Noise Filter
(Advanced)
Settings: Off, Low, Medium, High 1, High 2, High 3;
Default = Low
Noise Filter adjusts the sonar Noise Filter to limit interference on the display
from sources such as your boat engine, turbulence, or other sonar devices.
The Off setting removes all filtering. Low, Medium, and High 1, High 2, High 3
settings add progressive filtering of the sonar returns. High 1, High 2, and
High 3 are useful when there is excessive trolling motor noise, but in some
deep water situations, the High settings may actually hinder your unit’s ability
to find the bottom.
Max Depth
(Advanced)
Settings: Auto to 1500 feet, Auto to 500 meters
(International Models only); Default = Auto
Max Depth controls the maximum depth of operation. When Max Depth is set
to Auto, the Fishfinder will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the
capacity of the unit). When Max Depth is set to match your fishing maximum
depth, your Fishfinder will not attempt to acquire sonar data below that depth,
so more detail will be shown on the screen.
NOTE: If the bottom is deeper than the Max Depth setting, the digital depth
readout will flash, indicating that the Fishfinder cannot locate the bottom.
Water Type
(Advanced)
Settings: Fresh, Salt (shallow), Salt (deep); Default = Fresh
Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. In salt
water, you can also choose the shallow or deep setting.
Water Type affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings. In salt water,
what would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a
large fish in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The
salt water setting allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account
for this difference.
