USING THE LEGEND 3000 SERIES
Performance
The
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
represents a new way of thinking about fishing
electronics. It combines state-of-the-art electronics with the detail of a
traditional sonar paper chart recorder to create the fishfinder of the future.
Minimal, easy-to-understand knob controls provide access to the most
important features. The
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
eliminates confusion created by
too many buttons and menus. High technology, high performance, with “back
to basics” operation makes the
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
the ideal choice of the
serious angler.
The
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
uses sonar to locate and define underwater objects.
Sonar technology is based on sound waves sent into the water in a controlled
“beam” from the transducer. Objects within this beam reflect the sonar signal
back. The
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
very accurately measures the distance to these
objects based on the time it takes for the sonar to return. Each object (bottom,
fish or structure) reflects the sonar uniquely, providing information about its
makeup. The
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
draws this returned information on the
display.
The
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
operates in a wide variety of water conditions, from 2'
to 600' (2000' for the Legend 3000 Deep and 3005 Deep Models). Actual depth
capability depends on many factors such as bottom hardness, water conditions,
and transducer installation. All sonar units typically read to deeper depths in
fresh water than in salt water.
Deep Models Additional Performance
If you purchased a Legend 3000 Deep or a Legend 3005 Deep Model, your
Legend product is equipped with a 50kHz/200kHz dual beam transducer
capable of performing to a depth of 2000 feet. In addition, your unit contains
several extra features that will enhance its sonar performance in deep water.
S

both beams simultaneously. F

and show their depth and relative size from either beam.
Powering Up the Unit
After installation, turn the
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
on by momentarily pressing the
G
AIN
knob. An audible chirp sounds as the unit turns on. If the unit detects
that the transducer is connected and is in water, the
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
begins to show sonar information on the display. If the transducer is not
detected, the unit starts up in
S
IMULATOR
mode.
To power the unit off at any time, press and hold the
G
AIN
knob for several
seconds until the unit turns off.
Simulator and Feature Memory
The
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
contains a
S
IMULATOR
that allows you to use the
unit as though you are on the water.
The
S
IMULATOR
is an invaluable aid to
learning the features and functions of the
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
. All controls
are operational and settings can be changed to experiment with various
features. An indicator appears at the bottom left of the display when
operating in
S
IMULATOR
mode.
There are two ways to start the
S
IMULATOR
. The method to use depends on
whether a transducer is connected.
Power On with No
Transducer
If the
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
is powered
on with no transducer connected, it
starts up in
S
IMULATOR
mode. No other
steps are needed. In this mode, the
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
does not
remember any setting changes after power off, but defaults to the factory
settings.
Power On with Transducer Connected
If the
L
EGEND
3000 S
ERIES
is powered on with the transducer connected,
the
S
IMULATOR
must be turned on manually. To turn on the
S
IMULATOR
manually:
1. Press the Control Panel knob to display the list of
options.
2. Rotate the Control Panel knob to scroll through the list
until Simulator is visible and is highlighted on the
display.
3. Turn the Range knob to turn Simulator from Off to
On.
4. Press the Control Panel knob to clear the screen.
When operating with the Simulator on and the transducer connected,
changes made to the following Control Panel choices are permanently
remembered: Chart Speed, RTS Window, Surface Clutter, Contrast,
White Line, Units, and in International Models, Language.
