The Wide 2000 will also work with older Dual beam transducers. If you are using a Dual beam 
transducer, you must manually select “Dual” from the transducer menu as the Dual Beam 
transducer cannot be identified automatically. If  “Dual” is manually selected, dual beam operation 
will be selected any time a non-standard transducer is detected. This allows the Wide 2000 to be 
used in conjunction with a transducer switch, so more than one type of transducer can be used 
with a single unit. A common installation is to use one transducer for high-speed operation, and a 
second transducer mounted on a trolling motor. The second transducer can be another Tri-beam, 
a Wide Side, or a Dual Beam. 
 
Note: Unless you are using a non-standard transducer, or suspect a problem with the transducer 
recognition, always leave this option set to Auto. If you are using a Dual Beam transducer, you 
must manually select “Dual” for the Wide 2000 to work properly using this transducer. 
 
The Wide 2000 cannot differentiate between a Wide Side and Dual beam transducer. If you are 
using these two transducers through a switch, the transducer selection must be manually 
changed every time the switch position is changed. 
 
The Transducer setting is remembered when the unit is powered off If it is not set to Auto, a 
message will appear at  startup to indicate that the transducer has been manually selected. 
 
Once the transducer selection is made, use the MENU button to advance to the next Option.  
 
 
Display Speed 
 
Display Speed controls the rate which the graphic information moves across the display. There 
are 5 possible speeds, the fastest rate (5) is the factory setting. If your boat is stationary or 
moving very slowly for extended periods, it may be desirable to update the display at a slower 
rate. The closer the update rate matches boat speed, the more accurate is the graphic depiction 
of the terrain beneath your boat. Use the UP and DOWN ARROWS to select the desired rate. (1) 
is the slowest, (5) is the fastest. Use the MENU button to advance to the next menu. 
 

 

 
Display Speed setting is remembered when the unit is powered off. 
 
 
Reset 
 
The final Option is Reset. With many User Options available to customize the Wide 2000, it is 
easy to configure the unit in such a way that is detrimental to a particular use. By using the Reset 
function, all variable or user-controlled features of the Wide 2000 are returned to the factory 
settings.
