SOLIX Series

1. 

X-Press Menu: 

With the 360 View displayed on-screen, press the MENU key once, or tap Sonar (360) on the status bar.

2.  Select Sonar Options.
3.  Tap the screen or use the Joystick to select an option from the submenu. 

Preferences

The Preferences submenu allows you to set the sonar color, 360 orientation offset, and 
activate contour mode.

Sonar Colors:

 The Sonar Colors submenu changes the colors used to display sonar 

returns on the view.

360 Orientation:

 If the position of objects on the display are slightly different than what 

you observe in the environment around you, use this menu option to rotate the display 
and correct the alignment. See the 

MEGA 360 Imaging Installation Guide

 for more 

information.

Contour Mode:

 Contour Mode controls how the water column is displayed. 

When Contour 

Mode turned off,

 the water column is displayed on the view. The location of a target on 

the display is based on the slant range to the target.

When Contour Mode is turned on,

 the bottom is graphed at a constant point on the 

display, regardless of changes in depth. The water column is removed from the view. The 
location of a target may be easier to interpret when the water column is removed.

Overlays

Use the Overlays submenu to display or hide information on the view. In the 360 View, you 
can display the following: boat icon, range rings and labels, beam frequency label, zoom 
label, compass, heading line, waypoints, and cursor data. 
Tap the menu, or use the Joystick to select an item, and add a check mark (check mark 
= visible, blank = hidden). 

Global

When Global is turned on,

 the selected menu setting on the control head is shared with 

the other control heads in the network.

When Global is turned off, 

the selected menu setting is only available on the selected 

control head.

Range Marker

To mark a specific range on the view, turn on Range Marker. Press and hold the slider to 
adjust the setting.
