    b) Electrical noise nearby can interfere with the sonar, which 
    will cause some weaker signals being eliminated.

6. The display become so cluttered that you even 
   could not achieve a clear bottom

    Such cluttered display maybe caused because:

    a) The water is too low 
    b) The water is too turbid 
    c) There are so much debris in the water,  

7. The sonar unit can not reach 300m. There is a 
   abnormal display on the display, and when the 
   bait boat is about 60~70m far away, the sonar unit 
   stop working.

   a) Please confirm the sensor is mounted at the proper location 
   on your bait boat. A improper mounting location will cause 
   abnormal display.

   c) Please check the RTS sensor installation, and confirm 
   the antenna mounted on your bait boat is correctly connected 
   to the control box through the antenna-extended  cable.  

  d) The radio performance is easily effected by cloudy or 
   rainy day, which will cause the Remote Control distance
   decreasing greatly.
