Screen item Description
1 Depth reading — current depth of seabed.
2 Depth Target ID — depths are displayed against
recognized targets. The sensitivity of these IDs is

the fish alarm sensitivity, the greater the number of
labelled returns.
3 Cursor Depth — this is the depth of the cursor
position.
4 Vertical VRM marker — indicates the distance behind
your vessel.
5
Horizontal VRM marker — indicates the depth of the
target.
6 Depth lines — horizontal dashed lines drawn at
regular intervals to indicate the depth from the surface.
7 Depth markers — these numbers indicate depth.
Measuring depth and distance with VRM
You can use a Variable Range Marker (VRM) to determine an
object’s depth and distance behind your vessel. These markers
consist of a horizontal (depth) line and a vertical (distance) line,
each of which are marked with the appropriate measurement.

1. Select Menu
2. Select Scroll so that Pause is highlighted (This may make it
easier to position the marker).
Selecting Scroll will switch the scroll between Pause and
Resume.
