Adjusting the Level of Detail
You can control the level of detail and noise shown on the
sonar screen either by adjusting the gain for traditional
transducers or by adjusting the brightness for Garmin
ClearVü transducers.
If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns
on the screen, you can lower the gain or brightness to
remove lower intensity returns and noise. If you want to
see all return information, you can increase the gain or
brightness to see more information on the screen. This
also increases noise, and can make it more difficult to
recognize actual returns.

Adjusting the Color Intensity
You can adjust the intensity of colors and highlight areas
of interest on the sonar screen by adjusting the color
gain for traditional transducers or the contrast for Garmin
ClearVü/SideVü transducers. This setting works best after
you have adjusted the level of detail shown on the screen
using the gain or brightness settings.
If you want to highlight smaller fish targets or create a
higher intensity display of a target, you can increase the
color gain or contrast setting. This causes a loss in the
differentiation of the high intensity returns at the bottom.
If you want to reduce the intensity of the return, you can
reduce the color gain or contrast.
