The 100 SeriesTM Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object. Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal. SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar utilizes precision sound pulses or "pings" which are emitted into the water in a teardrop-shaped beam. The sound pulses "echo" back from objects in the water such as the bottom, fish and other submerged objects. The returned echoes are displayed on the LCD screen. Each time a new echo is received, the old echoes are moved across the LCD, creating a scrolling effect. When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret "graph" of the bottom, fish and structure appears. 1 The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to achieve greater depth capability. The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar transmitter. It is commonly measured using two methods: · Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over the entire transmit cycle. · Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest points. The benefits of increased power output are the ability to detect smaller targets at greater distances, ability to overcome noise, better high speed performance and enhanced depth capability. 2 Single Beam Sonar Your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System uses a 200 kHz Single Beam sonar system with a 20° area of coverage. The 20° beam is focused on the bottom, to show you structure, weeds and cover. How GPS and Cartography Work Your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System also supports GPS and chartplotting, and uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area. 3 GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present position is determined by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites. All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it. Based on time differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position. With once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing. The GPS Receiver included with your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System, allows you to combine easy-to-use FishingGPSTM chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding. The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 100 SeriesTM Fishing System: · · · · · View current position View current track (breadcrumb trail) View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver Save tracks, waypoints and routes Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next. Your unit also comes with a built-in Uni-MapTM with a more detailed map of North America (Domestic models) or a more detailed map of Europe and Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models). Your 100 SeriesTM uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information. 4 What's On the Display The 100 SeriesTM can display a variety of useful information about the area under and Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow. Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is attached, the 100 SeriesTM can display the speed of the boat, and can keep a Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled. Temperature - water surface temperature. Timer - elapsed time with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Distance - distance traveled with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Average Speed - average speed reading with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Bait Ball Hard Bottom Rocky Bottom Second Sonar Return - when the sonar signal bounces between the bottom and the surface of the water and back again. Use the appearance of the second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all. Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can depth of a sonar return and bottom depth Cursor Dialog Box - indicates cursor depth on Longitude of the cursor position is shown, be marked at the cursor position for later NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if either device information from the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view. 5 adjacent to your boat, including the following items: be positioned in the Sonar View to provide below the cursor. Structure - where fish may be hiding. 200 kHz, Narrow Beam Shaded Fish Symbol Thermoclines - layers of water with different temperatures that appear at different depths and different times of the year. A thermocline typically appears as a continuous band of many gray levels moving across the display at the same depth. Fish - fish are displayed as arches and/or fish icons, and the unit can be set to alarm when a fish of a certain size is detected. When a target is detected and Fish ID+TM is on, a Fish ID+TM symbol with depth is displayed. The size of the symbol shows the intensity of the sonar return. The unit will clearly show schools of Bait Fish as "clouds" of different shapes and sizes, depending on the number of fish and boat speed. Soft Bottom RTS® (Real Time Sonar) Window the display and the depth of the bottom directly below the cursor. In addition, the Latitude and the distance to travel to the cursor position and the bearing to the cursor position. A waypoint can retrieval and use. is connected to the 100 SeriesTM Fishing System. If both devices are connected, then only the 6 Views The views available on your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System are: Sonar views: · Sonar View · Zoom View · Big Digits View · Circular Flasher View. Navigation views: · Bird's Eye View · Chart View · Combo View. NOTE: When you change any menu settings that affect the sonar, the view will update immediately (i.e. you don't have to exit the menu to apply the change to the screen). For instance, by switching between "Inverse" and "Structure ID®" from the X-PressTM menu, it is possible to quickly alternate between the two viewing methods. Sonar View is the default view. When the VIEW key is pressed, the display cycles through the available views. When the EXIT key is pressed, the display cycles through the available views in reverse order. Any view can be hidden or displayed as part of the view rotation using the Views Menu tab. 7 Sonar View Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display to the left. A Digital Depth Readout is displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom. Depth Range is automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on the display, although you can adjust it manually as well (see Sonar X-PressTM Menu). Five additional Digital Readouts display information from optional-purchase accessories. These information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired (see Setup Menu Tab, Select Readouts). Sonar View Depth Upper Depth Range RTS® Window Temperature Triplog Sonar History Window Cursor Dialog Box Lower Depth Range Cursor NOTE: If the Depth number is flashing, it means that the unit is having trouble locating the bottom. This usually happens if the water is too deep, the transducer is out of the water, the boat is moving too fast, or for any other reason that the unit can't accurately receive continuous data. 8 Understanding Sonar History It is important to understand the significance of the 100 SeriesTM Fishing System display. The display does NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time. As both the boat and the targets (fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing a particular segment of time when objects were detected, not exactly where those objects are in relation to other objects shown on the display. Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window A Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only. The RTS® Window always updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS® Window plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return. (See Sonar Menu: RTS® Window) . The Narrow RTS® Window indicates the sonar intensity through the use of grayscale. The grayscale used matches the bottom view grayscale setting used in the sonar history window (i.e. Inverse, StructureID®, WhiteLine®, Bottom Black). The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale. The Wide RTS® Window indicates the sonar intensity through the use of a bar graph. The length of the plotted return provides an indication of whether the return is weak or strong. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale. The Wide RTS® Window does not make use of grayscale. 9 Freeze Frame Freeze Frame - Pressing any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key will freeze the screen and a cursor will be displayed on the screen. The cursor can be positioned on the display using the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to determine the depth of any sonar return. The RTS® Window continues to update in Freeze Frame. In addition, see the effects of menu setting changes with Instant Image Update. Pressing EXIT will exit Freeze Frame and the display will start to scroll. Freeze Frame is available in the Sonar and Sonar Zoom Views. Bottom Presentation As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance. Bottom Contour Profile with RTS® Window. Temp/Speed Accessory is optional. Hard Bottom Soft Bottom Rocky Bottom The sonar returns from the bottom, structure and fish can be represented as either Inverse (default), WhiteLine®, Structure ID®, or Bottom Black. See Sonar X-PressTM Menu: Bottom View for details on how to set the bottom view. 10 Inverse is a method where weak returns are shown with dark pixels and strong returns with lighter pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display. Structure ID® represents weak returns as light pixels and strong returns as dark pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that strong returns will be clearly visible on the display. WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns in white, resulting in a distinctive outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display. Bottom Black displays all pixels below the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal strength. This has the benefit of providing a high contrast between the bottom and other sonar returns on the display. Any targets such as fish, structure and thermoclines will be shown using the Structure ID® method. 11 Sonar Zoom View Sonar Zoom View increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom View, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the full range view on the right and the zoomed view on the left. The full range view on the right also contains the Zoom Preview Box that shows what part of the full range view is shown in zoom view on the left; the Zoom Preview Box tracks the bottom in the full range view. As the depth changes, the zoomed view updates automatically to display a magnified image of the bottom. The Zoom Preview Box shows where the zoomed view is in relation to the full range view. The Zoom Level, or magnification, is displayed in the lower left corner and can be changed to suit conditions (see Sonar X-PressTM Menu: Zoom Level). Upper and Lower Zoom Depth Range numbers indicate the depth of the water which is being viewed. Digital depth is displayed in the upper left hand corner. The digital readouts in the Sonar Zoom View cannot be customized; therefore, information such as water temperature and voltage are unavailable in the Sonar Zoom View.

Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature, speed and Triplog information are displayed automatically if the appropriate accessory is connected to the 100 SeriesTM Fishing System. The Triplog shows distance traveled, average speed, and time elapsed since the Triplog was last reset. The digital readouts in the Big Digits View cannot be customized. Big Digits View Depth Temperature Timer shows the time elapsed since Triplog was last reset Distance is the distance traveled since the Triplog was last reset Voltage - the battery voltage. Average Speed shows the speed since the Triplog was last reset Speed Circular Flasher View Circular Flasher View displays Real Time Sonar (RTS®) data in the traditional flasher format. Depth and temperature are always displayed. The digital readouts in the Flasher View cannot be customized. 13 Bird's Eye View Bird's Eye View - This view shows a 3-D, perspective view of the track and the chart's land contour from a point above and behind the boat (the eye point). As the boat turns, the eye point moves to follow the boat. When you press the 4-WAY Cursor key in the Bird's Eye View, the position of the eye point will shift. This allows you to move and turn the eye point so that you can look off to the sides, or even behind the boat. Pressing the RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys on the 4-WAY Cursor key turns the eye point right or left, while pressing the UP arrow key moves the eye point forward, and pressing the DOWN arrow key moves the eye point backward. Pressing the EXIT key moves the eye point back to its original position behind and above the boat. Bird's Eye View Depth Latitude and Longitude Position of Boat Land Contours Speed of Boat Boat Icon Water Surface Temperature Bearing of Boat with Respect to True North 14 Chart View Chart View - This view shows cartography from the built-in Uni-MapTM for the area surrounding your current position. The current track (also known as the position history or breadcrumb trail) showing where the boat has been, along with saved tracks, waypoints, and the current route (when navigating), are overlaid on the chart. You can use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to shift/pan the chart to another area. You can use the ZOOM (+/-) keys to zoom in and out. You can use the INFO key to get information on the chart objects near the cursor. Chart View without Active Cursor Depth Cartography Map Scale Speed Of Boat Water Surface Temperature Bearing of Boat with Respect to True North Chart View with Active Cursor Depth Cartography Map Scale Latitude and Longitude Position of Cursor Distance to the Cursor and Bearing to Cursor Active Cursor Bearing of Boat with Respect to True North 15 Combo View Combo View - This view is displayed as a split screen, with Chart View on the left and Sonar View on the right side of the screen. The width of the sonar window can be changed. Combo View Depth Sonar Window Map Scale Cartography Water Surface Temperature Speed of Boat Bearing of Boat with Respect to True North View Orientation Both Chart and Combo views allow you to choose the orientation of the view. When North-Up orientation is selected, True North is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects located to the north of the boat are drawn above the boat. When Course-Up orientation is selected, the direction of motion of the boat is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects ahead of the boat are drawn above the boat. In both orientations, the view pans automatically, so that the boat is always centered on the display. When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle. When the boat is in motion, it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the direction of motion (always Up in the Course-Up orientation). 16 Viewing Cartography In the Chart or Combo Views there are several cartography-related functions that you can access using various keys. Panning: Use the 4-WAY Cursor keys to move the chart around on the display in the direction of the key being pressed. When you do this, a bull's eye cursor is drawn at the center of the screen and is linked to the boat by a gray line, even if the boat is off the screen. At the same time, the temperature and speed boxes in the lower left corner are replaced with the distance and bearing from the boat to the cursor position and the latitude/longitude coordinates of the cursor. Chart View with Cursor Present Zooming: Use the Plus (+) key to Zoom In and the Minus (-) key to Zoom Out showing the cartography at different scales. The scale is indicated on the left side of the display. If you zoom in beyond the available chart data, the display will go into Overzoom mode whereby the last available chart data is amplified to reflect the scale selected. If you zoom in so far that no cartography is available, a lat/long grid will be drawn instead. Chart Info: Use the INFO key to get detailed information about the chart. If the cursor is active, you will see information about the chart objects located near the cursor. 17 Introduction to Navigation Use the 100 SeriesTM Fishing System to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those waypoints via a savable route (representing the shortest intended distance between waypoints). You can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat. Waypoints, Routes and Tracks Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System can store up to 2000 waypoints. Waypoints, Routes and Tracks Depth BRG: Bearing to Waypoint Waypoint XTE: Cross Track Error. Distance of Boat from Route Route DTG: Distance to Go to Waypoint Water Surface Temperature Track Bearing of Boat with Respect to True North Speed of Boat Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the GOTO key. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up to 50 waypoints. Tracks consist of detailed position history, and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up (maximum of 20,000 trackpoints displayed). You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System can store up to 25 saved tracks, each containing 20,000 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual path so far. 18 Save, Edit, or Delete a Waypoint Save your current position as a waypoint: On any view, press the MARK key to save the current position of the boat as a waypoint.

NOTE: Menu choices are implemented and saved immediately - no further action is required. · In all Sonar views but the Big Digits view, pressing any 4-WAY Cursor Control key will activate Freeze Frame and will then allow you to position the cursor on the display. 25 MARK Key Press the MARK key while in any view to mark the position of a waypoint, either at the current boat location, or, if the Cursor is active, at the current Cursor location. GOTO Key If the Cursor is active, pressing the GOTO key while in any view creates a waypoint and starts navigation towards that waypoint. If the Cursor is not active, pressing the GOTO key displays the list of waypoints, so that you can select the waypoint towards which you want to navigate. ZOOM (+/-) Key Press the - or + ZOOM keys while in any of the Navigation Views or the Sonar Zoom View to change the scale of the view to appear closer or farther away. EXIT Key The EXIT key has multiple functions, depending on the situation: · If an alarm is sounding, pressing EXIT will cancel the alarm. · If a menu tab is selected, pressing EXIT will exit the menu mode and return to the view. · If a menu is active, pressing EXIT will return to the previous level in the menu system. · Pressing EXIT will cycle through the available views in reverse order. · If Freeze Frame is active, pressing EXIT will return to a scrolling display. · If the Cursor is active, pressing EXIT will remove the cursor from the display. 26 Powering Up the Unit Turn on your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System by pressing the POWER/LIGHT key. The Title screen is displayed until the 100 SeriesTM Fishing System begins operation. Your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System will begin Normal or Simulator operation, depending on the presence or absence of a transducer. 161 Title Screen The Menu System The menu system is divided into easy-to-use menu modules. The main components of the menu system are: Start-Up Options Menu - Press the MENU key during the power up sequence to view the Start-Up Options menu. X-PressTM Menu - The X-PressTM menu allows you to access the settings that are changed frequently without having to navigate through the whole menu system. Press the MENU key once to display the X-PressTM Menu. When you select a menu item from the X-PressTM menu, the menu will collapse, leaving only the menu choice on the screen. Use the Up or Down Cursor keys to reactivate the X-PressTM menu. X-PressTM Menu NOTE: The X-PressTM Menu choices will vary depending on which view is active when you press the MENU key, as well as whether you are in Normal or Advanced User Mode. Either the Sonar or Navigation X-PressTM Menu will appear, depending on the view you are in. Main Menu Tabs - Less frequently-adjusted menus are grouped into the Main Menu System. The Main Menu system is organized under the following tab headings to help you find a specific menu item quickly: Alarms, Sonar, Navigation, Chart, Setup, and Views. 27 Main Menu System Normal User Mode Press the MENU key twice for the Main Menu, then use the 4-WAY Cursor LEFT or RIGHT key to select a tab, and use the DOWN or UP key to select a specific menu item under that tab, then use the LEFT or RIGHT keys again to change a menu setting. Press the EXIT key to move quickly to the top of the tab. A down arrow at the bottom of a menu means that you can scroll to additional menu choices using the DOWN Cursor key. A right or left arrow on a menu choice means that you can use the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to make changes or to see more information. NOTE: The Main Menu choices will vary depending on whether you are in Normal or Advanced User Mode. User Mode (Normal or Advanced) - An Advanced Mode is provided for users who desire the highest level of control over the 100 SeriesTM Fishing System and Normal Mode for users who desire greater simplicity and fewer menu choices. Additional Advanced menu choices will be displayed throughout the menu system when you navigate to specific menus while in Advanced Mode. Any changes made while in Advanced Mode will remain in effect after you switch back to Normal Mode. See Setup Menu Tab: User Mode for specific instructions on changing to Advanced User Mode. Sonar Tab Normal Mode Sonar Tab Advanced Mode Total Screen Update - when you change any menu settings that affect the Sonar View, the view will update immediately (i.e. you don't have to exit the menu to apply the change to the screen). For instance, by switching between "Inverse" and "Structure ID®" from the X-PressTM menu it is possible to alternate quickly between the two viewing methods. 28 Start-Up Options Menu Press the MENU key when the Title screen is displayed to access the Start-Up Options menu. Use the UP or DOWN 4-WAY Cursor keys to position the cursor, then the RIGHT Cursor key to select one of the following choices. If you wait too long, the system will default to whichever menu mode happens to be highlighted: Start-Up Options Menu · Normal · Simulator · System Status. See the following paragraphs for more information about each of these choices. Normal Operation Use Normal operation for on the water operation with a transducer connected. In addition, your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System uses advanced transducer detection methods to determine if a transducer is connected. If a functioning transducer is connected, Normal operation will be selected automatically at power up and your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System can be used on the water. Exit Normal operation by powering your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System off. 29 Simulator Use the Simulator to learn how to use your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System before taking your boat on the water. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on the water operation, providing a randomly-updated display. We recommend going through this manual while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function and affect the display the way they actually do when in Normal operation. Simulator NOTE: To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important to select Simulator manually from the Start-Up Options menu as opposed to letting the 100 SeriesTM Fishing System enter Simulator automatically (as it will if a transducer is not connected and you do nothing during power up). Manually selecting Simulator from the Start-Up Options menu allows you to preconfigure your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System for on the water operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use. A message will appear on the display periodically to remind you that you are using the Simulator. Exit the Simulator by powering your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System off. System Status Use System Status to view system connections and to conduct a unit self-test. The following screens are displayed in turn when you press the VIEW button when using System Status: · Self Test · Accessory Test · GPS Diagnostic View. Exit System Status by powering your Fishing System off. 30 Self Test Self Test displays results from the internal diagnostic self test, including unit serial number, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) serial number, software revision, total hours of operation and the input voltage. System Status Self Test Screen Accessory Test Accessory Test lists the accessories connected to the system. NOTE: The speed accessory will be detected only if the paddlewheel has moved since your 100 SeriesTM Fishing System was powered up. System Status Accessory Test Screen 31 GPS Diagnostic View GPS Diagnostic View shows a sky chart and numerical data from the GPS receiver. The sky chart shows the location of each visible GPS satellite with its satellite number and a signal strength bar. A dark grey bar indicates that the satellite is being used to determine your current position. A light gray bar indicates that the satellite is being monitored, but is not yet being used. GPS Diagnostic View Sky Chart Satellite Being Used Satellite Being Monitored Current Latitude and Longitude This view also reports the current position, local time and date, and other numeric information. The current GPS Fix Type is reported as No Fix, 2D Fix, 3D Fix, or Enhanced. An Enhanced fix has been augmented using information from WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS. A 3D or Enhanced Fix is required for navigation. HDOP (the Horizontal Dilution of Precision) is a GPS system parameter which depends on the current satellite configuration. HDOP is used to calculate the Estimated Position Error. 32 Sonar X-PressTM Menu (Sonar views only) The Sonar X-PressTM menu provides access to the settings most frequently-used. Press the MENU key once while in any of the Sonar Views to access the Sonar X-PressTM menu. NOTE: Menu choices will vary depending on system settings such as whether the unit is set for Advanced User mode. Sonar X-PressTM Menu 33 Sensitivity Sensitivity controls how much detail is shown on the display and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar frequencies. Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar returns from small baitfish and suspended debris in the water; however, the display may become too cluttered. When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity shows weaker returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish. Sensitivity at Low Sensitivity at Medium Sensitivity at High To adjust the Sensitivity: 1. Highlight Sensitivity on the Sonar X-PressTM menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Sensitivity setting. (Low = 1, High = 20, Default = 10) 34 Upper Range (Advanced: Sonar, Split Sonar, Big Digits and Circular Flasher views only) Upper Range sets the shallowest depth range that will be displayed on the Sonar, Split Sonar, Big Digits and Circular Flasher Views. The Upper Range menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode) and can only be accessed from the Sonar, Big Digits and Circular Flasher Views. Upper Range is often used with Lower Range. For example, if you are only interested in the area between 20 and 50 feet deep, you should set the Upper Depth Range to 20 and the Lower Depth Range to 50. The Sonar View will then show the 30 foot area between 20 and 50, and will not show the surface or the bottom (assuming the bottom is deeper than 50 feet), and will show greater detail for that area between 20 and 50 feet. NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered. To adjust the Upper Range: 1. Make sure you are in Advanced Mode, then highlight Upper Range on the Sonar X-PressTM menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Upper Range setting. (0 to 590 feet or 0 to 237 meters [International Models only], Default = 0) 35 Lower Range Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be displayed. Automatic is the default setting. When in automatic mode, the lower range will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom. Selecting a specific setting locks the depth range into Manual mode. Use both Upper and Lower Range together to view a specific depth range manually when looking for fish or bottom structure. M will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen when you start manually adjusting the Lower Range to indicate that you are in Manual mode. For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower Depth Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range, allowing you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display went all the way to the bottom. NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered. To adjust the Lower Range: 1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-PressTM menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Lower Range setting. (AUTO, 10 to 600 feet, 3 to 240 meters [International Models only], Default = AUTO) 36 Chart Speed Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster speed shows more information in the Sonar Views and is preferred by most anglers; however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of the Chart Speed setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum rate possible for the depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference. To adjust the Chart Speed: 1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-PressTM menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Chart Speed setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest, Default = 5) Bottom View Bottom View selects the method used to represent bottom and structure on the display. Inverse represents weak returns as dark pixels and strong returns as lighter pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display. Structure ID® represents weak returns as light pixels and strong returns as dark pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that strong returns will be clearly visible on the display. WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns in white resulting in a distinctive outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display. Bottom Black displays all pixels below the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal strength. This has the benefit of providing a high contrast between the bottom and other sonar returns on the display. Any targets such as fish, structure and thermoclines will be shown using the Structure ID® method. See Bottom Presentation for more information. To adjust the Bottom View: 1. Highlight Bottom View on the Sonar X-PressTM Menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Bottom View setting. (Inverse, Structure ID®, WhiteLine®, Bottom Black, Default = Inverse) 37 Bottom Range (Sonar Zoom view only when Bottom Lock is On) Bottom Range allows you to control how much of the water column, measured up from the bottom, is shown in the Sonar Zoom View. Choose a small value to see lowlying bottom structure or details of the bottom return. Choose a larger value to see large structure in deeper water. It is possible to set the Bottom Range to be greater than the depth. In this case, you may see surface clutter in a wavy band that mirrors changes in the depth. To adjust the Bottom Range: 1. In the Sonar Zoom View, highlight Bottom Range on the Sonar X-PressTM menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Bottom Range setting. (10 - 60 feet or 3-20 meters [International Models only], Default = 15 feet) Bottom Lock (Sonar Zoom view only) Bottom Lock changes the mode of the Zoomed view in the Sonar Zoom View. Bottom Lock continuously graphs the bottom at a constant point on the display regardless of changes in depth. This "flattens" out the bottom contour, but is effective at showing fish on or near the bottom. To turn on Bottom Lock: 1. In the Sonar Zoom View, highlight Bottom Lock on the Sonar X-PressTM Menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Bottom Lock setting to on. (Off, On, Default = Off) 38 Cancel Navigation (only when Navigating) Cancel Navigation discards the current route and exits Navigation Mode. This menu choice will only appear when you are currently navigating a route. This will not delete a previously-saved route. To Cancel Navigation: 1. Highlight Cancel Navigation on the Sonar X-PressTM menu. 2. Use the RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control key to initiate canceling navigation. 3. The Confirm dialog box will appear. To cancel navigation, press the RIGHT Cursor key once more. To avoid canceling navigation, press the LEFT Cursor key. 4. The Save Current Route dialog box will appear. Use the RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor key to save the route or the LEFT 4-WAY Cursor key to decline saving the route. 39 Navigation X-PressTM Menu (Navigation views only) The Navigation X-PressTM menu provides access to the settings most frequently used. Press the MENU key once while in the Bird's Eye View, the Chart or the Combo View to access the Navigation X-PressTM menu. NOTE: Menu choices will vary depending on system settings, such as whether you are currently navigating. Navigation X-PressTM Menu 40 Waypoint [Name] (Only with an active cursor on a waypoint) Waypoint [Name] allows you to view the Waypoints submenu for the waypoint under your cursor. To view the Waypoint [Name] Submenu: 1. Move the cursor onto an existing waypoint and press the MENU key once, or use Cursor to Waypoint to select a waypoint from a list of saved waypoints. 2. Highlight Waypoint[Name] on the Navigation X-PressTM menu. 3.
