USING THE LEGEND 2000 SERIES
Performance
The
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
represents a new way of thinking about fishing
electronics. It combines state-of-the-art electronics with the detail of a
traditional sonar paper chart recorder to create the fishfinder of the future.
Minimal, easy-to-understand knob controls provide access to the most
important features. The
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
eliminates confusion created by
too many buttons and menus. High technology, high performance, with “back
to basics” operation makes the
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
the ideal choice of the
serious angler.
The
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
uses sonar to locate and define underwater objects.
Sonar technology is based on sound waves sent into the water in a controlled
“beam” from the transducer. Objects within this beam reflect the sonar signal
back. The
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
very accurately measures the distance to these
objects based on the time it takes for the sonar to return. Each object (bottom,
fish or structure) reflects the sonar uniquely, providing information about its
makeup. The
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
draws this returned information on the
display.
The
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
operates in a wide variety of water conditions, from 2'
to 600' (2000' for the Legend 2000 Deep and 2005 Deep Models). Actual depth
capability depends on many factors such as bottom hardness, water conditions,
and transducer installation. All sonar units typically read to deeper depths in
fresh water than in salt water.
Deep Models Additional Performance
If you purchased a Legend 2000 Deep or a Legend 2005 Deep Model, your
Legend product is equipped with a 50kHz/200kHz dual beam transducer
capable of performing to a depth of 2000 feet. In addition, your unit contains
several extra features that will enhance its sonar performance in deep water.
S
ONAR

IEW
allows you to display the sonar information from either beam or
both beams simultaneously. F

turned off to show the greatest amount of sonar information. F

provide advanced signal processing to identify fish
and show their depth and relative size from either beam.
Powering Up the Unit
After installation, turn the
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
on by momentarily pressing the
G
AIN
knob. An audible chirp sounds as the unit turns on. If the unit detects
that the transducer is connected and is in water, the
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
begins to show sonar information on the display. If the transducer is not
detected, the unit starts up in
S
IMULATOR
mode.
To power the unit off at any time, press and hold the
G
AIN
knob for several
seconds until the unit turns off.
Simulator and Feature Memory
The
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
contains a
S
IMULATOR
that allows you to use the
unit as though you are on the water.
The
S
IMULATOR
is an invaluable aid to learning the features and functions
of the
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
. All controls are operational and settings can be
changed to experiment with various features. An indicator appears at the
bottom left of the display when operating in
S
IMULATOR
mode.
There are two ways to start the
S
IMULATOR
. The method to use depends on
whether a transducer is connected.
Power On with No Transducer
If the
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
is powered
on with no transducer connected, it
starts up in
S
IMULATOR
mode. No other
steps are needed. In this mode, the
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
does not remember any setting changes after power
off, but defaults to the factory settings.
Power On with Transducer Connected
If the
L
EGEND
2000 S
ERIES
is powered on with the transducer connected,
the
S
IMULATOR
must be turned on manually. To turn on the
S
IMULATOR
manually:
1. Press the Control Panel knob to display the list of options.
2. Rotate the Control Panel knob to scroll through the list until
Simulator is visible and is highlighted on the display.
3. Turn the Range knob to turn Simulator from Off to On.
4. Press the Control Panel knob to clear the screen.
When operating with the Simulator on and the transducer connected,
changes made to the following Control Panel choices are permanently
remembered: Chart Speed, RTS Window, Surface Clutter, Contrast,
White Line, Units, and in International Models, Language.
