OPERATION
The LX-9 has many functions and settings that are selected or changed by buttons on the Control
Panel. Learning what each of the buttons (POWER, SENS, RANGE, ZOOM, IR, CONE
ANGLE, TARGET ADJUST, MENU/ENTER, UP, DOWN) does will enable you to get the most
out of your LX-9. Note that you can experiment with different settings and dashboard
arrangements in SIMULATOR mode. Many of the selections will activate just by highlighting
your desired setting.
CONTROL PANEL
The following is an explanation of each button on the control panel and what it does. Some of
the button functions can also be accessed in the main menu. Pressing any of the Control Panel
buttons will cause a window to open, enabling the user to make the desired adjustments. All
button function windows will time out after about 10 seconds. Any changes made to the settings
will activate when the MENU button is pressed, or after a few seconds without activity.
POWER
- Press and hold this button for about 2 seconds to turn your unit on or off.
SENS
-‐ The SENS (sensi-vity) bu4on controls the amount of sensi-vity required by the unit to pick up
objects like bo4om, weeds, fish, smaller bait-‐fish, or small lures and jigs. To adjust your sensi-vity, first
press the SENS bu4on and a bar will appear at the bo4om of your display. Pressing the UP/DOWN will
adjust your sensi-vity, and the sensi-vity seLng will now be digitally displayed on the SENS gauge. The
best SENS seLng is achieved by turning up your sensi-vity from 0 un-l you receive a clear and steady
bo4om reading, as well as a steady reading of your jig. The sensi-vity will go up to 25, but seLng the
sensi-vity between 8 and 12 in three color or 4 and 8 in six color and grey scale is likely to give op-mal
performance in most condi-ons. Too much sensi-vity will only display with unnecessary informa-on,
showing clu4er and making it more difficult to interpret the return signals. Clu4er can be caused by any
number of suspended items, including algae, zooplankton, -ny bubbles, and other par-cles.
RANGE
— The LX-9 is equipped with “Auto Range” and “Dynamic Depth”. The LX-9 will
automatically lock onto the proper range with either of these settings. There are also 9 manually
adjustable depth ranges—10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 120, 180, 240 and 300-feet. If you manually select a
range, select a range that is deeper than the actual depth and when in doubt, error on the “deep”
side. To change your range setting, press RANGE and scroll up or down using the UP/DOWN
Buttons. When the desired range is highlighted, press MENU to instantly change, or just wait
for a moment and the LX-9 will lock into the selected range automatically.
