NOTE:
For some great practice, try running the Sonar Simulator and the
GPS Simulator at the same time. This will really give you a feel for
how the unit will work in the field.
NOTE:
If you turn on your unit before attaching a transducer, it may enter a
demo mode. The words demo mode flash on the bottom of the screen
and a sonar chart plays much like the simulator. Unlike the simula-
tor, the demo mode is for demonstration only, and will automatically
stop as soon as you turn on the unit with a transducer attached. The
simulator will continue to function normally.
Stop Chart
If you are running multiple units on a boat or using this unit in a car,
there are times when you may want to turn off the sonar. This com-
mand turns off the sonar and stops the chart from scrolling. Sonar re-
starts automatically each time you turn on your unit.
