SURVEYING A LAKE
The most successful
anglers
on
any body
of waterare
thosewhofish it
day
after
day
and
year
after
year. Eventually, they
learn the hot
spots
that
produce
fish
consistently.
They
discover
through experience
where,
and
atwhat
depth, theycan expectto
find the fish
theywant
at
any
season. And
they
realize that these
productive
areas
change throughout
the
year
depending
on water
level, temperature, food,
and other factors. With the
X-55A,
anyone
can eliminate
guesswork
and
concentrate
on
the areas
where fish are
likely
to be. Even if it's the first time on
the lake!
MENUS
The X-55A uses menus ex-
tensivelyto guide
you through
the functions and features
of
the unit.
The menu
key
ac-
cesses
many
of these fea-
tures, allowing
you
to custom-
ize the unit to
your particular
needs and water conditions.
Although you may
have to
leave one menu and enter
another to reach the desired
function,
all
you
have to do is
press
the menu
key
to select the next
menu. If
you
ever
get
lost in a
menu,
simply press
the CLEAR
key.
HELP
An
extremely
useful feature
incorporated
into the X-55A series is the
1-leIp
menus.
Virtually every
feature has a
help
menu label
that,
when
pressed,
gives
one or more
pages
of text
describing
how to use that feature. For
example, pressing
the AUTO
key brings up
a menu
letting you
switch the
unit into or out of the
automatic mode. A
help
label also
appears
on the
screen.
Pressing
the
key adjacentto
the
help
label
gives you
a
description
of how automatic works and
how it affects different functions.
