Humminbird 3D Fish Finder User Manual


 
The three lower buttons, MENU, UP ARROW, and DOWN ARROW work together to control the
Wide 3D Paramount menu-controlled user functions. Initially, there will be 7 user menus
available. If you find that there are menus which are seldom used, these can be "hidden" from the
normal menu sequence to simplify operation.
MENU brings a menu on-screen for adjustment. In normal operation,
pressing MENU repeatedly will cycle through all available menus. A
menu remains on-screen for several seconds allowing user adjustment
by means of the ARROW keys. If no adjustment is made in the allotted
time, the menu disappears. If you need the menu to remain on-screen
longer to study the adjustment options, press and hold MENU to keep
the menu onscreen indefinitely. Once you release the MENU button,
the menu will time out.
Once a menu times out, it is still considered the active menu. The Active menu icon is displayed
at the top left corner of the display in most modes. Pressing MENU will bring up the active menu.
The UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW make adjustments to menu functions. On the left side of
every menu there are UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW symbols. The symbols indicate which
ARROW button has a function in a particular situation. Either one or both ARROW buttons can be
used to adjust the menu function. A light gray ARROW symbol means that the corresponding
ARROW button has no function. Pressing that button will result in no adjustment and the "error"
audible will be heard. A black ARROW symbol means that the corresponding ARROW button can
be used to affect the menu adjustment.
The ARROW buttons often can be used when no menu is on-screen. In these
situations, pressing the ARROW button affects the function of the active (last-
used) menu. This is a short-cut to menu operation. An abbreviated menu
appears on-screen while the adjustment is made and "times out". A frequently
used menu can be adjusted very quickly using this technique.
After an adjustment is made to a menu function, the menu "times out" after several seconds and
the unit returns to normal operation. The sequence in which the menus appear is adjusted by the
order that the menus are used. The last menu used will always appear first. The second most
recently used menu will appear second, etc. This "automatic sequencing" ensures that the most
recently used menus will always appear first, and menus which have not recently been adjusted
will appear later in the sequence.
All menus use the same basic layout as shown in the following figure. The heading at the top
describes the menu function (see Control Functions for more details on individual functions). The
UP ARROW and DOWN ARROW symbols to the left of the menu indicate which buttons are
available for adjustment. In menus which have numerous possible settings such as depth range,
a range of adjustment indicator shows the total range available and the current setting. Within the
menu are the options available. The selected option or current setting is highlighted in the black
box. If no adjustment is made, this will be the selected setting. Pressing one of the ARROW
buttons while the menu is onscreen selects another option. After the adjustment is made, the
