Adjusting sensitivity in Auto Sensitivity Mode is similar to manually ad- justing a car's speed with the accelerator pedal while cruise control is on. You can tell the car to run faster, but when you let off the gas the cruise control automatically keeps you from running slower than the minimum speed setting. In the unit, auto mode will let you increase sensitivity to 100 percent, but the unit will limit your minimum setting. This prevents you from turning sensitivity down too low to allow automatic bottom tracking. When you change the setting with auto turned on, the unit will continue to track the bottom and make minor adjustments to the sensitivity level, with a bias toward the setting you selected.

Adjusting sensitivity in Manual Sensitivity Mode is similar to driving a car without cruise control — you have complete manual control of the car's speed. In the unit, manual mode allows you to set sensitivity at 100 percent (maximum) or zero percent (minimum.) Depending on wa- ter conditions, the bottom signal may completely disappear from the screen when you reduce sensitivity to about 50 percent or less.

Try adjusting sensitivity in both auto and manual modes to see how they work.

To adjust sensitivity:

1.Press MENUENT.

2.The Sensitivity Control Bar appears. Press ↓ to decrease sensitivity. Press ↑ to increase sensitivity. When it is set at the desired level, press EXIT. When you reach the maximum or minimum limit, a tone sounds.
