The 300 SeriesTM Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 300 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 teardropshaped 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. 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. 1 2 531444-1_A - 323_Man_English.qxd 11/5/2005 12:33 PM Page 8 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. DualBeam PLUSTM Sonar Your 300 SeriesTM Fishing System uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUSTM sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUSTM sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center beam, surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to an area equal to your depth. In 20 feet of water, the wider beam covers an area 20 feet wide. The 20° center beam is focused on the bottom, to show you structure, weeds and cover. The 60° wide beam is hunting for fish in the wide coverage area. DualBeam PLUSTM sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately or compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUSTM is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation. 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. 3 4 531444-1_A - 323_Man_English.qxd 11/5/2005 12:33 PM Page 10 What's On the Display The 300 SeriesTM Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about the area under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items: Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow. Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory is attached, the 300 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. Distance - distance traveled with Temp/Speed Accessory. Average Speed - average speed reading with Temp/Speed Accessory. Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can depth of a sonar return and bottom depth be positioned in the Sonar View to provide below the cursor. 83 kHz, Wide Beam Hollow Fish Symbol Structure - where fish may be hiding. Do Not print this page 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+ is on, 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. 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. Soft Bottom RTS® (Real Time Sonar) Window Cursor Dialog Box - indicates cursor depth directly below the cursor. on the display and the depth of the bottom Battery Voltage - the voltage of the boat's battery; can be set to alarm if the voltage falls below a certain point. NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed) are available if this device is connected to the 300 SeriesTM Fishing System. 5 6 531444-1_A - 323_Man_English.qxd 11/5/2005 12:33 PM Page 12 What's On the Display The 300 SeriesTM Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about the area under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items: 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 300 SeriesTM can display the speed of the boat, and can keep a Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled. Temperature - water Timer - elapsed time with Temp/Speed Distance - distance traveled with Average Speed average speed reading Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can depth of a sonar return and bottom depth be positioned in the Sonar View to provide below the cursor. 83 kHz, Wide Beam Hollow Fish Symbol Structure - where fish may be hiding. 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+ 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. 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.

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 Temperature Triplog Cursor Sonar History Window Upper Depth Range RTS® Window 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. 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. Cursor Dialog Box Lower Depth Range 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. 7 8 531444-1_A - 323_Man_English.qxd 11/5/2005 12:33 PM Page 16 Understanding Sonar History It is important to understand the significance of the 300 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, Structure ID®, 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. 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 Sonar, Sonar Zoom and 200/83 kHz Split Sonar Views. 9 10 531444-1_A - 323_Man_English.qxd 11/5/2005 12:33 PM Page 18 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. 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. Hard Bottom Soft Bottom Rocky Bottom 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. 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. 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 12 531444-1_A - 323_Man_English.qxd 11/5/2005 12:33 PM Page 20 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. Sonar Zoom View Depth Upper Depth Range, Full Range View Upper Depth Range, Zoom View Full Range View 200/83 kHz Split Sonar View Split Sonar View displays sonar returns from the 83 kHz wide beam on the left side of the screen and displays sonar returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam on the right side of the screen. Depth is always displayed in the upper left hand corner. You can use the Split Sonar View to make side by side comparisons between the sonar returns from the 83 kHz wide beam and the 200 kHz narrow beam. The digital readouts in the Split Sonar View cannot be customized; therefore, information such as water temperature and voltage are unavailable in the Split Sonar View. 200/83 kHz Split Sonar View Depth Upper Depth Range 83 kHz Sonar History Window 200 kHz Sonar History Window Lower Depth Range Zoom Preview Box Zoomed View Zoom Level Lower Depth Range, Full Range View Lower Depth Range, Zoom View 13 14 531444-1_A - 323_Man_English.qxd 11/5/2005 12:33 PM Page 22 Big Digits View Big Digits View provides digital data in a large, easy-to-see format. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature, speed and Triplog information are displayed automatically if the appropriate accessory is connected to the 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 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. Speed Average Speed shows the speed since the Triplog was last reset Key Functions Your 300 SeriesTM Fishing System user interface consists of a set of easy-to-use keys that work with various on-screen views and menus to give you flexibility and control over your fishing experience.

If you wait too long, the system will default to whichever menu mode happens to be highlighted: · Normal · Simulator · System Status. Start-Up Options Menu Simulator Use the Simulator to learn how to use your 300 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. 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 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 300 SeriesTM Fishing System for on the water operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use. See the following paragraphs for more information about each of these choices. A message will appear on the display periodically to remind you that you are using the Simulator. Exit the Simulator by powering your Fishing System off. Normal Operation Use Normal operation for on the water operation with a transducer connected. In addition, your 300 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 Fishing System can be used on the water. Exit Normal operation by powering your Fishing System off.

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. NOTE: The Sensitivity setting is a global setting and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar frequencies, as compared to specific sensitivity adjustments (such as 83 kHz Sensitivity) which allow you to adjust the level of sensitivity for one specific beam. 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, Split 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. 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) 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Upper Range setting. (0 to 990 feet or 0 to 327 meters [International Models Only], Default = 0) 25 26 531444-1_A - 323_Man_English.qxd 11/5/2005 12:33 PM Page 34 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. 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 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 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 1000 feet, 3 to 330 meters [International Models Only], Default = AUTO) 27 28 531444-1_A - 323_Man_English.qxd 11/5/2005 12:33 PM Page 36 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) Bottom Range (Sonar Zoom View only, when Bottom Lock is On) Zoom Level (Sonar Zoom View only) Zoom Level sets the magnification level for the Sonar Zoom View, and is only available on the X-PressTM Menu when the Sonar Zoom View is active. Use Zoom to increase the display resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together. To adjust the Zoom Level: 1. Highlight Zoom Level on the Sonar X-PressTM Menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Zoom Level setting for the Sonar Zoom View. (2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, Default = 2x) NOTE: The Zoom Preview Box tracks the bottom and cannot be moved by the user. 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 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). 3. Once you turn on Bottom Lock, the Bottom Range X-PressTM menu choice will be displayed. (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.

NOTE: Menu choices will vary depending on system settings such as whether the unit is set for Advanced User mode or what transducer is currently selected. Beam Select Beam Select sets which sonar returns from the transducer will be displayed on the screen. When set to 200/83 kHz, the returns from both beams are blended by starting with the 83 kHz wide beam return, dimming it, and then overlaying it with the 200 kHz narrow beam return. The darker 200 kHz narrow beam sonar returns will stand out from the paler 83 kHz wide beam sonar returns. The Split Sonar View continues to display the sonar returns from each beam in their respective windows. The blended information is shown in the Sonar View, Sonar Zoom View and the Big Digits View. The RTS® Window in the Sonar View and the Circular Flasher View will only show the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam. When set to 200 kHz, only the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam will be displayed in the Sonar View, the Sonar View, the Sonar Zoom View, the Big Digits View and the Circular Flasher View. The Split Sonar View will continue to display returns from both beams in their respective windows. The RTS® Window in the Sonar View will display the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam. When set to 83 kHz, the returns from the 83 kHz wide beam will be displayed in the Sonar View, the Sonar Zoom View, the Big Digits View and the Circular Flasher View. The Split Sonar View will continue to display returns from both beams in their respective windows. The RTS® Window will display the returns from the 83 kHz wide beam. To use Beam Select: 1. Highlight Beam Select on the Sonar main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to select either the 200 kHz beam, the 83 kHz beam or the 200/83 kHz beams. (200/83 kHz, 200 kHz, 83 kHz, Default = 200 kHz) Sonar Menu 31 32 531444-1_A - 323_Man_English.qxd 11/5/2005 12:33 PM Page 40 Fish ID+TM Fish ID+ uses advanced signal processing to interpret sonar returns, and will display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. When a fish is detected, a fish icon and its depth are displayed above the return that has been classified as being a fish. Three different fish size icons represent the intensity of the sonar return, and provide an indicator of relative fish size. Targets detected in the 200 kHz narrow beam are represented as Shaded Fish Symbols, and targets detected in the 83 kHz wide beam are represented as Hollow Fish Symbols. TM Fish ID Sensitivity Fish ID Sensitivity adjusts the threshold of the Fish ID+TM detection algorithms. Selecting a higher setting allows weaker returns to be displayed as fish. This is useful for identifying smaller fish species or baitfish. Selecting a lower setting displays fewer fish from weak sonar returns. This is helpful when seeking larger species of fish. Fish ID Sensitivity is used in conjunction with Fish ID+TM. Fish ID+TM must be On for Fish ID Sensitivity to affect the ability of the Fishing System to identify sonar returns as fish. To change the Fish ID Sensitivity setting: 1. Highlight Fish ID Sensitivity on the Sonar main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Fish ID Sensitivity setting. (Low = 1, High = 10, Default = 5) 200 kHz, Narrow Beam Shaded Fish Symbols 83 kHz, Wide Beam Hollow Fish Symbols Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window RTS® Window sets the RTS® Window to either Wide or Narrow, or turns it off in the Sonar View. The RTS® Window always updates at the fastest rate possible and only displays returns that are within the transducer beam. (See Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window for additional detail). Transducer Cone and Fish Arches When Fish ID+ is turned off, the Fishing System shows only the raw sonar returns on the display. These returns will often result in "arches" forming on the display, indicating potential targets. Due to the transducer beam angle, the distance to a fish decreases as the fish moves into the beam, and then increases as it moves out again, creating a Fish Arch when this distance change is shown on the display. Boat speed, chart speed, and the position of the fish within the sonar beam greatly affect the shape of the arch. To turn Fish ID+ on or off: 1. Highlight Fish ID+ on the Sonar main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to turn the Fish ID+TM setting On or Off.

The Depth Lines menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode). Depth Lines 83 kHz Sensitivity (Advanced) Depth Lines 83 kHz Sensitivity changes the sensitivity of the 83 kHz beam. Increasing the 83 kHz Sensitivity will display additional weak returns and decreasing the 83 kHz Sensitivity will display fewer weak returns. The 83 kHz Sensitivity menu choice is only available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode). NOTE: 83 kHz Sensitivity is particularly useful for adjusting the sensitivity of the 83 kHz sonar returns in the 200/83 kHz Split Sonar View. The 83 kHz sensitivity can be adjusted without affecting the sensitivity of the 200 kHz returns shown in the 200 kHz sonar window. To change the Depth Lines setting: 1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Depth Lines on the Sonar main menu. 2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to turn the Depth Lines setting On or Off.
