Side Beam Range
(WideSide® transducer: WideSide® view only)
Side Beam Range sets the deepest range that will be displayed in the WideSide® View. The
range must be set manually to keep the bottom visible on the display. If the Side Beam Range
is set too deep for current depth conditions the sonar information will become compressed
on the display and valuable detail will be lost. A WideSide® transducer must be connected to
the 700 Series™ Fishing System. Side Beam Range menu choice is available when Transducer
Select is set to WideSide® (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select) and can only be accessed
from the WideSide® view.
NOTE: The Side Beam Range requires the purchase of the WideSide® transducer. You can visit our
website at www.humminbird.com to order this accessory online or contact our Customer Resource
Center at 1-800-633-1468.
To adjust the Side Beam Range:
1. Make sure you are in WideSide® Transducer Mode and that a WideSide® transducer is
connected, then highlight Side Beam Range on the Sonar X-Press
TM
menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Side Beam
Range setting. (6 - 160 feet, or 2 - 40 meters [International Models only], Default = 160 feet
[40 meters])
Chart Speed
Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar
information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster
speed shows more information in the Sonar Views and is preferred by most anglers; however, the
sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the
display longer, but the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to
interpret. Regardless of the Chart Speed setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum
rate possible for the depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.
To adjust the Chart Speed:
1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-Press™ menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Chart Speed
setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest, Default = 5)
