Turning on the A-Scope
The a-scope is a vertical flasher along the right side of the full-
screen sonar view. This feature expands the most recently
received sonar data so that it is easier to see. It can also be
helpful for detecting fish that are close to the bottom.

Sonar Gain and Noise Settings
You can adjust the amount of gain and noise on a sonar screen.
The gain setting controls the sensitivity of the sonar receiver to
compensate for water depth and water clarity. Increasing the
gain shows more detail, and decreasing the gain reduces
screen clutter.
NOTE:
Setting the gain on one page applies the setting to all
the pages.

Adjusting the Contrast
You can control the range and intensity of colors by adjusting
the brightness and contrast for DownVü transducers.
Contrast controls the range of colors between high intensity
targets and low intensity noise. A high contrast setting displays
a greater difference in coloring between noise and targets. A
low contrast setting has more mid-tone colors.

Adjusting the Color Intensity
Brightness controls the intensity of the coloring. A higher
brightness value makes targets easier to see by using higher
intensity coloring. A lower brightness value hides background
noise by using lower intensity coloring.
