83 kHz Sensitivity

(Advanced)

83 kHz Sensitivity changes the sensitivity of the 83 kHz beam. Increasing the 83 kHz Sensitivity will display additional weak returns and decreasing the 83 kHz Sensitivity will display fewer weak returns. The 83 kHz Sensitivity menu choice is only available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode).

NOTE: 83 kHz Sensitivity is particularly useful for adjusting the sensitivity of the 83 kHz sonar returns in the 200/83 kHz Split Sonar View. The 83 kHz sensitivity can be adjusted without affecting the sensitivity of the 200 kHz returns shown in the 200 kHz sonar window.

To set the 83 kHz Sensitivity:

1.Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight 83 kHz Sensitivity on the Sonar main menu.

2.Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to set the 83 kHz Sensitivity. (-10 to +10, Default = 0)

The built-in temperature gauge is yet another valuable feature, providing real-time water temperature readings, which can help in determining the best fishing strategies based on fish behavior.

The unit’s user-friendly interface ensures that even novice anglers can operate it with ease. The menu system is intuitive, allowing users to access essential functions quickly.
