SURVEYING A LAKE
The most successful anglers
on
any body
of waterare
thosewhofish it
day
after
day and year after
year. Eventually, they
learn the hot spots that
produce fish consistently. They
discover
through experience where, and
atwhat
depth, theycan expectto
find the fish
theywant
at
any
season. And
they realize that these productive areas change throughout the year
depending on water
level, temperature, food, and other factors. With the
X-55A, anyone can eliminate guesswork and concentrate on the areas
where fish are likely to be. Even if it's the first time on
the lake!
MENUS
The X-55A uses menus ex-
tensivelyto guide
you through
the functions and features
of
the unit. The menu key ac-
cesses many of these fea-
tures, allowing
you
to custom-
ize the unit to
your particular
needs and water conditions.
Although you may have to
leave one menu and enter
another to reach the desired
function, all
you have to do is
press
the menu
key
to select the next
menu. If
you
ever
get
lost in a
menu,
simply press
the CLEAR key.
HELP
An
extremely useful feature
incorporated into the X-55A series is the
1-leIp
menus. Virtually every
feature has a
help
menu label
that, when
pressed,
gives
one or more pages
of text describing how to use that feature. For
example, pressing the AUTO
key brings up
a menu letting you switch the
unit into or out of the
automatic mode. A help
label also appears
on the
screen. Pressing
the
key adjacentto
the
help
label
gives you
a
description
of how automatic works and how it affects different functions.
