The information collected is controlled through the "Transducer" menu. The UP and DOWN arrow keys select "left", "right" or "both". Pressing ENTER will select the "down" mode and a traditional down view will be displayed. When "down" mode is selected, the single 24 degree down-looking element of the Wide Side transducer is used to collect this information. Unlike the dual beam transducer, the Wide Side transducer does not have "wide", "narrow" or "dual" beam options.

The "Range" menu in Wide Side must be used to control the range manually, as the bottom is not always visible on-screen. Ranges of 15, 30, 60 and 120 feet are available.

"Zoom" has no function in Wide Side mode and the menu will not be present.

The "ID" menu is not present in Wide Side mode. Fish are displayed as three different size fish symbols, there are no hollow fish symbols to give directional information.

Most other menu functions work the same in Wide Side mode as with the standard dual beam transducer. "Bottom Alarm", "Fish Alarm", and "Sensitivity" have the same effect.

"Triplog" is available, if the optional temperature/speed accessory is connected.

To return to the normal "down" operation using the standard dual beam transducer, you must reconnect the dual beam transducer (by replacing the Wide Side connector) or use the switch to select the dual beam transducer. Next, configure the unit by selecting the "down" mode under the "System Options" menu.

Note: The "sonar mode" must always be configured to match the type of transducer being used.
