You can also adjust the “contrast” of the display. This is a

 

measure of how light or dark the display appears. Use

 

the< control to move from the line for “Lamp On/Off” to

 

the line for “Contrast.” Use the < or > controls to adjust

 

the contrast. (The FishFinder unit has a feature which

 

adjusts the contrast automatically to compensate for

 

changes in air temperature.)
