Bottom Alarm
The Wide View contains an audible
alarm to warn you of shallow water depths. This
alarm is adjustable from 2' to 99' of depth. To
enable the alarm, simply adjust the alarm depth
using the UP and DOWN arrow buttons, and
press ENTER. Whenever the depth of the water
beneath your boat is equal to or less than the
selected alarm depth, a continuous alarm will
sound.
To disable the alarm, either move to
deeper water, or select the Bottom Alarm menu,
and press ENTER to turn the alarm off.
Fish Alarm
The Fish Alarm alerts you to the presence of fish, or other targets not attached to the
bottom, in the water beneath your boat. The Fish Alarm has 3 different settings which correspond
to the 3 different size fish targets shown on-screen.
To enable Fish Alarm, use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to adjust the size return you
want to be alerted to: large fish only, large and medium size fish, or all fish. Then press ENTER to
enable the alarm.
Remember that it is impossible for sonar to determine if a signal return is a fish or some
other type of object or suspended debris. Any object not connected to the bottom is normally a
fish and is portrayed as a fish symbol. The strength of the reflected sonar signal from a target is a
good indicator of the size of the target, and the fish symbol displayed represents the strength of
the signal reflected from it.
