USING THE 320 SERIES

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

When operating with the Simulator on and the transducer connected changes
made to Chart Speed, RTS Window, Surface Clutter, White Line, Contrast, and
the Units Control Panels are permanently remembered. When a transducer is
not connected, no changes are remembered.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Four knobs on the 

320

control all user settings: M

ODE

, G

AIN

,

C

ONTROL

P

ANEL

and R

ANGE

.

M

ODE

K

NOB

The M

ODE

knob selects how the 

320

locates the bottom

and graphs the information on the display. Turn the knob
until the pointer aligns with the desired mode of operation.
See Modes of Operation for more information.

G

AIN

K

NOB

The G

AIN

knob controls the gain (sometimes called

sensitivity) of the sonar receiver. G

AIN

also powers the unit

on or off. When the 

320

is off, press G

AIN

to turn the unit

on. Press and hold G

AIN

to turn the unit off.

Increasing the gain shows faint sonar returns from
small bait fish and suspended debris in the water,
however the display may become too cluttered in
some water conditions. Increased gain is also
beneficial at deeper depths to maintain a good
bottom image and adequately show sonar returns
from deep objects. Decreasing the Gain eliminates
the clutter from the display, however if adjusted
too low may not show many faint sonar returns
that could be fish. 

Turn the G

AIN

knob clockwise to increase the gain;

turn counterclockwise to decrease the gain. As you
turn the knob, only new sonar information being
graphed shows the affect of the gain change.

High Gain

Medium Gain

Low Gain
