1.18 Deep Gain

“Deep Gain” compensates for propagation attenuation of the ultrasonic waves. It does this by equalizing echo presentation so that fish schools of the same size appear in the same density in both shallow and deep waters. In addition, it reduces surface noise.

1.Press the [MENU/ESC] key to open the menu.

2.Use ▲ or ▼ to choose DEEP GAIN from page 1 of the menu.

3.Press ► to show to the options window.

4.Choose Low, Medium, or High as appropriate. High provides the greatest degree of gain reduction against short range echoes.

1.19 Alarms

Alarm description

The LS-6100 has six conditions which generate both audio and visual alarms: bottom alarm, normal fish alarm, bottom lock fish alarm, water temperature alarm, arrival alarm and speed alarm. (The water temperature, arrival and speed alarms require appropriate sensors.)

Bottom alarm: The bottom alarm alerts you when the bottom is within the alarm range set. To activate the bottom alarm the depth must be displayed.

Fish (normal) alarm: The fish (normal) alarm tells you when fish are within the preset alarm range.

Fish (bottom lock) alarm: The fish (bottom lock) alarm, available with the bottom-lock mode, sounds when fish are within a certain distance from the bottom. Note that the Fish (normal) alarm must be turned on to use this alarm.

Water temperature alarm: The water temperature alarm alerts when the water temperature is within (Inside alarm) the alarm range set or over the range set.

Speed alarm: The speed alarm alerts you when the speed is within (Inside alarm) or over (Outside alarm) the preset speed.

Arrival alarm: The arrival alarm alerts when you are near a waypoint by the distance set.
