OPERATION

MENUS

This unit uses menus to guide you through the unit’s functions and features. The menu key accesses these features, allowing you to cus- tomize the unit to your particular needs and water conditions. All you have to do to leave one menu and enter another is press the menu key repeatedly. If you ever get lost in the menus, simply press the PWR key. This clears the menus from the screen.

Menus change depending on the mode the unit is in. For example, if the automatic mode is

turned off, the sensitivity menu changes from “AUTO SENS” to “MAN SENS.” Other messages may appear in menu boxes or new menus can appear, again depending on previous selections.

AUTOMATIC

When the unit is first turned on, the automatic feature is enabled. This feature automatically adjusts the unit’s range and sensitivity ac- cording to water conditions. It always keeps the bottom depth displayed in the lower por- tion of the screen.

To turn the automatic feature off, press the menu key until the AUTO/MAN menu ap- pears. Now press the down arrow key. This highlights the letters “MAN.” The unit is now in the manual mode. Wait a few seconds and the menu will scroll off the screen’s left side.

Pressing the PWR key also clears it. To turn the automatic feature on again, repeat the above steps, except this time press the up arrow key.

RANGE

You can’t adjust the range when the unit is in the automatic mode. It is adjustable when the unit is in the manual mode, however. To do so, first put the unit in the manual mode. Now press the PWR key to clear the screen. Then press the menu key until the “RANGE SEL” menu appears as shown at the top of the next page. The current range shows at the bottom of the menu. In this case, the range is 60 feet. Now press the up arrow key to decrease the range, the down arrow key increases the range.
