In murky or muddy water, it is often helpful to reduce the gain. This
prevents the display from being cluttered with sonar returns from debris
or suspended particles. In very clear or very deep water, it may be helpful
to increase the gain since even the smallest sonar return may be of
interest to the user. 

3. Adjust the B

ACKLIGHT

through three settings. With the 

128

on, a second

short push of the G

AIN

will turn on the Backlight at full brightness,

another push will set the backlight at its dimmed setting. The third setting
of Backlight OFF is set with another push. The backlight is very effective
for low-light and nighttime operation. When the backlight is on, the 

128

will consume more power than with the backlight off. This is important
when using the 

128

in a portable configuration powered by a separate

battery, or when powering the unit from a trolling motor battery.

4. G

AIN

can also be used to go directly into S

IMULATOR

mode. To enter

simulator, with the unit powered off, press and hold G

AIN

until multiple

chirps are heard, indicating switching on in the S

IMULATOR

mode. (see page
