1.7 Receiver Sensitivity
The gain control adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver. It works in precisely the same manner as the volume control of a broadcast receiver, amplifying the signals received. The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen. If you set up for too little sensitivity, weak echoes may be missed. On the other hand excessive sensitivity yields too much background noise; strong targets may be missed because of the poor contrast between desired echoes and the background noise on the display.
To adjust receiver sensitivity, adjust the gain control so background noise is just visible on the screen.
1.Press the [GAIN] key consecutively until the display shown below appears.
