Simulator
Use the Simulator to learn how to use your Matrix™ Fishing System 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 Fishing System 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 Matrix™ Fishing System for on the water operation. Any menu changes
you make will be saved for later use.
A message will appear on the display
periodically to remind you that you are using
the Simulator.
Exit the Simulator by powering your Fishing
System off.

Start-Up Options Menu
Press the MENU key when the Title screen is displayed to access the Start-Up
Options menu.
Use the UP or DOWN 4-WAY Cursor keys to position
the cursor, then the RIGHT Cursor key to select one
of the following choices. If you wait too long, the
system will default to whichever menu mode
happens to be highlighted:
• Normal
• Simulator
• System Status
• PC Connect
(use with PC Connect Cable)
.
See the following paragraphs for more information
about each of these choices.
Normal Operation
Use Normal operation for on the water operation with a transducer connected. In
addition, your Matrix™ Fishing System 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 Fishing
System can be used on the water.
Exit Normal operation by powering your Fishing System off.
