Key Functions

Your Matrix™ user interface consists of a set of easy-to-use keys that work with various on-screen views and menus to give you flexibility and control over your fishing experience.

POWER/LIGHT Key

The POWER/LIGHT key is used to turn the Matrix™ on and off, and also to adjust the backlight and background color of the display. Press the POWER/LIGHT key to turn the unit on. The Title screen is then displayed until the Matrix™ begins sonar operation.

To adjust the backlight or to adjust the display background color, press the POWER/LIGHT key to access the Light and Background menu. Use the 4-WAY Cursor key to select Light or Background and then use the LEFT or RIGHT Cursor key to change the settings. Press EXIT to exit the Light and Background menu.

Press and hold the POWER/LIGHT key for 3 seconds to turn the unit off. A message will appear telling you how many seconds there are until shutdown occurs. Your Matrix™ should always be turned off using the POWER/LIGHT key. This will ensure that shutdown occurs properly and any menu settings will be saved.

VIEW Key

The VIEW key is used to cycle through all available views. Press the VIEW key to advance to the next view. Repeatedly pressing VIEW cycles through all views available. Views can be hidden to optimize the system to your fishing requirements (see View Menu Tab).

INFO Key

Press the INFO key while in Bird's Eye, Chart or Combo View to display information about objects that are nearest to an active cursor.

If the cursor is not active, the following menu will be displayed. Use the 4-WAY Cursor key to select Nearest Port, Nearest Tide Station or Nearest Current Station, then use the RIGHT Cursor key to display the requested information.

NOTE:Thebuilt-inUni-Map™doesnotcontainPort,TideorCurrentinformation.

This information is only available from optional purchase MMC cards.

MENU Key

The MENU key is used to access the menu system.

Start-Up Options Menu - Press the MENU key during the power up sequence to view the Start-Up Options menu.

X-Press™ Menu - Press the MENU key once for the X-Press™ Menu. The X-Press™ Menu allows you to access frequently-used settings without having to navigate through the whole menu system. When the X-Press™ Menu is displayed, you can use the UP or DOWN Cursor keys to move to a particular menu choice. As soon as you alter a parameter (using the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys) the X-Press™ Menu will collapse temporarily, and the screen will update if it is affected by your menu setting change, allowing you to see the effects of your action immediately. Reactivate the X-Press™ Menu by using the UP or DOWN Cursor keys.

Main Menu - Press the MENU key twice for the tabbed Main Menu System. The Main Menu System is organized under tabbed headings to help you find a specific menu item quickly: Alarms, Sonar, Navigation, Setup, Views, and Accessories tabs are part of your tabbed Main Menu System. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control key to select a tab; then use the DOWN or UP key to select the menu item, and the LEFT or RIGHT key to alter a menu setting.

4-WAY Cursor Control Key

The 4-WAY Cursor Control Key has multiple functions, depending on the situation:

Freeze Frame - Pressing any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key will freeze the display in the Sonar View and a cursor and cursor dialog box will be displayed. The cursor can be positioned on the Sonar View using the 4-WAY Cursor Control key.

Active Cursor - In the Bird's Eye View, the 4-WAY Cursor Control key controls the motion of the eyepoint. In the Chart and Combo Views, the 4-WAY Cursor Control key pans the charts.

Menu Selection - Use the DOWN or UP arrow keys to select a menu choice from the menu list, then use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys to change a menu setting.

NOTE: Menu choices are implemented and saved immediately - no further action is required.

MARK Key

Press the MARK key while in any view to mark the position of a waypoint, either at the current boat location, or, if the Cursor is active, at the current Cursor location.
