to select [Fishing] or [Cruising].
[Fishing]: This mode clearly displays
weaker echoes and is useful for search-
ing schools of fish. "G:AF" is shown at the
top left corner on the screen.
[Cruising]: This mode clearly displays
stronger echoes (for example, bottom)
and suppresses weak echoes. Use this
mode for general cruising. "G:AC" is
shown at the top left corner on the screen.

display shows, "G:X.X" (X.X=gain setting)
when manual gain is active.

To apply no offset, go to step 4. For [Off],

apply an offset. Press W to decrease the
offset; X to raise the offset.

control to set the gain (0.0 to 10).
