KEYBOARD BASICS

The unit sounds a tone when you press any key. This tells you the unit has accepted a command.

PWR/CLEAR

Use this key to turn the unit on and off. It also clears menu selections and the menus from the screen.

MENU FWD/MENU REV

The X-28 has many features that are accessed with these keys. To scroll forward through the menus,

press the MENU FWD key repeatedly. To move backwards through the menus, press the MENU REV key repeatedly.

UP and DOWN ARROWS

Use these keys to adjust virtually every feature and function on the unit.

NOTE: The up arrow key also stops the chart when no menus are displayed. In other words, anytime you wish to stop the chart, first make certain no menu is on the screen. Now press the up arrow key. The chart freezes and the word “STOP” appears at the top of the screen. To start the chart, press the up arrow key again.

DISPLAY - General

The lights flash for about ten seconds when the X-28 is turned on. Two menus appear, one after the other. The menus are the lights (BACK LIGHT) and feet-meter selection (FEET/METER). To turn the lights on, press the up arrow key while the backlight menu is showing. To switch from feet to meters, press the down arrow key when the proper menu appears. The menus disappear after a few seconds. If

you don’t want to wait, press the PWR/CLEAR key to clear the menus from the screen.

When the X-28 is first turned on, the display appears similar to the one at right. The unit is in the automatic mode. The depth range displays on the upper left side of the screen. In the example shown at right, the range is from 0 to 40 feet and the bottom depth is 29.4feet.
