Chart Speed: 

Chart Speed is a user-controllable feature that sets the speed at

which  sonar  information  moves  across  the  display.  A  faster  setting  displays
sonar information from more pings and shows more detail, but the information
moves  quickly  across  the  display:  a  slower  setting  permits  viewing  of  more
sonar history, but does not display as much detail. The best setting is often the
user’s personal choice.

Cone Angle: 

The cone angle is the angular measurement of the sonar beam at

a specific dB down point (i.e. -10 dB). See 

dB Down Point

.

Customizable  Digital  Readouts: 

Customizable  Digital  Readouts  is  a

Humminbird®  feature  that  permits  the  user  to  select  the  specific  digital
information  that  appears  in  the  main  Sonar  view  (i.e.  Speed,  Temperature,
Barometric Pressure, TripLog, etc.)

Dead Zone: 

The dead zone is the area of the sonar beam that receives the sonar

signal after the main bottom return. Fish and other objects close to the bottom
that fall within the dead zone will probably not be visible in the sonar beam.
Precision  sonar  beams,  such  as  the  Humminbird®  20°  beam,  have  a  smaller
dead zone than wider sonar beams.

Decibel: 

A  Decibel  is  the  measurement  for  sound  pressure  level,  or

“intensity”of the sonar return. See 

dB Down Point

.

dB Down Point: 

The dB Down Point is the standard decibel level at which the

sonar  cone  angle  is  measured,  and  is  written  as  “@  -10  dB”  or  “@  -3  dB“.
Measurements at smaller down points (bigger negative numbers) indicate that
the less intensive sonar signals are being used for the measurement. 

Display,  FSTN:

FSTN  is  an  acronym  for  Film  Super-Twist  Nematic.  FSTN  is  a

monochrome  display  technology  characterized  by  black,  high-contrast  pixels.
All monochrome fixed mount Humminbird® products use FSTN technology.

DualBeam PLUS™:

DualBeam PLUS™ is a Humminbird® sonar configuration

that uses two sonar beams simultaneously, and combines the information from
both beams into one view by overlapping the data on-screen, or shows each
beam individually side by side, or permits each beam to be viewed individually
full screen.
