OPERATION

THE RIGHT HALF

represents the entire water

column, from the water surface to the bottom.

Read the depth using the inner

yellow scale.

THE LEFT HALF

represents the zoom view.

From the bottom up to six feet. Read the
distance from the bottom using
the inner yellow scale.

Bottom

Auto Zoom

The Zoom scale reads in the opposite direction
as the full view scale. The bottom will always be
at the 7 O’clock position. Objects will appear
above this point. You can only see objects as

far off the bottom as the zoom setting permits,

which is 6 feet. Objects above this level will only
appear on the right side, which shows the entire
water column.

Activate Auto Zoom by switching the Mode
Control to the AZ selection on the right or the
left. The right selection operates Auto Zoom
at the normal power level. The left selection
operates Auto Zoom in Low Power Mode.
