USING THE TCR ID-1

 

OPERATING THE TCR ID-1 

 

OPERATING THE TCR ID-1

 

 
Your new TCR ID-1 offers unique automatic features, as well as many adjustable ones. 
If you're learning to operate the TCR ID -1 with its simulator, follow the directions listed 
at “Built-In Simulator” on page 16, and then come back to this page. If you’re learning to 
use your TCR ID-1 using actual on-the-water readings, proceed with the following 
instructions. 

 
Power:

 

 
Pressing this button once turns the TCR ID -1 on. Pressing it once again 
turns it off. When the unit is turned off, holding this button down for about 2 
seconds activates the built-in simulator. 

 
Stop:

 

 
By pressing this button once, you can stop or “freeze” the display. Pressing 
the button once again re-starts the display at its previous speed setting. 

 
Light:

 

 
The TCR ID-1 features a 2-level backlight that evenly lights up the display 
from behind the screen. Pressing the “light” button once gives you a soft 
glow that is ideal for night fishing because it won’t interfere with your night 
vision. Press the button again for a brighter light, making the display easy to 
read at dusk when it can be harder to see. Pressing the button a third time 
turns off the backIight. 

 
Select System:

 

 
The TCR ID-1 Select System commands an amazing number of functions with only four 
buttons: Select, Up and Down arrows, and On/Off. 
 
When you press the Select button, each function appears in a block on the screen with 
easy-to-understand instructions for using the function. You use the Up and Down 
arrows and the On/Off button to adjust the functions. Then, the Instructions disappear, 
returning the display to its full screen reading. 
 
Select System functions are “active”; that is, the last function displayed on the screen 
can be adjusted without pressing the select button again. This is valuable in 2 ways.  

 
Example 1: Readjusting a function. 

 
If bottom alarm was the last function used, you can adjust it again by pressing one of 
the arrow buttons or the On/Off button.
