1.6 Automatic Operation
How automatic operation works
The automatic function automatically
chooses the proper gain, range scale and
clutter. It works as follows:
The range changes automatically to
display the bottom echo on the screen.
The gain is automatically adjusted to
display the bottom echo in the darkest
tone.
Clutter (on the menu), which suppresses
low-level noise, is automatically adjusted.
Choosing automatic operation
The automatic mode provides two choices
of modes: cruising and fishing.
1. Press the [MENU/ESC] key to open the
menu.
2. Choose AUTO MODE from page 1 of
the menu.
3. Press to open the mode options
window.
4. Choose Cruising or Fishing as
appropriate.
“Cruising” is for tracking the bottom;
“Fishing” is for searching fish schools.
Since “Cruising” uses a higher clutter
rejection setting than fishing, it is not
recommended for fish detection - weak
fish echoes may not be displayed.
“Fishing” clearly displays weaker
echoes.
