Btm (Bottom) Split ––shows two reduced pictures, the right
at the original depth scale and the left showing only sonar

the Bottom Split display by changing the Span setting (see

close to the bottom, shown at their distance from the bottom)
picture on the full screen. You can adjust the scale of the

• View/Span —available when a Zoom scale other than No

change the viewing range of a zoomed display. The View
option is enabled when the display is set to 2x Split , 2x

affected by the change. If the display is Bottom Split or
Bottom Lock , the Span option adjusts the area from the
bottom for which the unit displays data.
• Gain —controls the sensitivity of the unit’s receiver. This
provides some flexibility in what is seen on the display. To
see more detail, increase the receiver sensitivity by selecting
a higher gain percentage. If there is too much detail or if the
screen is cluttered, lowering the sensitivity may increase the
clarity of the display.
