USING THE LEGEND 1000 SERIES
SONAR VIEWS / CONTROL PANELS
Note: It is important to remember that sonar cannot distinguish between a fish and some other object suspended in the water. Regardless of the object the sonar detects, it has the possibility of being drawn as an arch.
Sonar Views (Deep Models Only)
The dual beam (50/200kHz) sonar information can be displayed in several different views in the CHART WINDOW. In the 200kHz view, only the sonar returns and FISH ID from the 200kHz beam are displayed. Typically, the 200kHz information provides greater bottom detail up to 800' and works well while the boat is in motion. The 50kHz view only shows the sonar returns and FISH ID from the 50kHz beam. The 50kHz information provides depth accuracy up to 2000' and shows more targets in its wider beam. The Split Screen view shows the 50kHz and 200kHz sonar information in

CONTROL PANELS are displayed by using the CONTROL PANEL knob and adjusted by using the RANGE knob. The active CONTROL PANEL consists of three parts: the CONTROL PANEL NAME,
SETTING INDICATOR, and SETTING READOUT.
The CONTROL PANEL NAME indicates the feature, the SETTING
INDICATOR shows the current setting within the complete range of adjustment, and the SETTING READOUT shows the status when CONTROL PANEL is not selected.
To select a CONTROL PANEL feature for adjustment, follow these steps:
1.Press the CONTROL PANEL knob. A list of options appears on the display. The option currently selected for adjustment is indicated by a white background color.
2.Rotate the CONTROL PANEL knob to select the desired option for adjustment. Clockwise rotation selects options higher in the list; counterclockwise rotation selects options lower in the list.
Note: Not all options in the list can be viewed on the display at one time. When the selected option is at the bottom of the list, continue turning the knob to display other options.

| to adjust. Adjustments are made immediately and are |
| shown by an indicator on the selected CONTROL PANEL. |
4. | Remove the CONTROL PANELS by pushing the CONTROL PANEL |

Mode
The first Control Panel to set is Mode. Three modes of operation control the
method used by the Legend 1000 Series to track the bottom, select depth ranges and graph the information on the LCD display. The Mode is selected by changing the Control Panel setting to Auto, Manual, or BTM Lock (Bottom Lock).
Automatic Mode
AUTOMATIC MODE follows the bottom contour, changing depth ranges as needed to keep the most recent sonar
Note: Only the International Models (1005 and 1005 Deep) contain a Language choice in the Control Panel, and only the International Models support multiple units of measure, such as fathoms and metres.
Note: The Sonar View, Fish ID, Fish Alarm, Fish Sensitivity, and Filter choices only appear on the Deep Model Control Panels.
returns visible on the display. AUTOMATIC MODE keeps the acquired bottom visible at all times, showing sonar returns from the surface to the bottom. This is done in
the top ²⁄₃ of the display to reduce range changes and is useful when traveling across the water in areas where the depth constantly changes.
