Sonar Settings Menu

Network Sonar

Allows your unit to send/receive sonar data from another sonar unit on an ethernet network. To turn on/off network sonar, highlight Network sonar on the Sonar Settings menu and press enter. Sonar sharing is covered in the Sonar section.

Noise Rejection

Interference from bilge pumps, engine vibration, air bubbles, etc, can clutter your unit’s display. Noise Rejection uses ASP (Advanced Signal Processing) to automatically clear interference from the display.

To adjust Noise Rejection:

1.Highlight Noise Rejection on the Sonar Settings menu and press

ENTER.

2.Use the keypad to select the desired option and press enter.

Surface Clarity

Wave action, boat wakes and temperature inversion are some of the sources that can cause onscreen clutter near the surface. Surface Clarity reduces surface clutter by decreasing the sensitivity of the receiver near the surface.
