When you exit the "System Options"
menu, the view you will see on-screen is shown
(bottom, left).
Viewing both left and right sides
simultaneously gives you an excellent tool when
searching for bait fish or following a creek bed,
however greater display resolution can be
achieved by viewing only one side.
Experiment with the Wide Side transducer
while operating it in a familiar area and learn how
to make maximum use of the information
displayed. Remember, if you are using a trolling
motor mount, the information displayed is controlled by the direction the trolling motor is pointing,
not necessarily the direction the boat is travelling.
The information collected is controlled through
the "Transducer" menu. The UP and DOWN
arrow keys select "left", "right" or "both". Pressing
ENTER will select the "down" mode and a
traditional down view will be displayed. When
"down" mode is selected, the single 24 degree
down-looking element of the Wide Side
transducer is used to collect this information.
Unlike the dual beam transducer, the Wide Side
transducer does not have "wide", "narrow" or
"dual" beam options.
The "Range" menu in Wide Side must be used to
control the range manually, as the bottom is not
always visible on-screen. Ranges of 15, 30, 60,
and 120 feet are available.
"Zoom" has no function in Wide Side mode and the menu will not be present.
The "ID" menu is not present in Wide Side mode. Fish are displayed as three different
size fish symbols, there are no hollow fish symbols to give directional information.
