System Tab

Controls various system and interface settings. The following settings are available:

•Beeper — controls audible beep. Select from ‘Off’, ‘Alarms Only’ (sounds for alarms/messages), or ‘Key and Alarm’ (sounds for key presses and alarms/messages).

•Display Mode — select ‘Fishfinder’ to display the scrolling sonar image on the Sonar Page, or select ‘Depth Sounder’ to show only numeric data for Depth, Water Temp, and Water Speed.

•Language — select from various languages for the unit’s on-screen display.

•Simulator — lets you simulate unit operation using a Depth Only, Depth/Temp, Depth/Speed, or Depth/Temp/Speed transducer. If prompted, choose ‘No’ to the retail demonstration mode for normal consumer simulator use. If the unit does not detect a transducer, it will automatically enter Simulator Mode. While in Simulator mode, a ‘Running Simulator’ message appears after 2 minutes of inactivity.

•NMEA Input/Output — controls the input/output of NMEA 0183 version 2.3 data to/from the unit. This setting must be ‘On’ in order to receive GPS navigational data and send Sonar NMEA data. See pages 5-6 for details on available NMEA sentences.

•Factory Settings — restores all settings to the original factory default values for the entire unit.

•Software Version — displays the unit’s software version and electronic serial number.

•Reset Odometer — this will only appear if you are using a speed-capable transducer/sensor. Resets the odometer field back to zero. See “Configuring Advanced Data Fields” on p. 17 for more information.

Units Tab

Defines units of measure. The following settings are available:

•Depth — select units of measure for depth in Feet (ft), Fathoms (fa), or Meters (m).

•Temperature — select units of measure for temperature in Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C).

•Distance and Speed — select units of measure for distance and speed readouts in ‘Nautical’ (nm/ft, kt), ‘Nautical’ (nm/m, kt), ‘Statute’ (mi, mh) or ‘Metric’ (km, kh) terms.

•Position Format — changes the coordinate system in which a position reading is displayed. The default format is latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes, and thousandths of a minute (hddd°mm.mmm’). The following additional formats are available: Latitude/longitude in decimal degrees (hddd.ddddd°) and Latitude/longitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds (hddd°mm’ss.s”).
