Figure 17.8 - Range menu

17.8.0 Range Mode

Selects among Manual, Auto Range and Bottom Lock.

17.8.0.0Manual Mode

Used to set the depth Range (from the surface) the Fish Finder display will show.

17.8.0.1Auto Range

The Fish Finder determines automatically the Range as to keep the bottom visible in the lower bottom of the screen. In this mode, Shift is always set to 0.

17.8.0.2Bottom Lock

The Bottom Lock function keeps the screen display locked onto a certain Range around the bottom. Let’s say the bottom is 400Ft and the Bottom Lock Range is set to display 30Ft around the bottom, the screen (instead of displaying from 0Ft to e.g. 450Ft) will display only a Range of 30Ft around the bottom, e.g. from 380Ft to 410Ft.

17.8.1 Depth

Moves the display from showing the bottom to the depth value entered.

17.8.2 Shift

Shifts the display from the bottom of the transducer to the depth value entered. Example: Your vessel is in about 57Ft of water, however there is fish suspended in 35Ft

of water. You want to display to 10Ft area around the fish. Shift would be set to 25Ft and Depth would be set to 35Ft shown in example below.
