If no key is pressed, the Matrix will begin Normal or Simulator operation, depending on the presence or absence of a transducer. The following operating states are available:

•Normal – Use for on the water operation with transducer connected. The Matrix unit uses advanced transducer detection methods to determine if a transducer is connected. If a functioning transducer is connected, the unit will select the Normal operating state automatically and the unit can be used on the water.

•Simulator – Use to learn the features and functions of the Matrix unit. Simulates on the water operation. If a transducer is not connected or is damaged, the unit will select the Simulator state automatically at startup.

NOTE: When operating in Simulator state with a transducer connected, Menu setting changes are saved to memory. If a transducer is not connected, changes will not be saved and Menu settings will revert to factory defaults every few minutes.

•System Status – Use to view system connections and conduct a unit self-test. (See Installation Confirmation and System Status - Start-Up Menu for more information about using System Status)
