FISH ID
The Fish ID feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as fish.
The microcomputer analyses all echoes and eliminates surface clutter,
thermoclines, and other signals that are undesirable. In most instances,
remaining targets are fish. The Fish ID feature displays symbols on the
screen in place of the actual fish echoes. There are four fish symbol sizes:
tiny, small, medium, and large. These are used to designate the relative
size between targets. In other words, it displays a small fish symbol when
it thinks a target is a small fish, a medium fish symbol on a larger target, etc.
The microcomputer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled. It can't distin-
guish between fish and other suspended objects such as trotlines, turtles,
submerged floats, air bubbles, etc. Individual tree limbs extending out-
wards from a group of limbs is the hardest object for the Fish ID feature
to distinguish from fish.
You may see Fish ID symbols on the screen when actually, there are no
fish. Practice with the unit in both the Fish ID mode and without to become
more familiar with the Fish ID feature.
When the Ultra Classic is turned on,
the Fish ID feature is automatically
turned on, also. To turn the Fish ID
feature off, press the menu key, then
press the arrow keys until the FISH ID
menu appears. Press the left arrow
key to turn the fish ID feature off. To
turn the Fish ID feature on again,
repeat the above steps, but press the
right arrow key until the "ON" is high-
lighted. Any targets the microcom-
puter determines are fish will be dis-
played as fish symbols.
Remember, the Fish ID feature can’t be used when the Ultra Classic is in
the manual mode. If you turn the Fish ID feature on when the Ultra Classic
is in manual, the microcomputer will turn the automatic feature on. If you
turn automatic off when the Fish ID feature is on, the Fish ID feature will
be turned off also.
FISHTRACK™
The FishTrack feature shows the depth of a fish symbol when it appears
on the display. This lets you accurately gauge the depth of targets. This
feature is available only when the Fish ID feature is on.
