actually
two alarms. The

alarm
gives
a
warning
in water at or
deeper
than
the alarm set
point.
The
bottom
signal
is
the
only
echo that will
trigger
either the shallow or
deep
alarm.
NOTE: In orderto
usethe

Selling
both
the shallow and
deep
alarms at the same time allows
a "window" to
be
positioned
between the surface and
the bottom. If the
boat
goes
Into water
that is shallower than the shallow
alarm's
selling,
the

DISCRIMINATION
Lm]
Unwanted noise on the
display
is a
fairly
common
complaint.
Noise is
any
undesired
signal.
It can be
caused
by
either an electrical or
acoustic
source,
ora combination of the two. In both
cases,
the noise can
produce
unwanted marks on the
display.
The
X-40 has Discrimination which is effective In
combating
noise
signals.
It
processes
all
incoming
echoes from the
receiver,
determines
which ones are noise
and eliminates
them,
displaying only
the
legitimate
echoes.
Discrimination has ten levels -0
through
10. 0 is
off,
10 is
the
highestlevel.
