Normally, the range is set so that the bottom is traced at the lower part of the screen (like
an echo sounder). Each time the [RANGE] control is operated the newly chosen range
briefly appears in large characters at the screen top. Range is always displayed at the top
right-hand corner of the screen.
Note 1: Unit of range measurement may be chosen from among meters, feet, fathoms,
passi/braza and Hiro (Japanese), with UNIT on the SYSTEM SETTING 1 menu.
For further details, see UNIT in paragraph 5.4.2.
Note 2: Ranges may be freely preset as desired. For further details, see paragraph 5.4.4.
