one of the ARROW buttons while the menu is on-screen selects another option.

Several of the menus are multi-step. In some situations if an adjustment is made, additional options become available for further adjustment. Examples of these multi-step menus are Depth Range, Depth Alarm and Zoom. See the detailed description of each function for further explanation.

The one menu option which functions differently than previously described is the Options menu. User Options is a group of functions which are used initially to select user preferences. The Options are not normally needed during operation of the unit. Options differ from the other menu functions in that once selected for viewing, the menu will not "time out"-all the user options must be sequenced through before returning to normal operation. See User Options for detailed description.

MENU FUNCTIONS

Sensitivity

The Sensitivity function controls the sensitivity of the sonar receiver. The Tour Series automatically adjusts the level of receiver sensitivity based on a number of factors including the depth of the water and the level of noise present. Noise can be caused by other electronic devices, engines, trolling motors, propeller cavitation and hydrodynamic flow among others.

The user has the option of biasing this Sensitivity adjustment either higher or lower based on personal preference. You can select one of 11 sensitivity bias settings from -5 to +5. A bias setting of 0 (Factory Setting) has no effect on the automatic sensitivity control. Increasing the bias (+1 through +5) causes

the unit to display the information from progressively smaller sonar returns. By decreasing the sensitivity bias (-1 through -5), the unit effectively filters small sonar returns.

In murky or muddy water, it is often advantageous to reduce the sensitivity bias. This prevents the display from being cluttered with sonar returns from debris or suspended particles. In very clear or very deep water, it may be desirable to increase the sensitivity bias since even the smallest sonar return may be of interest to the user.

To adjust Sensitivity, press MENU repeatedly until the Sensitivity heading is displayed. When the Sensitivity menu appears, use the UP ARROW to increase the sensitivity bias, or the DOWN ARROW to

Another significant attribute of the Tour Series is its GPS capability. Equipped with Humminbird’s proprietary LakeMaster and Navionics maps, these devices allow users to navigate with confidence. The integration of GPS also enables the creation of custom waypoints, routes, and tracks, enhancing connectivity to fishing hotspots. The AutoChart Live feature lets anglers create real-time maps of their fishing spots that highlight depth contours and bottom hardness, offering a customized view of their fishing environment.

The Tour Series is built to withstand the demanding conditions of fishing. With a rugged design and a bright, sunlight-readable display, these fish finders ensure visibility in various environments. The touchscreen interface is intuitive and responsive, allowing for easy adjustments on the fly. Additionally, the models are equipped with a robust transducer system that can achieve impressive depths and deliver accurate readings even in challenging waters.

The integration of the 360 Imaging feature is another standout characteristic. This capability offers a complete panoramic view of the water around the boat, providing additional data on fish and structure location. The ability to see a complete picture of the surroundings allows anglers to make better decisions in real time.

Lastly, the Tour Series doesn’t compromise on connectivity. With built-in Bluetooth and networking capabilities, anglers can connect multiple devices simultaneously and share data seamlessly. Whether you are monitoring multiple fishing rods or collaborating with fellow anglers, the Tour Series provides the tools necessary to enhance your fishing excursions.

In summary, the Humminbird Tour Series combines advanced sonar technology, comprehensive GPS mapping, durable construction, and connectivity features, making it a leader in the fishing electronics market. For passionate anglers, it delivers not just tools, but a profound understanding of their aquatic environment.
