Powering Up the Unit

After installation, turn the LEGEND 3000 SERIES on by momentarily pressing the GAIN knob. An audible chirp sounds as the unit turns on. If the unit detects that the transducer is connected and is in water, the LEGEND 3000 SERIES begins to show sonar information on the display. If the transducer is not detected, the unit starts up in SIMULATOR mode.

To power the unit off at any time, press and hold the GAIN knob for several seconds until the unit turns off.

Simulator and Feature Memory

The LEGEND 3000 SERIES contains a SIMULATOR that allows you to use the unit as though you are on the water. The SIMULATOR is an invaluable aid to

Performance

The LEGEND 3000 SERIES represents a new way of thinking about fishing electronics. It combines state-of-the-art electronics with the detail of a traditional sonar paper chart recorder to create the fishfinder of the future. Minimal, easy-to-understand knob controls provide access to the most important features. The LEGEND 3000 SERIES eliminates confusion created by too many buttons and menus. High technology, high performance, with “back to basics” operation makes the LEGEND 3000 SERIES the ideal choice of the serious angler.

The LEGEND 3000 SERIES uses sonar to locate and define underwater objects. Sonar technology is based on sound waves sent into the water in a controlled “beam” from the transducer. Objects within this beam reflect the sonar signal back. The LEGEND 3000 SERIES very accurately measures the distance to these objects based on the time it takes for the sonar to return. Each object (bottom, fish or structure) reflects the sonar uniquely, providing information about its makeup. The LEGEND 3000 SERIES draws this returned information on the display.

The LEGEND 3000 SERIES operates in a wide variety of water conditions, from 2' to 600' (2000' for the Legend 3000 Deep and 3005 Deep Models). Actual depth capability depends on many factors such as bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation. All sonar units typically read to deeper depths in fresh water than in salt water.

Deep Models Additional Performance

If you purchased a Legend 3000 Deep or a Legend 3005 Deep Model, your Legend product is equipped with a 50kHz/200kHz dual beam transducer capable of performing to a depth of 2000 feet. In addition, your unit contains several extra features that will enhance its sonar performance in deep water. SONAR VIEW allows you to display the sonar information from either beam or both beams simultaneously. FILTER control allows the filtering algorithms to be turned off to show the greatest amount of sonar information. FISH ALARM, FISH SENSITIVITY, and FISH ID provide advanced signal processing to identify fish and show their depth and relative size from either beam.

learning the features and functions of the LEGEND 3000 SERIES. All controls are operational and settings can be changed to experiment with various features. An indicator appears at the bottom left of the display when operating in SIMULATOR mode.

There are two ways to start the SIMULATOR. The method to use depends on whether a transducer is connected.

Power On with No

Transducer

If the LEGEND 3000 SERIES is powered on with no transducer connected, it starts up in SIMULATOR mode. No other

steps are needed. In this mode, the LEGEND 3000 SERIES does not remember any setting changes after power off, but defaults to the factory settings.

Power On with Transducer Connected

If the LEGEND 3000 SERIES is powered on with the transducer connected, the SIMULATOR must be turned on manually. To turn on the SIMULATOR manually:

1.Press the Control Panel knob to display the list of options.

2.Rotate the Control Panel knob to scroll through the list until Simulator is visible and is highlighted on the display.

3.Turn the Range knob to turn Simulator from Off to On.

4.Press the Control Panel knob to clear the screen.

When operating with the Simulator on and the transducer connected, changes made to the following Control Panel choices are permanently remembered: Chart Speed, RTS Window, Surface Clutter, Contrast, White Line, Units, and in International Models, Language.
