4.Enter the value (page i) of the offset.

5.Select ENTER.

6.Check the keel offset value on the Calibration screen to ensure you have entered the correct value.

Setting the Water Temperature Offset

The temperature offset compensates for the temperature reading from a temperature-capable sensor.

1.Measure the water temperature using the temperature-capable transducer that is connected to the echo.

2.Measure the water temperature using a thermometer or a different temperature sensor that is known to be accurate.

3.Subtract the water temperature measured in step 1 from the water temperature measured in step 2.

This is the temperature offset. Enter this value in steps 5 and 7 as a positive number if the sensor connected to the echo measures the water temperature as being colder than it actually is. Enter this value in steps 5 and 7 as a negative number if the sensor connected to the echo measures the water temperature as being warmer than it actually is.

4.From any page, select MENU > Setup > Calibration > Temperature Offset.

5.Use and to select positive (+) or negative (-), based on the value measured in step 3.

6.Enter the value (page i) of the alarm setting.

7.Select ENTER.

8.Check the temperature offset value on the Calibration screen to ensure you have entered the correct value.

Calibrating the Water Speed Sensor

1.From any page, select MENU > Setup > Calibration > Calibrate Water Speed.

2.Follow the on-screen instructions.

NOTE: Be sure to enter the top speed as measured by an external source, such as a GPS. (Do not enter the Water Speed value displayed on the Calibrate Water Speed screen.)
