NORMAL OPERATION
Use Normal operation for on-the-water operation with a transducer connected. In
addition, your 900 Series™ uses advanced transducer detection methods to determine
if a transducer is connected. If a functioning transducer is connected, Normal
operation will be selected automatically at power up and your 900 Series™ can be
used on the water.
Exit Normal operation by powering your 900 Series™ off.
SIMULATOR
Use the Simulatorto learn how to use your 900 Series™ before taking your boat on the
water. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on-the-water operation,
providing a randomly-updated display. We recommend going through this manual
while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function and affect the display the
way they actually do when in Normal operation.
NOTE: To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important to select Simulator manually
from the Start-Up Options menu as opposed to letting the 900 Series™ enter Simulator
automatically (as it will if a transducer is not connected and you do nothing during power
up). Manually selecting Simulator from the Start-Up Options menu allows you to pre-
configure your 900 Series™ for on-the-water operation. Any menu changes you make will be
saved for later use.
A Simulation message will appear on the display periodically to remind you that you
are using the Simulator.
Exit the Simulator by powering your 900 Series™ off.
