Chart Speed
The rate that echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed. Maximum is the default. We recommend you leave the chart speed at the default setting for most all fishing conditions. You, however, might consider experimenting with chart speed when you are stationary or drifting very slowly. You may achieve better fish signals when you de- crease the chart speed until it matches your speed across the water.
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 speed around 75 percent. When you are stationary and a fish swims through the sonar signal cone, the image appears on the screen as a long line instead of a fish arch. Reducing the chart speed may result in a shorter line that more closely resembles a regular fish return.

1.From the Sonar Page, press MENU↓ to CHART SPEEDENT.
2.The Chart Speed Control Bar appears. Press ↓ to decrease chart speed. Press ↑ to increase chart speed.
