Settings: AUTO, 10 to 1500 feet; 3 to 500 meters [International models only], Default = AUTO
Max Depth controls the maximum depth of operation. When Max Depth is set to Auto, the Fishfinder will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capacity of the unit). When Max Depth is set to match your fishing maximum depth, your Fishfinder will not attempt to acquire sonar data below that depth, so more detail will be shown on the screen.
NOTE: If the bottom is deeper than the Max Depth setting, the digital depth readout will flash, indicating that the Fishfinder cannot locate the bottom.
Max Depth controls the down beam reading. The SI Range (Side Imaging® Range) controls the side beams and down beam reading at the same time. If SI Range is set to a deeper range than the Max Depth setting, your 898c SI Combo or 998c SI Combo will default to the SI Range setting. For example, if you set the Max Depth to 50 feet and then set the SI Range to 150 feet, your unit will acquire bottom readings from 150 feet (see Side Imaging®

Settings: Fresh, Salt (shallow), Salt (deep);
Default = Fresh
Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. In salt water, you can also choose the shallow or deep setting.
Water Type affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings. In salt water, what would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large fish in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water setting allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this difference.
Transducer SelectSettings: Various
Transducer Select allows you to select which transducer you want to use. The transducer setting must correspond to the transducer type connected to your system.
