ADVANCED FEATURES
USING ALTERNATIVE TRANSDUCERS
When a Wide Side transducer is connected, the screen display changes to
display the information from the side-looking elements. The Wide-Side
transducer has four views available: Left, Right, Down and Both. These
views are controlled by the View button. The default view is both, in which
information from both the left and right elements are displayed on screen.
The digital depth of the water beneath your boat is always present.
Viewing both left and right sides simultaneously gives you an excellent tool
when searching for bait fish in open water, or when following a creek bed.
However, you will have a greater display resolution if you view only one
side.
The down view is similar to the traditional view when using the standard
transducer, however there is no Tri-Beam information available, such as fish
location.
When operating in Wide Side mode, the range must be adjusted manually,
since the bottom is often not visible on-screen. Ranges of 5m (15'), 10m
(30'), 20m (60') and 40m (120') are available. Also, Zoom is not possible in
Wide Side mode, and the Zoom menu is not available.
