USING THE PLATINUM ID 120

HOW SONAR WORKS

The Platinum ID uses the returned signals to display a detailed underwater image, and constantly updates the display as you travel across the water. The display informs you of the current depth and reveals individual fish, schools of fish, their location, bottom details as well as bottom hardness.

An easy-to-use control also lets you enable a depth alarm for an audible alert when the boat is in shallow waters.

The Platinum ID incorporates the best of available technologies, and offers advantages you won’t find in other depth sounders.

The liquid crystal display offers sharp viewing even in bright, direct sunlight, and is backlit for nighttime operation. Advanced LCD “super-twist” technology built into the Platinum ID offers a wider viewing angle and higher contrast than ordinary LCD screens.

(You will notice that the display can be seen better at certain angles. The All-in-One Mounting System lets you easily adjust the viewing angle for optimum viewing. Note also that some polarized glasses can affect your view by causing a rainbow or prism to appear; if so, tilt the unit slightly.)

Though it includes sophisticated electronics, the Platinum ID is tough enough to take the pounding punishment of rough seas or a race across the lake. Completely waterproof - even saltwater-proof – your Platinum ID will provide you with years of thoroughly reliable operation.
