Section 3:

Basic Sonar Operation

This section addresses the unit's

most

basic

sonar operations. The

instructions presented in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4,

Sonar Options & Other Features

, will discuss other more advanced

functions and utilities. Material in Sec. 4 is arranged in alphabetical
order.

Before you turn on the unit, it's a good idea to learn about the different
keys, the Main Menu, the four Page screens and how they all work
together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get on the water, turn to the
one-page

Quick Reference

on page 47.
