Simulator Operation

The 400TX contains a simulator that allows you to use the unit as if you are on the water. The simulator is invaluable for learning how to operate the 400TX.

There are two ways to start the simulator. If the unit is powered off, press and hold the POWER button for approximately three seconds until you hear a continuous chirp.

The simulator can also be started by selecting the Simulator option on the start-up screen after you 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.

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 400TX responds to control inputs as if it is in actual operation, so feel free to experiment, or to customize the unit for your particular operation.

To exit Simulator mode, power the unit off.

FEATURE MEMORY

If your 400TX 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 simulator to experiment with the various set-up options, and retain your selected settings for normal operation.

If you are using the 400TX in Simulator when no transducer is connected, any selected options are lost when the unit is powered off. The 400TX 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 400TX 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.
