USING THE PLATINUM ID 120

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

5.Enabling Fish Alarm Factory Setting: OFF

The Fish Alarm alerts you with a chirping sound whenever the Platinum ID detects fish (or another object not attached to the bottom). To activate it, select FISH ALARM and press the ON-OFF button.

Initially, the fish alarm will sound when any target not attached to the bottom is detected. The word “ALL” is displayed on the menu and two fish are shown at the lower part of the display. By pressing either arrow button, the word “LARGE” appears and the alarm will sound only when a large target is detected. A single fish symbol is shown on the bottom of the display to represent that large fish only is selected. While there is some variation in sonar characteristics of different species, typically, the strength of the return is relative to the size of the fish.

6.Using Zoom Range Factory Setting: OFF

Zoom Range provides an up-close view. To activate it, select ZOOM RANGE and press ON-OFF. The Zoom view begins initially at the surface; press the Up or Down arrow to adjust Zoom depth. The range of the display is shown when Zoom is on.

The Zoom range depends on the current Depth Range: 7 ½’ in the 15’ and 30’ Depth Ranges; 15’ in the 60’ and 120’ Depth Ranges.

You can adjust zoom depth before activating zoom, in which case the zoom range will be shown with horizontal dotted lines.
