USING THE LEGEND 2000 SERIES

CHART SPEED / SONAR VIEW / LIGHT / CONTRAST / RTS WINDOW

Sonar View

SONAR VIEW (Deep Models only) selects the source of the sonar information being displayed. 200kHz displays sonar information and FISH ID from the 200kHz beam only. 50kHz displays sonar information and FISH ID from the 50kHz beam only. SPLIT SCREEN presents the sonar information from the 200kHz and 50kHz beams simultaneously in side-by- side windows. 200KHZ/50KHZ displays the sonar information from the 200kHz beam and target information from the 50kHz beam.

Split window 50kHz/200kHz, shown with metric depth, °C and kph digital readouts available on international models.

The CONTRAST setting is retained in memory after the unit is turned off as long as it is set between 6 and 10. The factory setting is 8.

RTS Window

RTS WINDOW selects the width of the window dedicated to REAL TIME SONAR™. Selecting NARROW decreases the width of the

RTS WINDOW leaving more space for the CHART WINDOW, but some sonar returns will not be visible. Selecting WIDE makes the RTS WINDOW wider and shows more of the sonar intensity information, but less space on the LCD is available for sonar history. Selecting OFF turns off the RTS WINDOW and the entire LCD shows sonar history.

Note: When the RTS Window is adjusted to Wide, no grayscale information is shown.

The RTS WINDOW setting is retained in memory after the LEGEND 2000 SERIES is turned off. The factory setting is

The SONAR VIEW setting is retained in memory after the unit is turned off. The factory setting is 200KHZ.

Light

LIGHT activates the display backlight and selects the brightness level. The backlight is manually-

controlled except when the unit first powers up. During initial power up, the backlight turns on at full brightness so the display will be visible at night. The backlight will then begin to decrease in intensity automatically until it is off in order to save energy. Selecting the CONTROL PANEL LIGHT choice stops the automatic off process, keeping the backlight on at the intensity level selected.

The Light setting defaults to factory settings after the Legend 2000 Series is turned off. The factory setting is ON full at power up and automatic decrease to OFF.

Contrast

CONTRAST enhances the viewability of the LCD by making it darker or lighter. Selecting a higher number

darkens the display; selecting a lower number lightens the display. The LEGEND 2000 SERIES uses sophisticated electronics to adjust the contrast level automatically; however, at times of extreme heat or cold, manually adjusting the contrast for best display may be needed.

Surface Clutter

SURFACE CLUTTER eliminates most sonar returns near the water surface caused by trapped air, boat wakes and temperature

inversions. Most surface clutter appears on the display because the strongest sonar returns come from the shallowest objects. The LEGEND 2000 SERIES uses a sophisticated feature called TVG (Time Variable Gain) to overcome surface clutter and counteract the effect of depth on sonar return strength. The level 1 setting is optimal for making sonar information from all depths appear uniformly. Many users, however, prefer to see more surface clutter than this setting shows. Selecting a higher number shows more surface clutter, but sonar returns nearest the surface will appear more intense than they actually are.

The SURFACE CLUTTER setting is retained in memory after the LEGEND 2000 SERIES is turned off. The factory setting is 4.
