be displayed steadily notwithstanding the adjustment of
the control panel, you may adjust the bottom echo level.
To adjust the bottom level setting, see section 2.2.
Note: Do not switch transducer (frequency) at the
Junction Box when setting the bottom level. If it is nec-
essary to set bottom level for a different frequency, turn
off the FE-800, switch transducer at Junction Box and
then turn on the FE-800 again.
