3.4. Depth functions (optional)
To change between Log and Depth information press MODE . This
function will display depth in metres, feet or fathoms. To change unit
see 4.2.6. A depth sounder measures the time it takes for a sound
pulse transmitted from the transducer, to bounce on the bottom and
be received by the transducer again. The strength of the sound
pulse decreases with the depth and is also affected
by temperature and pollution in the water. A soft bottom with a lot of
vegetation will also decrease the strength of the echo, which can result
in poor reception by the receiver. If no echo is registrated the depth
reading will be three dashes i.e. no echo.
