Fish alarm set
The FishFinder also has an alarm which will sound when- ever it detects a fish. When this alarm is set, the fish symbol appears at the top of the display. If the alarm is triggered and the buzzer has been turned on (in the System Setup Menu), the buzzer will sound for a moment.
Auto features on (AUTO)
If any of the automatic features are turned on, the “Auto” indication will appear here. (These include the automatic range, auto sensitivity, and auto zoom features.)
Auto range on (R)
The “range” is the maximum depth the unit is set to measure. When the auto range feature is on, the FishFinder chooses the correct range setting automatically.
Auto sensitivity on (S)
The “sensitivity” controls the ability of the unit to tell the difference between echoes of different strengths. A higher sensitivity setting makes it easier to see smaller fish, but also may pick up background noise. When auto sensitivity is on, the FishFinder chooses the correct sensitivity setting automatically.
Auto zoom on (Z)
The “zoom” can be used to magnify the image from a small section of the water below the boat. (This is used with the Zoom Mode, which we will describe in a moment.) When the auto zoom feature is on, the FishFinder automatically moves the zoom window up or down to track the bottom.
Fish symbol on
When the FishFinder sees a fish, it can show this by displaying a fish symbol. When the fish symbol feature is turned off, the FishFinder indicates a fish as an arch- shaped line on the display. For more information, see the section on “Fish Indications.”
Transducer frequency
The transducer can use two frequencies - 50 kHz for wide coverage, or 200 kHz for a detailed view. You can also set
