shown using a more solid area of black or gray. This

 

feature helps to show the difference between the strong

 

echo from the bottom and the weaker echoes from fish or

 

weeds near the bottom. The image shown in Fig. 3-4 is

 

presented with the White Line feature turned on.

VRM

“VRM” means “Variable Range Marker.” On this unit, the

 

VRM feature offers a way of finding the depth of an object

 

on the display. When used with the FishFinder Page, the

 

VRM feature creates a horizontal line across the display.

 

Using the < and V arrows on the Page Control Pad, you

 

can move this line up or down on the display. As the line

 

moves, a number shows the depth indicated by the line. By

 

moving the line so that it covers a particular target on the

 

display, you can find the depth of that target. When the

 

Bottom Lock Mode is turned on, the VRM line measures a

 

distance up from the bottom. When the optional Sidelooker

 

Mode is in use, there may be two vertical VRM lines - one

 

to either side of the centerline. You can move these lines

 

toward or away from the centerline using the < and V

 

controls on the Page Control Pad. Keep in mind that if

 

Zoom is set to Manual, the VRM on the FishFinder Page is

 

linked to the Zoom adjustment. That is, they are adjusted

 

together using the < and V controls.

Sidelooker

This item is used with the optional “Sidelooker” transducer.

 

This type of transducer sends sound waves out to the sides

 

of the boat. See Fig. 3-9. If you have installed this

 

transducer, use this entry in the System Setup Menu to turn

 

on the Sidelooker feature.

Speed Cal

This unit can detect and display the speed of the boat

 

through the water. It also uses the speed information to

 

calculate the distance traveled (the “log”). The item for

 

Speed Cal allows you to adjust the speed reading to make

 

it match your actual speed through the water. It presents a

 

reading in percentage points. A reading of 100% means

 

the speed readings from the factory default calibration are

 

accurate, and the unit does not need any correction. If the
