Range
Selects the deepest range shown on
the display. Range settings display the
section of the water column from the
water surface to the selected depth
range.
If you select too shallow a depth range, the unit will
not be able to lock onto the bottom.
Custom Range — Upper and Lower Limits
Used to select the upper limit and lower limit of
a section of the water column. That allows you to
view a section of the water column that does not
include the water surface. Upper and lower limits
must be at least 5 ft (2m) apart.
NOTE: You can make changes (+/-40%)
to sensitivity with Auto Sensitivity turned
on. You will have to turn it o to make
signicant adjustments.
Sensitivity
Controls the level of detail shown on the display.
Too much detail will clutter the screen. If Sensitivity
is set too low, desired echoes may not be displayed.
Colorline
Separates strong sonar echoes from weak sonar
echoes. That makes it easier for you to distinguish
sh or structure from the bottom. A hard return
will be shown as a wide, bright yellow area,
whereas a soft return will be a narrow reddish-
blue area.
Auto Sensitivity
Keeps sensitivity at a level that works well under
most conditions, reducing the need for adjust-
ments. Auto Sensitivity is turned on by default.
