• Sensitivity Adjust?— determines how sensitive the sounder is to sonar echoes. High

sensitivity may show clutter which can conceal fish, while low sensitivity may not

show all fish.

• Chart Speed Adjust?— allows you to select the speed at which the sonar display

scrolls across the screen.

• Whiteline Adjust?— enables you to select how the area of strongest sonar return is

3. Press the 

R

keypad once in any direction to display a window range definition

field.  Enter a value for the TOP (depth at which the window will start) and the SPAN
