USING THE 150SX
SIMULATOR OPERATION
There are two ways to start the simulator. If
the unit is powered off, press and hold the
POWER button for approximately three
seconds until you hear a continuous chirp.
The simulator can also be started by
selecting the Simulator option on the start-
up screen after you power-up the unit.
When this screen is shown, simply press the DOWN ARROW until
“Simulator” is highlighted. When the screen times out, the unit will be in
simulator mode.
When in simulator operation, the 150SX responds to control inputs as if it
is in actual operation, so feel free to experiment, or to customize the unit
for your particular operation.
To exit Simulator mode, power the unit off.
When in simulator mode, the word “simulator” occasionally
scrolls across the display indicating the information on-screen is
not real sonar data.
FEATURE MEMORY
If your 150SX is installed with a transducer connected, any changes you
make to the set-up or User Options (see Control Functions) while in
Simulator are retained in the unit’s memory. This allows you to use
simulator to experiment with the various set-up options, and retain your
selected settings for normal operation.
If you are using the 150SX in Simulator when no transducer is connected,
any selected options are lost when the unit is powered off. The 150SX will
return to Factory Settings, or options selected when last used with a
transducer, if no transducer is connected.
IMPORTANT: A transducer must be connected to the 150SX in
order to retain user settings selected when in simulator mode. If
no transducer is detected, the unit defaults to pre-selected
options when powered off.
