The Wide Portrait will also work with older Dual beam transducers. If you are using a Dual beam
transducer, you must manually select “Dual” from the transducer menu as the Dual Beam
transducer cannot be identified automatically. If “Dual” is manually selected, dual beam operation
will be selected any time a non-standard transducer is detected. This allows the Wide Portrait to
be used in conjunction with a transducer switch, so more than one type of transducer can be
used with a single unit. A common installation is to use one transducer for high-speed operation,
and a second transducer mounted on a trolling motor. The second transducer can be another Tri-
beam, a Wide Side, or a Dual Beam.
Note: Unless you are using a non-standard transducer, or suspect a problem with the transducer
recognition, always leave this option set to Auto. If you are using a Dual Beam transducer, you
must manually select “Dual” for the Wide Portrait to work properly using this transducer.
The Wide Portrait cannot differentiate between a Wide Side and Dual beam transducer. If you are
using these two transducers through a switch, the transducer selection must be manually
changed every time the switch position is changed.
The Transducer setting is remembered when the unit is powered off If it is not set to Auto, a
message will appear at startup to indicate that the transducer has been manually selected.
Once the transducer selection is made, use the MENU button to advance to the next Option.
Display Speed
Display Speed controls the rate which the graphic information moves across the display. There
are 5 possible speeds, the fastest rate (5) is the factory setting. If your boat is stationary or
moving very slowly for extended periods, it may be desirable to update the display at a slower
rate. The closer the update rate matches boat speed, the more accurate is the graphic depiction
of the terrain beneath your boat. Use the UP and DOWN ARROWS to select the desired rate. (1)
is the slowest, (5) is the fastest. Use the MENU button to advance to the next menu.
Display Speed setting is remembered when the unit is powered off.
Reset
The final Option is Reset. With many User Options available to customize the Wide Portrait, it is
easy to configure the unit in such a way that is detrimental to a particular use. By using the Reset
function, all variable or user-controlled features of the Wide Portrait are returned to the factory
settings.
