Fish ID+™
Fish ID+™ uses advanced signal processing to interpret
sonar returns, and will display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met.
When a fish is detected, a fish icon and its depth are displayed above the return that has
been classified as being a fish. Fish symbols come in three different sizes to indicate
the intensity of the return; in addition, there is a unique symbol set associated with
each of the six beams, for a total of 18 possible fish symbols which can be displayed. The
following graphic illustrates the different Fish ID+™ symbols and shows the beams with
which they are associated. For instance, a hollow fish facing left indicates it was
detected in the far left beam and a hollow fish facing right indicates it was detected in
the far right beam.
When Fish ID+™ is turned off, the Fishing System shows only the raw sonar returns on
the display.
T
o set Fish ID+™:
1. Highlight Fish ID+ on the Sonar main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Fish ID+ setting.
(Off, Symbol Only, Symbol+Depth, Default = Symbol+Depth)
Fish Sensitivity
Fish Sensitivity adjusts the threshold of the Fish ID+™
detection algorithms. Selecting a higher setting allows weaker returns to be displayed
as fish. This is useful for identifying smaller fish species or baitfish. Selecting a lower
setting displays fewer fish from weak sonar returns. This is helpful when seeking larger
species of fish. Fish Sensitivity is used in conjunction with Fish ID+™. Fish ID+™ must be
set to either Symbol Only or Symbol+Depth for Fish Sensitivity to affect the ability of your
Matrix™ Fishing System to identify sonar returns as fish.
T
o change the Fish Sensitivity setting:
1. Highlight Fish Sensitivity on the Sonar main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Fish Sensitivity
setting. (Low = 1, High = 10, Default = 5)
Fish ID 3D Reference
Fish ID 3D Reference selects the reference line style used in
the 3D Sonar View. Up draws a line from the fish icon to the surface plane, Down draws
a line from the fish icon to the bottom contour, and Both draws both lines.
T
o change the Fish ID 3D Reference setting:
1. Highlight 3D Fish ID Reference Line on the Sonar main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Fish ID 3D Reference
setting. (Surface, Both, Bottom, Default = Bottom)
