Bottom Track Menu
From the depth screen , press the menu key once. The screen shows the user-set depth limit that the weight will
travel to regardless of the bottom depth. Press the UP key to increase and DOWN key to decrease. Caution : For
obvious reasons, this limit must not exceed the bottom depth and/or the length of the cable. Complete running out
of the cable will result in back spooling or loss of cable.
Now press the RUN key to activate the Bottom Following feature or press Select key to adjust the distance that the
weight is to remain off the bottom. The range is from +50 to -50 feet. Use the negative range to compensate for the
Blowback of the weight at high trolling speeds. Press the UP or DOWN key to increase or decrease the value and
press RUN key to activate the Bottom Track or press Select key once more to adjust the sensitivity of the weight
depth adjustment to minor variations in depth and/or motion of the boat due to wave action. Use UP or DOWN key
to adjust. The range is 1 to 16 feet. For relatively calm water, start with a setting of 4 feet. The weight will now ad-
just its depth only when the bottom depth
increases by 4 feet or more. However, it will always adjust for any de-
crease in bottom depth regardless of this setting.
The Menu System
The chart below summarizes the Digi-troll 10's menu system in the order of occurrence.
While programming, the UP key is used to increase the value and the DOWN key is used to decrease the
value. Remember during programming, if there is no activity on the keypad for 7 seconds, the menu reverts back to
the default
depth screen .
NOTE: The Cycling, Speeds, Line On Reel, and PIC menu options are NOT accessible through the downrigger
when connected to Cannonlink.
Bottom Track
The Bottom Track mode is designed to help you fish consistently near the bottom. This mode of operation re-
quires one of the following:
1) Connection to Cannonlink and a compatible Humminbird fishfinder (only settable at fishfinder).
or
2) Optional sonar transducer attached to your downrigger and mounted according to the instructions in this
manual.
In the bottom track mode, the Digi-troll 10 maintains the weight at a fixed distance above the bottom. In order to
avoid continuous weight adjustments due to minor changes in bottom depth and boat motion caused by wave ac-
tion, you have the ability to adjust the responsiveness of the weight. You can also define the maximum depth that
you wish the weight to go to, regardless of the bottom depth.
Caution:
In order to keep the weight from touching the bottom, make sure that the bottom is well below the band
that you have selected.
