USING THE TOUR SERIES

The Tour Series is completely automatic and easy to use. Simply press the POWER button and the unit will locate and track the bottom from 2' to 600' changing ranges as necessary, display any structure or suspended fish and work at speeds from 0 to over 70 mph.

If POWER is the only button you use, you will benefit from the advanced automatic bottom tracking of the Tour Series. However, if you choose to experiment with the many features and controls the Tour Series offers, you can customize the presentation of information to suit your particular needs.

SIMULATOR OPERATION

The Tour Series contains a simulator which allows you to use the unit as if you are on the water. The Simulator is invaluable for learning how to operate the many features of the Tour Series. There are two ways to enable the Simulator: if the unit is powered off, press and hold the POWER button for approximately 3 seconds until a continuous chirp is heard. The Simulator can also be enabled by selecting the Simulator option on the start-up screen after you normally power-up the unit. When this screen is shown, simply press the DOWN ARROW until "Simulator" is highlighted. When the screen times-out, the unit will be in simulator mode.

If the Tour Series is powered up with no transducer connected, the unit will automatically default to the simulator mode, as normal operation is not possible.

Once the Simulator mode is selected, the next screen will allow you to select either "down" simulator or "side" simulator (the "down" selection simulates normal operation of the unit with the Tri-beam transducer connected). "Down" simulator is the default setting, so if no adjustment is made, the down simulator will be selected. The "side" simulator simulates operation with a Wide Side transducer connected. This is an excellent way to see if you like the way the unit works using the optional Wide Side transducer.

When in simulator operation, the Tour Series responds to control inputs as if it is in actual operation, so feel free to experiment with the many features and functions to customize the Tour Series for your particular operation. The unit will also simulate the Temp/Speed accessory by showing water temperature and boat speed and speed readings. To exit Simulator mode, power the unit off.

FEATURE MEMORY

If your Tour Series is installed with a transducer connected, any changes you make to the setup or User Options (see Control Functions) while in Simulator are retained in the unit's memory. This allows you to use simulator to experiment with the various set-up options, and retain your selected settings for normal operation.

If you are using the Tour Series in Simulator when no transducer is connected, any selected options are lost when the unit is powered off. The Tour Series will return to Factory Settings, or options selected when last used with a transducer, if no transducer is connected.

IMPORTANT A transducer must be connected to the Tour Series in order to retain user settings selected when in simulator mode. If no transducer is detected, the unit defaults to pre-selected options when powered off.
