Normal Operation
Use
Normal
operation for on-the-water operation with a transducer
connected. In addition, your 900 Series™ uses advanced transducer
detection methods to determine if a transducer is connected. If a functioning
transducer is connected, Normal operation will be selected automatically at
power up and your 900 Series™ can be used on the water.
Exit Normal operation by powering your 900 Series™ off.
Simulator
Use the
Simulator
to learn how to use your 900 Series™ before taking your
boat on the water. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on-the-
water operation, providing a randomly-updated display. We recommend going
through this manual while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function
and affect the display the way they actually do when in Normal operation.
NOTE:
To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important to select Simulator
manually from the Start-Up Options menu as opposed to letting the 900 Series™
enter Simulator automatically (as it will if a transducer is not connected and you
do nothing during power up). Manually selecting Simulator from the Start-Up
Options menu allows you to pre-configure your 900 Series™ for on-the-water
operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use.
A Simulation message will appear on the display periodically to remind you
that you are using the Simulator.
Exit the Simulator by powering your 900 Series™ off.
