USING THE PRO CRAFT UNIT
SIMULATOR OPERATION
Actual depth capability depends on factors such as bottom hardness, water
conditions, and transducer installation. Units will typically read to deeper
depths in fresh water than in salt water.
SIMULATOR OPERATION
The Pro Craft unit contains a simulator that
allows you to use the unit as if you are on the
water. The simulator is invaluable for learn-
ing how to operate the Pro Craft unit.
There are two ways to start the simulator. If
the unit is powered off, press and hold the
POWER button for approximately three sec-
onds until you hear a continuous chirp.
The simulator can also be started by selecting the Simulator option on the
start-up screen after you power-up the unit. When this screen is shown,
simply press the DOWN ARROW until “Simulator” is highlighted. When the
screen times out, the unit will be in simulator mode.
When in simulator operation, the Pro Craft unit responds to control inputs
as if it is in actual operation, so feel free to experiment, or to customize the
unit for your particular operation.
To exit Simulator mode, power the unit off.
When in simulator mode, the word “simulator” appears on the
display, blinking on and off, indicating the information on-screen
is not real sonar data.
FEATURE MEMORY
If your Pro Craft unit is installed with a transducer connected, any changes
you make to the set-up or User Options (see Control Functions) while in
Simulator are retained in the unit’s memory. This allows you to use simula-
tor to experiment with the various set-up options, and retain your selected
settings for normal operation.
