To use the simulator:

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

2.Turn off the 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 automatically stop as soon as you turn on the unit with a trans- ducer attached. The simulator will continue to function normally.

Stop Chart

If you are running multiple units on a boat, there are times when you may want to turn off the sonar. This command turns off the sonar and stops the chart from scrolling. Sonar restarts automatically each time you turn on your unit.

To Stop Chart from running:

1.Press MENU↓ to STOP CHARTENTEXIT.

To turn on sonar and start the chart scrolling again, repeat the above step.

Sonar Menu with Stop Chart command selected. The box is unchecked,

indicating the chart is scrolling across the screen.

Surface Clarity

The markings extending downward from the zero line on the chart are called "surface clutter." The clutter is caused by wave action, boat wakes, temperature inversion and more.

The surface clarity control reduces or eliminates surface clutter signals. It does this by changing the sensitivity of the receiver, decreasing it near the surface and gradually increasing it as the depth increases.

X510C, X515C DF specifications

The Lowrance X515C DF and X510C are advanced fishfinders that cater to both novice and experienced anglers looking for an edge on the water. These cutting-edge devices integrate high-end technology with user-friendly interfaces, making them ideal for various fishing environments, from serene lakes to turbulent coastal waters.

Starting with the X515C DF, this model is equipped with a high-resolution color display that provides vivid images and superior clarity. The 320 x 240 pixel resolution enhances the ability to distinguish between different types of fish and underwater structures. One of its standout features is its Dual Frequency sonar, which operates at both 200 kHz and 83 kHz frequencies. This flexibility allows users to choose the most suitable frequency for their fishing conditions—200 kHz provides detailed readings for shallow water, while 83 kHz excels in deeper conditions.

The X515C DF also includes features such as Fish ID, which uses advanced algorithms to identify fish targets, making it easier for anglers to locate their quarry. Additionally, the unit offers a built-in GPS chart plotting capability, enabling users to navigate and mark waypoints effectively. This is particularly valuable for returning to successful fishing spots with ease.

On the other hand, the X510C maintains the high standards set by its counterpart but with a focus on essential functionalities that fit the needs of anglers who prefer a simpler setup. This model also showcases a 320 x 240 pixel high-resolution color screen and provides excellent visibility in various lighting conditions. The X510C features a robust sonar system that supports 200 kHz and 83 kHz frequencies, helping anglers locate fish and assess underwater topography effortlessly.

Both models are designed with user-friendly menus and controls, ensuring that even those new to fishfinding technology can navigate with ease. They also boast rugged construction to withstand the demanding conditions often faced by fishing enthusiasts.

In conclusion, both the Lowrance X515C DF and X510C deliver exceptional performance, innovative technologies, and features that enhance the fishing experience. With their dual frequency capabilities, high-resolution displays, and intuitive designs, these fishfinders empower anglers to make informed decisions, ultimately increasing their chances of a successful outing on the water. Whether choosing the advanced features of the X515C DF or the simplicity of the X510C, both units promise to enhance any fishing expedition.
