The Depth Range can be adjusted manually. Press MENU repeatedly until the Depth Range
menu is visible. The two options available are "Auto" (Factory Setting) and "Manual". Pressing the
DOWN ARROW enables "Manual" depth range control and an additional menu will appear which
allows the user to adjust the current depth range setting. If no further button is pressed, the
current depth range is selected as the desired range and the unit returns to normal operation.
Using "Manual" Depth Range control, the user can view sonar information from the area near the
surface in great detail. If a depth range other than the current range is desired, pressing the
DOWN ARROW to highlight "Adjust" will allow selection of one of the 6 available ranges. Simply
press and hold the UP or DOWN ARROW button to scan through the available options. If a
setting limit is reached, the audible "error" or multiple chirps will be heard and no further
adjustment is allowed. When "Manual" range is used, the unit no longer adjusts the Depth
Range to the most appropriate range for bottom display. Often, the bottom may not be visible on
screen and a Bird Note T"" will appear to indicate this condition. The digital depth readout always
determines the depth of the bottom, even if it is not visible on-screen.
When a Depth Range is selected manually and the Depth Range menu
is still active (most recently used), further adjustment of the depth
range can be achieved by simply pressing the appropriate UP or
DOWN ARROW button. The button press will bring an abbreviated
Depth Range menu onscreen located next to the lower range number,
and allows immediate adjustment of the range. After any adjustment is
made, a Bird Note T"' will appear briefly to confirm the adjustment.
To return to "Automatic" Depth Range control, press the MENU button
until the Depth Range menu appears on-screen and use the UP ARROW to select AUTO. The
Wide 3D Paramount returns to Automatic operation.
Note: Depth Range is not remembered when the unit is powered off. At power up, the unit is
always in automatic depth range.
The Wide 3D Paramount uses a greatly enhanced Zoom capability called "TruZoom" which offers
expanded information on a select area of sonar information. The Zoom
options is only available when using the 2D view. Zoom is similar to Depth
Range in that it controls the range of information displayed in the graphics
area of the display. Zoom, however, allows selection of ranges beneath
the surface so any area of water between the surface and the bottom can
be enlarged to provide more detailed information. By using the full display
to show a small area of coverage, the effective display resolution is
increased both vertically (depth information) and horizontally, and the
unit's ability to separate targets which are very close together is
enhanced.
