Max Depth
(Advanced)
Max Depth
adjusts the maximum depth of 2D operation. The performance
of your 900 Series™ can be tuned to the maximum depth you will be fishing
in by setting the Max Depth. When a maximum depth is set, your
900 Series™ will not attempt to acquire sonar data below that depth, thus
increasing overall performance. When Max Depth is set to Auto, the
900 Series™ will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capacity of
the unit). If the bottom is deeper than the Max Depth setting, the digital
depth readout will flash, indicating that the 900 Series™ cannot locate the
bottom. The Max Depth menu choice is available when User Mode is set to
Advanced (see
Setup Menu Tab: User Mode
).
To change the Max Depth setting:
1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode and in a 2D Sonar View,
then highlight Max Depth on the Sonar main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the
Max Depth setting. (AUTO, 10 to 1000 feet; 3 to 330 meters
[International models only]
, Default = AUTO)
Water Type
(Advanced)
Water Type
configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. The
Water Type menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced
(see
Setup Menu Tab: User Mode
).
NOTE:
In salt water, what would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10
times bigger than a large fish in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you
are seeking). The salt water setting allows for a greater range in fish size
adjustment to account for this. Also, make sure that the Water Type is set
accurately, especially in salt water, as this affects the accuracy of deep water
depth readings.
To change the Water Type setting:
1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Water
Type on the Sonar main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the
Water Type setting. (Fresh, Salt, Default = Fresh)
