range
to
80
feet,
press
8,O,LOWER
NOTE: The maximum
lower limit the X40 can
display
is
9999 feet.
However,
the actual
depth
that it can reach Is
dependent
on water and
bottom
conditions,
plus
the
quality
of the transducer
installation.
When the
X-40
changes ranges
while in the
automatic
mode,
the
lowerlimit selected will
always
bea
multiple

Often ft's
desirable to
expand
or "ZOOM" a section of the
display
to
show more detail. You can do
this on the X-40
by using
the

feature.

To
change
the
display's upper
limit,
first make certain that
AUTO
is off. Then
simply press
the desired
depth (any
number
between 0 and
9989
feet). Next, press
the UPPER UMIT
key.
The
only
restriction on the
upperlimit
isthat it
mustnot be closertothe lowerllmttthan I
Ofeet. In other
words,
setting
the
lower limit to 81 feet
prevents
the
upper
limit
from
being
closer than 71 feet. It
requires
a ten foot or
larger segment. Remember,
you
cannot
change
the
upper
limit if the X-40 Is in
automatic.
Set
upper
and
lower limits in various
combinations to show
segments anywhere
between the surface and the
bottom. This
permits

or "zoom" of a
portion
of the

#4- DIGITAL AVERAG-
ING
The
digital
sonar used in the X-
40 is a
highly
sensitive device that
gives
rapid updates
of the water's
depth.
Under most
conditions,
the bottom
contour
changes
so
quIck
that the dis-
play appears
to
"Jitter".
In
other
words,
the
display
will
change
so
quickly
that it
can be
difficult to determine the actual
bottom
depth.
To
minmize this condi-
tion,
the X.40
averages
the bottom read-
ings
and
displaysthe
result. WhentheX-
40 is first turned
on,
averaging
is en-
abled.
To disable
it,
press

until

or
press

up
or
down arrow in the ZONE
ALARM section of the
keyboard
to turn it
off oron. Wait six
seconds forthe
