USING THE PLATINUM ID 120

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

9. Setting Depth Range

Factory Setting: ON (Automatic)

When you turn the Platinum ID on, it finds the bottom, sets the ideal Depth Range, and automatically adjusts the Depth Range (to as much as 120’) as the depth changes. In this “Auto Depth Range” mode, the bottom is blacked-in for easy-to- understand readings.

If you prefer, you can turn Auto Depth Range off. Select DEPTH RANGE, press ON-OFF, and adjust the Depth Range with the Up or Down arrow button.

In this “Manual Depth Range” mode, the bottom is not blacked in. This lets you see a “second return,” which is preferred by some fishermen because the width of the second echo can indicate bottom hardness.

10. Trip Log

Factory Setting: OFF

The Platinum ID Trip Log provides a full screen of information on current conditions. To display it, select TRIP LOG and press ON-OFF.

All log information is continuously updated as long as the platinum ID remains powered on. If you want to reset Average Speed, elapsed tome, and Elapsed Distance, press the STOP button.

Pressing ON-OFF exits the Trip Log and returns you to normal Platinum ID operation.

NOTE: Trip Log requires proper input from the speed accessory on the transom of the boat.
