Zoom magnification

This indicates the amount of “zoom” or magnification. You always set the amount of zoom manually, using one of the functions on the Setup display. You can choose an x2 view (double the normal display size), x4, x6 or x8 in the series of setup screens. See Section 4. You must also select the area or “window” of the water you want to zoom. See the next item.

Zoom area When you turn on the zoom feature, it can only enlarge a part of the FishFinder display. You must decide which part you want to enlarge. As we said, the right side of the display shows the normal FishFinder display. The vertical line at the right edge of this display shows the area or “window” of the water being enlarged.

When the FishFinder is set for auto zoom, it will choose the zoom area automatically. The unit always chooses an area of the water which includes the bottom. The unit then moves this area up or down to keep the bottom in the picture. The auto zoom feature is great for bottom fishing.

You may also set the zoom area manually. In the series of setup screens, select manual zoom. (See Section 4.) Once you are back to the zoom display, you can move the zoom area up or down (using the < and < arrows on the Page control pad) to enlarge any selected “window.”

To move to the next display, press the > arrow on the Page control pad.
