Setup Menu
The setup menu enables you to customize the
‘look and feel’ of the instrument. There are six
parameters that can be adjusted. Lamp intensity,
units of measure, keel offset, training mode, LCD
contrast and white line operation.
Lamp Intensity The intensity of the night vision
lights can be adjusted from 1 to 7 and OFF.
Units Of Measure Depth can be displayed in
either feet (FT), meters (M), or fathoms (FA).
Keel Offset The depth of water is normally
measured from the face of the transducer to
the bottom. You can enter an offset which will
be added or subtracted from the calculated
depth before it is displayed on the LCD.
Entering a positive offset can be used to
display the depth of water below the keel.
Entering a negative offset can be used to
display the depth of the water below the keel.
Entering a positive offset can be used to
show depth from the water surface to the
bottom. When entering a zero as an offset,
the fishfinder will display depth of water below
the transducer.
Simulation Mode This setting will enable a
training mode which allows you to learn to
use all the different features in this instrument.
LCD Contrast You can adjust contrast level from
0 to 7 to match your preference. Special
circuitry will also automatically adjust the
contrast for changes due to temperature.
White Line This feature displays the bottom
signal as a thin line, with a variable width band
beneath it. This indicates the bottom hardness
and also allows you to separate targets near
the bottom of the sea bed. This function will
also remove most surface echo signals from
the top of the screen.
