FlashGraf

The FlashGraf sonar page option represents a flasher style sonar com- bined with a scrolling chart. A circular dial shows all returning echoes at a high screen refresh rate.

It uses the Grayline feature to show weaker targets as shades of gray. The bottom depth is also shown as a black bar across the outer circle. There is also a narrow chart display on the left of the screen.

Sonar Simulator

This unit has a built-in simulator that lets you run it as if you were on the water. All sonar features and functions are useable. When in simulator mode, you will see [Simulator Mode] in the Sonar Page title bar. To use the simulator:

1.From the Sonar Page, press MENUMENU↓ to SONAR SIMULATORENT.

2.Turn off Sonar Simulator by pressing MENUMENU↓ to SONAR

SIMULATORENTEXIT.

NOTE:

If you turn on your unit before attaching a transducer, it may enter a demo mode. The words "demo mode" flash on the bottom of the screen and a sonar chart plays much like the simulator. Unlike the simulator, the demo mode is for demonstration only, and will auto- matically stop as soon as you turn on the unit with a transducer at- tached. The simulator will continue to function normally.
