CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The ProAngler uses a simple
POWER, powers the ProAngler up for normal operation. When the unit is on, POWER turns the unit off. POWER can also be used to go directly into Simulator mode. With the unit powered off, press and hold POWER for several seconds until a continuous chirp is heard.
When a sonar signal is reflected off the bottom back to the transducer, there is often enough energy left in the signal to be reflected oft the surface of the water back to the bottom a second time. Second returns appear as a slightly weaker bottom representation exactly twice the depth of the primary bottom return. The second return is most likely to occur in shallow water and in areas of relatively hard bottom.
The ProAngler uses advanced signal processing to further evaluate any sonar return between the surface and the bottom. For instance, a small school of bait
fish usually appears as a dense cluster of individual dots. If the return meets certain additional criteria, a fish symbol will be assigned. There are three different size fish symbols used to indicate the intensity of the sonar return. While signal intensity is a good indicator of relative fish size, different species of fish have different sonar characteristics, so it is not always possible to distinguish fish size between varying species. The signal intensity is "normalized" for depth so that a small fish close to the boat does not appear as a large fish symbol.

NOTE: When powering the unit from a battery such as in portable applications, avoiding use of the backlight prolongs battery life.
