Simulator Mode

The Fishfinder 160 Blue comes with a built-in simulator. While in simulator mode, the unit will display a random bottom scene, and the Fishfinder 160 Blue can be controlled just as if it were on the water. Using simulator mode allows the user to practice and learn the operation of the unit without having to be on the water.

If the Fishfinder 160 Blue is turned on without a transducer connected, the unit will start in simulator mode. Also the unit can be switched into simulator mode by selecting one of the simulated transducer options from the ‘Simulator Selection’ field as described below. The unit will indicate that it is running in simulator mode by displaying a message across the bottom of the screen. The message will be replaced by the “S” simulator-mode icon in the lower left corner of the screen.

The unit can be configured to act as if a variety of transducers are installed while in the simulator mode.

To Select a Simulated Transducer:

1.Press the SETUP button on the face of the unit.

2.Using the Arrow keys, highlight the ‘Tools’ tab then the ‘Simulator’ selection field.

3.Press ENTER. Choose the desired transducer from the list.

4.Press ENTER to accept the transducer selection.

To exit the Simulator, select ‘Off’ from the list or transducer selections, or turn the unit off.
