option provides a good balance between a quickly
scrolling image and targets that are less distorted.
Setting the Bottom Search Limit
You can set a maximum depth at which the auto range feature
searches for the bottom. A lower limit acquires data about the
bottom faster than a higher limit.

Color Scheme
: Sets the color scheme.

: Highlights the strongest signal from the bottom to help
define the hardness or softness of the signal.
A-Scope

a scale.
Fish Symbols
: Sets how the sonar interprets suspended
targets.
Turning on the A-Scope
The a-scope is a vertical flasher along the right side of the full-
screen sonar view. This feature expands the most recently
received sonar data so that it is easier to see. It can also be
helpful for detecting fish that are close to the bottom.
NOTE:
This feature is not available on all sonar screens.

Interference
: Adjusts the sensitivity to reduce the effects of
interference from nearby sources of noise.
When you adjust the interference setting from off
À
through
low
Á
, medium
Â
, and high
Ã
, noise is gradually removed,
but there is little effect on the strong target returns. You
should use the lowest interference setting that achieves the
desired improvement to remove interference from the screen.
Correcting installation issues that cause noise is the best way
to eliminate interference.
Surface Noise
: Hides sonar returns near the surface of the
water. Hiding surface noise helps reduce screen clutter.
Surface noise
À
is caused by interference between the
transducer and water. You can hide surface noise
Á
to help
reduce clutter. Wider beam widths (lower frequencies) can
show more targets, but can generate more surface noise.
TVG
: Reduces surface noise.
This control is best used for situations when you want to
control and suppress clutter or noise near the water surface.
It also allows for the display of targets near the surface that
are otherwise hidden or masked by surface noise.
