Frequently Asked Questions
4.4 How can I restore the Fish Finder default operating parameters?
Simply select the CRUISE or the FISH preset. This will restore optimal
operating parameters for either cruising or fishing.
4.5 I’m using the Fish Finder in manual mode, how can I set the
parameters for optimal operation.
Setting operating parameters for optimal operation depends upon
environment conditions, user preference and intended usage of the Fish
Finder (e.g. fishing or cruising). A good starting point is to select a full auto
preset such as CRUISE or FISH and then, after waiting a while to allow the
echogram displayed to stabilize around the auto calculated parameters,
switch to the MANUAL preset mode. At this point it will be possible to fine
tune the operating parameters by slightly changing the auto calculated
parameters.
4.6 Can I always leave the Fish Finder in Full Auto/(auto gain and
auto range) mode?
Yes, but note that the full auto mode suits the 90% of the cases, however in
extreme situations the auto modes may fail and thus it is necessary to switch
to the Manual mode.
4.7 What are extreme situations in which auto modes may fail?
When the bottom is very deep, at high boat speed, when the bottom is very
shallow (< 5 feets), when the water is full of materials in suspension, or bad
sea conditions.
4.8 What should I do if the auto modes fail?
Failure of auto modes can happen for various reasons. You can find a range
of possibilities below.
4.8.1 Auto-range fails in very shallow waters displaying a digital
depth readout deeper than the actual value. What should I do?
This usually happens if the STC is set to LONG or MID and the bottom is
shallow or SHORT if the bottom is very shallow causing the auto-range to
hook to the second or third echo from the bottom (since in shallow waters the
sound bounces more times back and forth the surface to the bottom). Try
