Start-Up Options Menu

Press the MENU key when the Title screen is displayed to access the Start-Up Options menu.

Use the UP or DOWN 4-WAY Cursor keys to position the cursor, then the RIGHT Cursor key to select one of the following choices. If you wait too long, the system will default to whichever menu mode happens to be highlighted:

Normal

Simulator

System Status

PC Connect (use with PC Connect Cable).

Start-Up Options Menu

See the following paragraphs for more information about each of these choices.

Normal Operation

Use Normal operation for on the water operation with a transducer connected. In addition, your Matrix™ uses advanced transducer detection methods to determine if a transducer is connected. If a functioning transducer is connected, Normal operation will be selected automatically at power up and your Matrix™ can be used on the water.

Exit Normal operation by powering your Matrix™ off.

Simulator

Use the Simulator to learn how to use your Matrix™ before taking your boat on the water. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on the water operation, providing a randomly-updated display. We recommend going through this manual while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function and affect the display the way they actually do when in Normal operation.

Simulator

NOTE: To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important to select Simulator manually from the Start-Up Options menu as opposed to letting the Matrix™ enter Simulator automatically (as it will if a transducer is not connected and you do nothing during power up). Manually selecting Simulator from the Start-Up Options menu allows you to pre-configure your Matrix™ for on the water operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use.

A message will appear on the display periodically to remind you that you are using the Simulator.

Exit the Simulator by powering your Matrix™ off.
