used to measure the depth of underwater objects. The depth of the
line appears in a box on the right side of the line. Press up or down
on the ROCKER to move the line on the Sonar Page.
Noise Reject —helps filter unwanted noise from the Sonar Page.
The Noise Reject can be turned Off , set to Normal (automatically
