Section 4: Using the SeaScope ID600
This section provides complete information on operating the SeaScope ID600 through its
front panel controls. You are encouraged to read this information completely as you first learn to
use the SeaScope ID600. Doing so will ensure you make the most if it many features and
functions.
The first part of this section explains the use of the built-in simulator, which you can use
to practice selecting functions through the front panel. The remaining instructions, which can be
followed while using the simulator or in actual operation, explain each function and are organized
according to the front panel layout.
Using the Built-In Simulator
The SeaScope ID600 includes a built-in simulator that helps you learn to use your new
equipment. The simulator displays a typical underwater scene, and lets you practive with the
controls.
The unit must be turned off before you start the simulator. To activate it, press down and
hold the POWER button until a chirping sound begins. Release the button, and the built-in
simulator begins displaying a typical SeaScope ID600 reading.
You can use the simulator to learn the functions explained in the following pages, just as
if you were getting actual on-the-water readings. To turn off the simulator, turn off the unit by
pressing the POWER button again.
Of course, the best way to learn the SeaScope ID600 is with actual use, expecially in
familiar waters. If you know what’s below and see it on screen, you’ll quickly become a
SeaScope ID600 expert.
Operating the SeaScope ID600
The SeaScope ID600 offers several functions that you can adjust with the front panel
buttons. (Note that to select something with a button, you must press it fully so that you hear a
“chirp” sound).
You can get acquainted with these features by actual operation, or when using the
simulator.
POWER: Press this once to turn the SeaScope ID600 on. Pressing it again turns the SeaScope
ID600 off. (Any adjustments you make with other front panel buttons are retained, as long as the
12-volt DC pwer supply remains connected). When the unit is off, keeping POWER pressed for
about 2 seconds starts the built-in simulator.
