suspended targets and structure.

nOTe:

Sonar history (Trackback) will

not be recorded when sonar is stopped.

Split Zoom

Changes the display to a split zoom view.

Surface Clarity

decreasing the sensitivity of the receiver near the

surface.

Surface Clarity

set to Low.

Surface Clarity

set to High.

Color

palette best suited to your

fishing conditions.
The white background palette works well for

suspended targets. Purple is useful for viewing

structure detail and determining bottom hardness.
