There are three different size fish sym-
bols used to indicate the intensity of the
sonar return. While signal intensity is a
good indicator of relative fish size, differ-
ent species of fish have different sonar
characteristics, so it is not always possi-
ble to distinguish fish size between vary-
ing species. The signal intensity is "nor-
malized" for depth so that a small fish
close to the boat does not appear as a
large fish symbol.
ID+ adds an additional piece of informa-
tion to help the user locate fish. On
selected fish symbols, the digital depth
of the designated fish is drawn to help
locate the fish vertically. This is especially
helpful in setting bait depths or for downrigger operation.
The fish symbols indicate the sonar beam the fish is detected in. This
gives you a reliable indicator of side to side location of the fish relative to
the boat. Fish symbols that are hollow are detected in the wide beam and
are around the boat. Solid fish symbols represent fish detected in the nar-
row beam and are directly under the boat.
CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The Pro Craft unit uses a simple five button keypad for
all user input. Press any button and an audible “chirp”
confirms the control input. If a button has no function
or is inappropriate for the situation, an audible “error”
is heard. The unit sounds multiple chirps.
Power.
The Power button powers the Pro Craft unit
up for normal operation. When the unit is on, POWER
turns the unit off. POWER can also be used to go
directly into Simulator mode. To enter simulator, with
the unit powered off, press and hold POWER for sever-
