Calibrate Speed
The speed sensor can be calibrated to compensate for inaccuracies. Be- fore you change the setting, first calculate the percentage that the speed is off. You will enter this percentage in a moment.
For example, if you figure the sensor is reading 10 percent faster than actual speed, you will enter – 10 in the calibration window. If the sen- sor is reading 5 percent slower than true speed, you will enter + 5 in the window.
Perform your test in relatively calm water free of current, if possible. (Unless, of course, you are taking the current speed into consideration when making your calculation.) After you have a correction figure, here's how to enter it:
1.Press MENUMENU↓ to CALIBRATE WATER SPEEDENT.
2.Enter the number you calculated earlier: press ↑ or ↓ to change the dis-
played number. Continue until the percentage is correct, then press EXIT.
Chart Speed
The rate that echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed. The default is maximum; we recommend that you leave the speed set there for virtually all fishing conditions.
However, you might consider experimenting with chart speed when you are stationary or drifting very slowly. You may sometimes achieve bet- ter images as you slow down the chart speed to match how fast you are moving across the bottom.
If you are at anchor, ice fishing or fishing from a dock, experiment with a chart speed around 50 percent. If you are drifting slowly, try a chart
