screen. If the depth is deeper or shallower than the ranges
on the display, the bottom contour will not be visible.
The manual range settings made to the
L
EGEND
1000 S
ERIES
default to factory settings after the unit is turned off.
Chart Speed
C
HART
S
PEED
selects the speed
at which the bottom
information moves across the
display. Options available
range from 1 (very slow) to 8 (very fast). Selecting a
faster rate shows more information in the
C
HART
W
INDOW
,
but it moves across the display very quickly. Selecting
a slower rate keeps the information on the display
longer, but the chart information becomes
compressed and may be more difficult to interpret.
Setting
C
HART
S
PEED
in relation to boat speed is often
preferred.
The
C
HART
S
PEED
setting is retained in memory after the
L
EGEND
1000 S
ERIES
is turned off. The factory setting is
6
.
Sonar View
S
ONAR
V
IEW
(Deep Models only)
selects the source of the
sonar information being
displayed. 200kHz displays
sonar information and
F
ISH
ID
from the 200kHz beam
only. 50kHz displays sonar information and
F
ISH
ID
from
the 50kHz beam only.
S
PLIT
S
CREEN
presents the sonar
information from the 200kHz
and 50kHz beams
simultaneously in side-by-
side windows.
200
K
H
Z
/50
K
H
Z
displays the sonar
information from the 200kHz
beam and target information
from the 50kHz beam.
The
S

setting is
retained in memory after the
unit is turned off. The
factory setting is
200
K

.
Light
L
IGHT
activates the display
backlight and selects the
brightness level. The
backlight is manually-controlled except when the unit
first powers up. During initial power up, the backlight
turns on at full brightness so the display will be visible
at night. The backlight will then begin to decrease in
intensity automatically until it is off in order to save
energy. Selecting the
C
ONTROL
P
ANEL
L
IGHT
choice stops the
automatic off process, keeping the backlight on at the
intensity level selected.
The Light setting defaults to factory settings after the
Legend 1000 Series is turned off. The factory setting
is
O
N
full at power up and automatic decrease to
O
FF
.
Contrast
C
ONTRAST
enhances the
viewability of the LCD by
making it darker or lighter.
Selecting a higher number
darkens the display; selecting a lower number lightens
the display. The
L
EGEND
1000 S
ERIES
uses sophisticated
electronics to adjust the contrast level automatically;
however, at times of extreme heat or cold, manually
adjusting the contrast for best display may be needed.
The
C
ONTRAST
setting is retained in memory after the unit is turned off as
long as it is set between 6 and 10. The factory setting is
8
.
RTS Window
RTS W
INDOW
selects the width of
the window dedicated to R
EAL
T
IME
S
ONAR
™. Selecting
N
ARROW
decreases the width of the
RTS W
INDOW
leaving more
space for the
C
HART
W
INDOW
, but some sonar returns will
not be visible. Selecting
W
IDE
makes the
RTS W
INDOW
wider and shows more of the sonar intensity
information, but less space on the LCD is available for
sonar history. Selecting
O
FF
turns off the
RTS W
INDOW
and
the entire LCD shows sonar history.
Note: When the RTS Window is adjusted to Wide, no grayscale
information is shown.
The
RTS W
INDOW
setting is retained in memory after the
L
EGEND
1000 S
ERIES
is turned off. The factory setting is
N
