TIP: 

For LiveVü Forward mode, adjust the angle 1 or 2 clicks 

downward in shallow water (less than 4.6 m/15 feet) and 2 or 

3 clicks downward in deeper water (more than 4.6 m/15 feet).

2

Tighten the knob or mounting bolt so the device does not 

move during use.

Effective Forward and Down Range

 CAUTION

Water conditions and bottom conditions affect the depth and 

range performance of the transducer. You should use caution 

and observe the water depth and range, especially when your 

unit is operating in manual range or depth mode.

When operating in LiveVü Forward mode, the transducer has an 

effective forward range of between five and eight times the 

depth of the water. For example, in 3 m (10 ft.) of water, the 

effective forward range is between 15 and 24 m (between 50 

and 80 ft.). Water conditions and bottom conditions affect the 

actual range.
When operating in LiveVü Down mode, the fore/aft range is 

equal to the depth of the water. For example, in 10 m (33 ft.) 

water depth, the screen will display 5 m (16 ft.) fore and 5 m 

(16 ft.) aft of the transducer. Deeper water provides a greater 

fore and aft range.

Beam width

When you point the transducer away from the bottom, the 

integrated stabilization system automatically aligns the beam 

vertical to the bottom. Regardless of the transducer orientation, 

the length cone angle 

Ã

 is always 100°, and the width cone 

angle 

Ä

 is always 20°.
