Sonar Menu
Accesses features ranging from Auto Sensitivity and Depth
Range to Frequency and Stop Sonar.
From the Sonar Page, press MENU to access the Sonar
Menu.
Sensitivity
Controls the level of detail shown on the display. Increasing Sensitivity will show
more detail on the screen; decreasing Sensitivity displays less. Too much detail will
clutter the screen. Conversely, desired echoes may not be displayed if Sensitivity is
set too low.
Auto Sensitivity
Keeps sensitivity at a level that works well under
most conditions, reducing the need for adjustments.
You can make minor changes to sensitivity withAuto
Sensitivity turned on, but you will have to turn it off
to make significant adjustments.
Auto Sensitivity can be turned on/off by selecting Auto Sensitivity from the Sonar
menu and pressing ENTER.
NOTE: By default, Sensitivity is set to auto mode. You may
have to turn off Auto Sensitivity to set sensitivity to a desired
level. Auto Sensitivity is covered in more detail later in this
section.

Sonar
Colorline
Distinguishes strong sonar echoes from
weak sonar echoes. That makes it easier for
you to distinguish fish or structure from the
bottom.
A hard return will be shown as a wide, bright
yellow line, whereas a soft return will be a
narrow reddish-blue line.
Range
Used to select the section of the water column —
from surface to bottom — shown on the display.
When there is a portion of the water column you
want to focus on, select a range from the Depth
Range menu that includes the desired area.
The values on the Range menu determine the depth
shown on the display. If you selected 20m from the
range menu the unit will display 0-20m of the water
column, regardless of the water depth. There are
21 depth ranges, including automatic and custom
settings. The automatic setting will set the range from the water surface to water
depth.
Frequency
This unit supports three transducer frequencies; two of which are supported by your
transducer. 200 kHz has the highest sensitivity and best target discrimination in
shallower water; 83 kHz offers a wider cone angle for greater water coverage and
50 kHz provides the best depth penetration. You can view both available frequencies
at the same time by setting up a sonar split screen.
Split
Adjusts the configuration of sonar page display using one of four options: No Split,
Zoom, Bottom Lock and Flasher.

Stop Sonar
Pauses the sonar chart, allowing you to get a closer look at sonar echoes.

Sensitivity and Colorline can also be adjusted from the Sonar menu by using the
Adjust command.

Custom — Upper and Lower Limits
Controls not only the depth range (lower limit), but
also lets you choose the upper limit. So, instead of
a selecting a range that includes the water surface,
you can choose upper and lower limits anywhere
along the water column.
To set Upper and Lower Limits:
1. Select Range and press ENTER.
2. Highlight Custom and press ENTER.
The Upper and Lower Limit window
will appear.
3. 
Select the Upper or Lower Limit dialog box. Press ENTER. The
numerical keypad will appear.
4. 
Use the keypad to enter the desired value in the corresponding
upper or lower limit dialog box. Press ENTER.
5. 
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to input the desired limit in the other dialog
box.
Ping Speed
Ping Speed controls the rate the transducer uses to
send sonar waves into the water. A higher ping speed
will yield the best results when you are moving across
the water at a high rate of speed or fishing from a dock. The reverberation of too
much ping speed can cause interference on the screen.
When using two units on your boat, lowering the ping speed of one of the units will
prevent interference (cross-talk) caused by one transducer detecting pings from the
other transducer. The default setting is suitable for most conditions. Highlight Ping
Speed on the Sonar menu and press the keypad left/right to make adjustments.
Sonar Options
Adjusts display settings and the configuration of the display.
The Sonar Options menu allows you to split the screen
between two sonar views, change the color of the display,
use Fish ID and add graphical elements to screen that will
enhance your sonar experience.
To access the Sonar Options menu, select Sonar Options
from the sonar menu and press ENTER.
Upper limit is 15’ (4.5m); lower
limit is 65’ (19m).

Amplitude Scope
Allows you to see the amplitude of real-time echoes as they appear
on the display. The Amplitude Scope displays live returns even when
you are viewing your sonar history. To turn off the Scope, highlight
Amplitude scope on the Sonar Options menu and press ENTER.
Zoom Bars
When your unit is in Split Zoom mode, zoom bars show which echoes will be
displayed on the screen when the display is zoomed in to a particular zoom range.
Only echoes shown between the top and bottom of a zoom bar will be displayed at
that selected zoom range.
To turn on/off Zoom Bars, highlight Zoom Bars on the Sonar Options menu and

Fish ID
Displays fish echoes as fish symbols instead of
fish arches with or without depth. This makes
it easier to recognize fish on the sonar display.
Symbols — places a fish symbol where a
fish is detected.
Depths — places depths above each fish
detected; helps gauge the distance from each
fish symbol to the boat.
Both — turns on both Symbols and Depths.

Routes
Routes make it easier to plan trips to desired destinations and backtrack to a previous
location.Aroute is a series of waypoints linked together to mark a course of travel.A
route must have at least two waypoints. The route segment between two waypoints
is called a leg. A route gives you the ability to navigate to several waypoints in
an ordered sequence without having to manually select the next waypoint in the
series.

Trails
A trail is a record of the path you have traveled. Trails not only show you where you
have been, they can be used to retrace your path back to your starting point. On the
Chart page a trail is presented by a solid line extending from the back of the current
position icon.
From the factory, the unit is automatically set to create and record a trail when the
unit is turned on and you are navigating. The unit will continue to record a trail until
the trail length reaches the maximum trail point setting.
When the unit reaches the maximum trail point number it will automatically begin
recording the trail over itself. By default, the unit places a dot (trail point) on the
Chart page every time you change course.
