Lowrance electronic X-45

KEYBOARD BASICS

The unit sounds a tone when you

press any key. This tells you the

unit has accepted a command.

ON/CLEAR

Use this key to turn the unit on. It

also clears menu selections and

the menus from the screen.

OFF

This key turns the unit off.

The X-45 has many features that are accessed with this key. To see the

first menu, press the MENU key. To see the other menus, press the MENU

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-45 is turned on. Three

menus appear, one after the other. The menus are the lights (LAMP), feet-

meter selection (FEET/METER), and contrast adjustment (DARK/LIGHT).

To turn the lights on, press the up arrow key. To switch from feet to meters,

press the down arrow key when the proper menu appears. To adjust the

contrast, wait for the DARK/LIGHT menu to

appear. Now press the up arrow key to

darken the screen, the down arrow to lighten

it. The menus disappear after a few seconds.

If you don’t want to wait, press the ON/

CLEAR key to clear the menus from the

screen.

When the X-45 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.
