two left beams and fish pointing right are in one of the two right beams. Solid fish symbols
represent returns in one of the two center beams. Solid fish pointing right are detected in the right
center beam and solid fish pointing left are detected in the left center beam. Using the combo
view or toggling back and fourth between the 3D and 2D view will help you more precisely locate
these fish. When the speed sensor is connected, ID++ adds additional information to help the
user locate fish. On selected fish symbols, the digital depth of the designated fish is drawn to help
locate the fish vertically. Some of these ID lines will be accompanied by a digital number at the 0
line. This number is the approximate distance of the fish from the boat. If the boat is moving, the
number will increase over time to indicate the increasing distance from the boat. If the boat speed
is increased or decreased, the distance number will be updated accordingly. This is especially
helpful in setting bait depths or for downrigger operation.
CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The Wide 3D Paramount uses a simple 6-button keypad for all user input. When any button is
pressed, an audible "chirp" confirms the control input. In the event that a particular button has no
function or is inappropriate for the situation, an audible "error", or multiple chirps, will be heard.
POWER, powers the Wide 3D Paramount up for normal operation. When the unit
is on, POWER turns the unit off. POWER can also be used to go directly into
Simulator mode. With the unit powered off, press and hold POWER for several
seconds until a continuous chirp is heard.
LIGHT controls the unit's 4-position display backlight as well as the keypad
backlight. With the unit powered on, pressing LIGHT once will turn the backlight on
"low". Pressing LIGHT a second time will increase the brightness of the backlight.
The backlight is very effective for low-light and nighttime operation. When the
backlight is on, the Wide 3D Paramount will consume more power than with the
backlight off. This is important when using the Wide 3D Paramount in a portable
configuration powered by a separate battery, or when powering the unit from a
trolling motor battery.
At power-up, the display and keypad backlight will be on so the user can locate the controls in
darkness. After a period of about 5 seconds, the light will power-off unless the LIGHT button is
pressed.
NOTE: When powering the unit from a battery such as in portable applications, avoiding use of
the backlight prolongs battery life.
The VIEW button selects one of several screen configurations or "views" possible depending on
the transducer in use. When using the standard (Six-beam) transducer, the VIEW button toggles
the display between the full-screen 3D View, 2D View, "Combo" View, and "Monster Digits" View.
