Using the Built-In Simulator

The SeaScope ID600 includes a built-in simulator that helps you learn to use your new equipment. The simulator displays a typical underwater scene, and lets you practive with the controls.

The unit must be turned off before you start the simulator. To activate it, press down and hold the POWER button until a chirping sound begins. Release the button, and the built-in simulator begins displaying a typical SeaScope ID600 reading.

You can use the simulator to learn the functions explained in the following pages, just as if you were getting actual on-the-water readings. To turn off the simulator, turn off the unit by pressing the POWER button again.

Of course, the best way to learn the SeaScope ID600 is with actual use, expecially in familiar waters. If you know what’s below and see it on screen, you’ll quickly become a SeaScope ID600 expert.

Operating the SeaScope ID600

The SeaScope ID600 offers several functions that you can adjust with the front panel buttons. (Note that to select something with a button, you must press it fully so that you hear a “chirp” sound).

You can get acquainted with these features by actual operation, or when using the simulator.

POWER: Press this once to turn the SeaScope ID600 on. Pressing it again turns the SeaScope ID600 off. (Any adjustments you make with other front panel buttons are retained, as long as the 12-volt DC pwer supply remains connected). When the unit is off, keeping POWER pressed for about 2 seconds starts the built-in simulator.
