The Depth Range can be adjusted manually. Press MENU repeatedly until the Depth Range menu is visible. The two options available are "Auto" (Factory Setting) and "Manual". Pressing the DOWN ARROW enables "Manual" depth range control and an additional menu will appear which allows the user to adjust the current depth range setting. If no further button is pressed, the current depth range is selected as the desired range and the unit returns to normal operation.

Using "Manual" Depth Range control, the user can view sonar information from the area near the surface in great detail. If a depth range other than the current range is desired, pressing the DOWN ARROW to highlight "Adjust" will allow selection of one of the 6 available ranges. Simply press and hold the UP or DOWN ARROW button to scan through the available options. If a setting limit is reached, the audible "error" or multiple chirps will be heard and no further adjustment is allowed. When "Manual" range is used, the unit no longer adjusts the Depth Range to the most appropriate range for bottom display. Often, the bottom may not be visible on screen and a Bird Note T"" will appear to indicate this condition. The digital depth readout always determines the depth of the bottom, even if it is not visible on-screen.

When a Depth Range is selected manually and the Depth Range menu is still active (most recently used), further adjustment of the depth range can be achieved by simply pressing the appropriate UP or DOWN ARROW button. The button press will bring an abbreviated Depth Range menu onscreen located next to the lower range number, and allows immediate adjustment of the range. After any adjustment is made, a Bird Note T"' will appear briefly to confirm the adjustment.

To return to "Automatic" Depth Range control, press the MENU button until the Depth Range menu appears on-screen and use the UP ARROW to select AUTO. The Wide 3D Paramount returns to Automatic operation.

Note: Depth Range is not remembered when the unit is powered off. At power up, the unit is always in automatic depth range.

The Wide 3D Paramount uses a greatly enhanced Zoom capability called "TruZoom" which offers expanded information on a select area of sonar information. The Zoom

options is only available when using the 2D view. Zoom is similar to Depth Range in that it controls the range of information displayed in the graphics area of the display. Zoom, however, allows selection of ranges beneath the surface so any area of water between the surface and the bottom can be enlarged to provide more detailed information. By using the full display to show a small area of coverage, the effective display resolution is increased both vertically (depth information) and horizontally, and the unit's ability to separate targets which are very close together is enhanced.

3D specifications

Humminbird 3D is a groundbreaking sonar technology that has revolutionized the way anglers and marine enthusiasts navigate and fish under the surface of water. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques, this system provides an unparalleled view of underwater structures, fish, and other elements, making it a vital tool for any serious angler.

At its core, Humminbird 3D employs a proprietary sonar technology that combines traditional 2D sonar with sophisticated 3D mapping capabilities. This dual functionality allows users to visualize underwater environments in a way that was previously unimaginable. The 3D views offer depth perception, enabling anglers to identify ledges, drop-offs, and other crucial fishing spots with precision. Instead of just a flat representation, users can see the terrain's contours, making it easier to understand the underwater landscape.

One of the standout features of Humminbird 3D is its ability to create real-time three-dimensional maps. This allows users to dynamically adjust their strategies while fishing, as they can continually monitor how fish are interacting with their surroundings. Furthermore, the system boasts enhanced target separation capabilities, making it easier to distinguish between individual fish and structures.

Another key technology utilized in Humminbird 3D is its integration with the CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) sonar technology. This allows for clearer images and improved target resolution, providing comprehensive details about various underwater elements. The result is greater accuracy in identifying fish species and understanding their behavior in relation to underwater structures.

Humminbird 3D also features an easy-to-use interface, designed to be intuitive for users of all experience levels. The system can be seamlessly integrated into existing Humminbird products, enhancing the functionality of existing setups without requiring a complete overhaul. Additionally, it supports connectivity with other devices, allowing for the sharing of data and enhancing the overall fishing experience.

Durability and reliability are also characteristics inherent to the Humminbird 3D system. Designed for the harsh environments of marine use, it can withstand the rigors of fishing and boating, ensuring that users have a dependable tool at their disposal.

In summary, Humminbird 3D is a game-changer in the realm of sonar technology, providing anglers with unprecedented insights into underwater environments. Its combination of 3D mapping, CHIRP sonar, real-time monitoring, and user-friendly interface makes it a valuable asset for anyone looking to enhance their fishing experience and gain an edge on the water.
