bOTTOM TRACK MENU
The Bottom Track mode is designed to help you fi sh consistently near the bottom. This mode of operation requires an
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 fi xed distance above the bottom. In order to avoid
continuous weight adjustments due to minor changes in bottom depth and boat motion caused by wave action, you have
the ability to adjust the responsiveness of the weight. You can also defi ne 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.
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: This limit must not exceed the bottom depth and/or the length of the cable. Running out the cable completely
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 adjust its depth only when the bottom depth
increases by 4 feet or more. However, it will always adjust for any decrease in bottom depth regardless of this setting.
