Operating the WSL Accessory
When the WSL Accessory is attached to the control head, a SmartCast WSL View is added to the control head view rotation.
When you press the VIEW key repeatedly, views are displayed cyclically. Any of the views, including the SmartCast WSL
View, can be removed or added to the rotation list using the Select Views menu choice from the Setup Menu when in
Advanced Mode (see your control head Operation Manual for more information).
The following graphic shows the
SmartCast
WSL View:
NOTE:
When the RSS is in the water within line-of-site of the WSL, the SmartCast WSL View will display sonar returns from the RSS. When
the RSS is not in the water or reception is being blocked, the "SmartCast WSL signal not detected" message will be displayed.
The SmartCast WSL View displays underwater sonar information in an easy to understand format. The top of the display
corresponds to the water surface, and the bottom of the display corresponds to the selected Depth Range (see Depth
Range). The display varies as the area under the RSS changes. Reeling in the RSS at a slow and steady rate will allow you to
graph the bottom for structure, detail and fish. Digital readouts provide precise information for bottom contour, depth and
fish locations below the RSS.
Underwater conditions vary greatly, so some experience and interpretation is needed to realize all the benefits of the WSL
Accessory - use the picture above as a guide to the most common conditions and practice using the RSS over known bottom types.
WSL PIP View
The Picture in Picture (PIP) WSL View will appear if the PIP menu choice has been either turned "on" or set to "auto" from
the SmartCast WSL menu (

PIP View is superimposed on every view in the view rotation with the exception of the WSL full screen view. Use the 4-Way
Cursor Control key to re-position the PIP view on the display. The following graphic shows the WSL PIP View superimposed

NOTE:
When the RSS is in the water within line-of-site of the WSL, the PIP View will display sonar returns from the RSS. When the RSS is not
in the water or reception is being blocked, the “SmartCast WSL signal not detected” message will be displayed.
