SONAR SETTINGS
is the next sub-menu, and it has the following features that may be
adjusted:
SENSITIVITY
-This adjusts the sensitivity. This is described in the Control Panel section
above
RANGE
Select range in the same manner as described above
ZOOM DEPTH
-
Here is where you set the upper range of the zoom window. This can also be done by
using the ZOOM button as described above. The actual size of the zoom window is adjusted in the “Zoom
Window” field.
ZOOM WINDOW
- Here is where you determine the size of the Zoom Window. Go to the
“Zoom” section of the manual for more specific information.
IR
- Interference Rejection can be adjusted here, as well as by using the Control Panel button.
See above for more info.
TARGET ADJUST
-Target Adjust can be adjusted here, as well as by using the Control Panel
button. See above for more info.
CONE ANGLE
-Cone Angle [and Sonar Footprint] can be adjusted here, as well as by using the
Control Panel button. See above for more info.
SONAR MODE
-Choose between “ice fishing” and “open water” mode here
MAX PING RATE
-Adjusting this setting will increase the response time of signals from your
transducer to the screen. If fishing shallow water (less than 20 feet) use the lower settings.
Likewise, you will see better performance with the higher settings in deeper water.
CHART ENHANCE
–
This feature is unique to the LX-9, and open water anglers in particular will find
it very helpful for locating bottom-hugging fish. While in Chart Display or Chart Zoom only, the Chart
Enhance draws a fine line on the bottom, this makes it easier to differentiate between a fish tight to the
bottom and a high spot on the bottom. Increasing the setting will “pull” the line farther off the bottom.
The Chart Enhance settings go up to ten, best results will likely be had with a setting of 3 or less.
TRANSDUCER OFFSET
—By seLng this at the same distance your transducer is below the water line,
you will have the most accurate depth measurement possible
SHALLOW ALARM
—
For open water use, this will indicate if your boat goes shallower than a
designated depth. For instance, you may not want your boat to be in water less than 5 feet deep. Set the
Shallow Alarm for 5 feet, and an alarm will go off if you get into water 5 feet or less. This should not be
used as an aid to navigation, pay attention to your surroundings at all times! The alarm will stop once the
boat has moved to deeper water, or the settings have been adjusted to a shallower depth.
