USING THE TRACKER UNIT
MENU FUNCTIONS
Triplog provides seven pieces of informa- tion: the current digital depth, water sur- face temperature, current boat speed, the distance traveled since the Tracker unit was powered up or reset, the average speed, the total time elapsed since power- up or reset, and the input voltage from your boat’s electrical system.
The time, speed and distance calculations are useful for tracking your progress on a trip. The input voltage is useful for deter- mining the condition of the charging sys- tem of the boat. When used in a portable
application or whenever the Tracker unit is
operated from a battery source, the voltage number
can be used to determine battery life. The Tracker unit will operate at voltages from 10 to 20 VDC. Voltages in
excess of 20 or less than 10 VDC cause the unit to power off.
Options. The Options Menu is a series of linked menu functions used initially to set your preferences. Once your preferences are selected, it is unlikely these func-

Option menus: Contrast, Display Speed, Bottom Black, Fish ID, Numeral Size, Diagnostic, Units, Speed Offset, Depth Off-

The Tracker unit will automatically adjust the dis-
play contrast to compensate for changing ambi-
