Raymarine L265 manual Choosing a Frequency

Page 37

If the Buzzer setting is off (indicating that the buzzer is disabled for all of the alarms), this symbol will be open.

Shallow alarm set

You can set an alarm to go off if the boat moves into water which is shallower than a certain depth. If you set this type of alarm, the “S” indicator will appear on the display. If the alarm is triggered, the “S” symbol will flash. If the buzzer has been turned on (in the System Setup display), the buzzer will also sound. To stop the buzzer, press the CLEAR button. The “S” symbol will continue to flash until you move into deeper water.

Deep alarm set

You can set a different alarm to go off if the boat moves into water which is deeper than a certain depth. When this alarm is set, the “D” symbol will appear. If the alarm is triggered, the “D” symbol will flash. If the buzzer has been turned on (in the System Setup display), the buzzer will also sound. To stop the buzzer, press the CLEAR button. The “D” symbol will continue to flash until you move into shallower water.

Fish alarm set

The FishFinder also has an alarm which will sound when- ever it detects a fish. When this alarm is set, the fish symbol appears at the bottom of the display. If the alarm is triggered and the buzzer has been turned on (in the System Setup display), the buzzer will sound for a moment.

Before we explain the other pages, there are some general things you should know about the operation of the FishFinder.

Choosing a Frequency

We said that the FishFinder uses sound waves to “see” through the water under the boat. The “frequency” is a measure of how fast the sound waves change or “vibrate.” The FishFinder uses sound waves with two different frequencies – 50 kHz and 200 kHz. Raymarine uses these two frequencies because each is better for a particular purpose.
