Reset. With the many User Options available to customize the 250DX, it is easy to configure the unit in such a way that it is detrimental to a particular use. By using the Reset function, all variable or user- controlled features (except Filter) of the 250DX are returned to the factory settings.

The Reset function is an important first step in troubleshooting problems to ensure that a user selected setting is not the cause for the perceived problem.

USING THE DIAGNOSTIC FEATURE

The 250DX contains a powerful diagnostic tool that can aid in determining the cause of a problem.

To use the Diagnostic feature, select the Diagnostic feature on the start-up menu on the initial screen. Diagnostic can also be accessed through the Options menu.

Self Test. Initially, the 250DX will perform a self-test. This test confirms the operation of all internal circuitry. At the conclusion of the test, one of two messages will appear. PASSED indicates the internal test discovered no failures, FAILED indicates a significant internal problem was discovered and the unit requires factory service. A code number appears that tells repair personnel where the problem is.

Transducer Connection. The first connection tested is Transducer input. If a transducer is detected, the message CONNECTED appears. If a series of dashed lines is shown, no transducer is connected or there is

a problem with the transducer or cable.

If you are using multiple transducers, switch between transducers to confirm the connections for each.
