TVG
(50 kHz, 200
kHz)
TVG (Time Varied Gain)
compensates for propagation
attenuation of the ultrasonic
waves. It does this by equalizing
echo presentation so that fish
schools of the same size appear in
the same density in both shallow
and deep waters. In addition, it
reduces surface noise. Note that if
the TVG level is set too high short
range echoes may not be
displayed.
0-9
3 (both 50 kHz
and 200 kHz)
Echo Offset
(50 kHz, 200
kHz)
If the on-screen echo level
appears to be too weak or too
strong and the level cannot be
adjusted satisfactorily with the gain
control, adjust echo offset to
compensate for too weak or too
strong echoes.
-50 - +50
0 (both 50 kHz
and 200 kHz)
Bottom Level
(50 kHz,
200 kHz)
If the depth indication is unstable
in automatic operation or the
bottom echo cannot be displayed
in reddish-brown by adjusting the
gain control in manual operation,
you may adjust the bottom echo
level detection circuit, for both 50
kHz and 200 kHz, to stabilize the
indication. Note that if the level is
set too low weak echoes may be
missed and if set too high the
depth indication will not be
displayed.

and 200 kHz)
