DSI Operation |

Elite-5x & Elite-7x

Frequency

Controls the transducer frequency

used by the unit. 800 kHz offers the

best resolution, while 455 kHz has greater depth

coverage.

nOTe:

When using a custom range,

you may not receive any digital depth

readings, or you may receive incorrect

depth information.

Ping Speed

Controls the rate the transducer uses to send sonar

waves into the water. Ping speed adjustments can

help reduce interference from other transducers.

Downscan options

Noise Rejection

Uses advanced signal processing to monitor the ef-

fects noise (boat pumps, water conditions, engine

ignition systems, etc.) has on your display, and then

filters out undesired signals.
