Down Imaging™ Sonar(Down Imaging™ models only[596c HD DI, XNT 9-DI-T Transducer])

Your 596c HD DI Fishfinder uses Down Imaging™ technology. The Down Imaging™ transducer scans the water with razor-thin,high-definition beams. The beams are wide (side to side) but very thin front to back.

The Down Imaging™ beams can be operated at two frequencies: 455 kHz (75°) or 800 kHz (45°). Select 455 kHz for the best overall image quality and depth. Select 800 kHz for the sharpest image. See Down Imaging™ X-Press™ Menu: Imaging Frequency for more information.

The transducer also uses conical beams to provide data in traditional 2D format (see What’s on the Sonar View). Select 455 kHz for a narrowly focused 16° center beam, or select 200 kHz for a wider 25° beam (see Sonar Menu Tab: Beam Select).

Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation.
