USING THE WIDE VISION
SIMULATOR OPERATION
The Wide Vision is simple to use. Simply press the POWER button, and the unit will automatically locate
the bottom, adjust the depth range and sensitivity to an appropriate level, and draw a picture of the terrain
beneath your boat. If POWER is the only button you press, you will benefit from the advanced automatic
bottom tracking capability of the unit.
However, if you choose to experiment with the many features and controls the Wide Vision offers, you
can customize the presentation of information to suit your particular needs. The Wide Vision offers a wide
variety of settings and types of display, to satisfy any sonar need.
The Wide Vision contains a simulator which allows you to use the unit as if you were on the water. This
simulator is invaluable for learning how to operate the many features of the Wide Vision unit.
With the unit turned off, press and hold POWER until you hear a continuous chirp. This initiates the
simulator operation and "simulator" will be displayed at the top of the screen. Your Wide Vision will
simulate all functions as if it were actually on the water.
To exit the simulator, press POWER to turn the unit off. Pressing POWER again will power-up the unit for
normal operation.
When in simulator operation, the Wide Vision unit will respond to control inputs as if it were in actual
operation, so feel free to experiment with the many features and functions to customize the Wide Vision
unit for your particular application.
The Wide Vision remembers many user settings made while in actual operation, even if power is
disconnected. If setting adjustments are made while using the simulator they will not be retained and the
unit will default to the latest adjustments made during actual operation.
WHAT YOU SEE ON SCREEN
The first thing you may notice about the Wide Vision unit is the high-resolution, wide screen LCD display.
The LCD display uses super-twist technology, for maximum viewability and is ruggedized for tough shock
and vibration endurance. The display is also backlit for nighttime operation, and uses special components
so it can operate at temperatures more extreme than you are likely to encounter.
The Wide Vision allows you a number of ways to display sonar information. Some features are used in
conjunction with special accessories such as the Boat Speed and Water Temperature gauge, or "Wide
Side" side looking transducer.
