Contrast
The Contrast function allows the user to control the level of contrast of the LCD display. The Wide
Paramount will automatically adjust the display contrast to compensate for changing ambient
temperatures; however, some situations may occur where manual adjustment will provide a
higher level of contrast.
Eleven contrast settings, +5 to -5, are possible. The display contrast will change as the adjustment is
made so the optimum level of contrast can easily be adjusted. Use the ARROW buttons to highlight the
desired selection. The Wide Paramount will reset to the factory setting when the unit is powered off.
Units
Units of Speed allows the selection of MPH (statute miles per hour), or KTS (nautical miles per hour). Use
the Arrow buttons to highlight the desired selection. The Wide Paramount will remember this setting even
when the unit is powered off. Press MENU to go to the next selection.
Fish ID
The next Option menu is Fish ID. There are four selections available; Off, ID ON, ID+ ON, and ID++ ON.
The factory setting is ID++ On. With Fish ID Off, sonar returns are displayed as "raw" information. There
is no interpretation made by the unit. Selecting ID Off, will also disable the fish alarm.
ID On enables the Wide Paramount to interpret the raw sonar
data and, using a variety of techniques, depict appropriate target
returns as one of three different size fish symbols. Further
identification shows whether the fish is in the left, center, or right
beam.
ID+ On adds an additional piece of information to the location of
the fish. The depth beneath the surface for selected fish symbols
is attached to the fish symbol. ID++ adds the distance
measurement from the boat to selected fish symbols. This measurement requires the speed input to be
connected in order to determine the distance the boat has travelled.
Use the ARROW buttons to highlight the desired setting, and press MENU to advance to the next menu.
The unit remembers Fish ID setting when powered off.
Numeral Size
Numeral Size is the next Option menu. Two options are available: "Big" and "Small". The factory setting is
Big. With this setting, the digital depth and speed and temp numerals are drawn large enough to be
readable from across the boat. The big numerals occupy space on the display which could be used for
the graphics area. Hence, the small numerals option. With small numerals selected, a greater amount of
the display area is available for the graphic view.
Use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the desired selection, then press MENU to advance
to the next menu.
Numeral Size settings are remembered when the unit is powered off.
Transducer
The Transducer option allows manual selection or identification of a non-standard transducer. The Wide
Paramount is designed to work with the Tri-Beam transducer supplied with the unit. There are several
instances in which an alternative transducer may be used (i.e. a Wide Side or a trolling motor mount
transducer). Often two transducers are used in conjunction with a transducer switch to provide increased
utility.
