The Wide Portrait automatically adjusts the depth range depending on the depth of the water. The unit tries to maintain the bottom depiction about 2/3 down the total range (for example, in 20 feet of water, the 0-30 foot range would be selected).

The ARROW button. The button press will bring the Depth Range menu on-screen and allows immediate adjustment of the range.
