Lower Range

Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be displayed. Automatic is the default setting. When in automatic mode, the lower range will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom. Selecting a specific setting locks the depth range into Manual mode. Use both Upper and Lower Range together to view a specific depth range manually when looking for fish or bottom structure. M will be displayed in the lower right

corner of the screen when you start manually adjusting the Lower Range to indicate that you are in Manual mode.

For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower Depth Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range, allowing you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display went all the way to the bottom.

NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered.

To adjust the Lower Range:

1.Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-PressTMmenu.

2.Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Lower Range setting. (AUTO, 10 to 1500 feet, 3 to 500 meters [International Models only], Default = AUTO)

Side Beam Range

(WideSide® transducer: WideSide® view only)

Side Beam Range sets the deepest range that will be displayed in the WideSide® View. The range must be set manually to keep the bottom visible on the display. If the Side Beam Range is set too deep for current depth conditions the sonar information will become compressed on the display and valuable detail will be lost. A WideSide® transducer must be connected to the 700 Series™ Fishing System. Side Beam Range menu choice is available when Transducer Select is set to WideSide® (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select) and can only be accessed from the WideSide® view.

NOTE: The Side Beam Range requires the purchase of the WideSide® transducer. You can visit our website at www.humminbird.com to order this accessory online or contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468.

To adjust the Side Beam Range:

1.Make sure you are in WideSide® Transducer Mode and that a WideSide® transducer is connected, then highlight Side Beam Range on the Sonar X-PressTMmenu.

2.Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Side Beam Range setting. (6 - 160 feet, or 2 - 40 meters [International Models only], Default = 160 feet [40 meters])

Chart Speed

Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster speed shows more information in the Sonar Views and is preferred by most anglers; however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of the Chart Speed setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum rate possible for the depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.

To adjust the Chart Speed:

1.Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-Press™ menu.

2.Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Chart Speed setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest, Default = 5)
