suspended objects are detected by the Fish I.D. feature. Fish I.D.
must be turned on for the Fish Alarm to work. A different tone sounds

1. From the Sonar Alarms menu, press to FISH ALARM|ENT. Press EXIT
repeatedly to get back to the main page display.
Calibrate Speed
The speed sensor can be calibrated to compensate for inaccuracies. Be-
fore you change the setting, first calculate the percentage that the
speed is off. You will enter this percentage in a moment.
For example, if you figure the sensor is reading 10 percent faster than
actual speed, you will enter – 10 in the calibration window. If the sen-
sor is reading 5 percent slower than true speed, you will enter + 5 in
the window.
A good way to gauge your speed sensor's performance is to compare its
reading with the ground speed measured by your unit's GPS functions.
When you make a run to compare GPS ground speed to speed sensor
speed, perform your test in relatively calm water free of current, if pos-
sible. Unless, you are taking the current speed into consideration when
making your calculation. After you have a correction figure, you are
ready to calibrate the speed sensor.
