Control Panels provide access to important, but
infrequently-adjusted features, such as CHARTSPEED,MODE,
SONARVIEW,LIGHT,CONTRAST,RTS WINDOW,SURFACE CLUTTER,WHITELINE,
FILTER,DEPTH ALARM,TEMPALARM,FISHALARM,FISHSENSITIVITY,FISHID,
SIMULATOR,UNITS,and, in International Models only, LANGUAGE.

as well as additional features. Use the MODE to change
the bottom tracking and depth range method of
display, then use the other Control Panels to add
features to your selected mode of operation.

Note: Only the International Models (3005 and 3005 Deep)

contain a Language choice

in the Control Panel, and only

the

International Models support

multiple units of measure, such as

fathoms and metres.

Note:The Sonar View, Fish

ID, Fish Alarm, Fish

Sensitivity, and Filter

choices only appear on the Deep Model

Control Panels.

CONTROLPANELS are displayed by using
the CONTROL PANEL knob and adjusted
by using the RANGE knob. The active

Mode
The first Control Panel to set
is Mode. Three modes of
operation control the
method used by the Legend 3000 Series to track the
bottom, select depth ranges and graph the
information on the LCD display. The Mode is selected
by changing the Control Panel setting to Auto,
Manual, or BTM Lock (Bottom Lock).
Automatic Mode
AUTOMATICMODE follows the bottom contour, changing
depth ranges as needed to keep the most recent sonar
returns visible on the display. AUTOMATICMODE keeps the
acquired bottom visible at all times, showing sonar
returns from the surface to the bottom and just
beyond. This is useful when traveling across the water
in areas where the depth constantly changes, requiring
frequent range changes.
