Bottom Style
: Sets the style for the bottom. When you
are in deep water, you can select the Points option and
manually set the range to a shallower value.
Color Key
: Shows a legend of the depths the colors
represent.
On-screen Control
: Shows or hides the on-screen

Panoptix Transducer Installation Settings
From a Panoptix sonar view, select
Options

Installation
.
Install Depth
: Sets the depth below the water line where
the Panoptix transducer is mounted. Entering the actual
depth at which the transducer is mounted results in
a more accurate visual presentation of what is in the
water.
Bow Offset
: Sets the distance between the bow and the
forward view Panoptix transducer installation location.
This allows you to view the forward distance from the
bow instead of the transducer location.
This applies to Panoptix transducers in the FrontVü,
LiveVü Forward, and RealVü 3D Forward sonar views.
Beam Width
: Sets the width of the down view Panoptix
transducer beam. Narrow beam widths allow you to see
deeper and farther. Wider beam widths allow you to
see more coverage area.
This applies to Panoptix transducers in the FrontVü,
LiveVü Down, and LiveVü Forward sonar views.
Use AHRS
: Enables the internal attitude heading
and reference system (AHRS) sensors to detect
the installation angle of the Panoptix transducer
automatically. When this setting is turned off, you can
enter the specific installation angle for the transducer
using the Pitch Angle setting. Many forward view
transducers are installed at a 45-degree angle and
down view transducers are installed at a zero-degree
angle.
Flipped
: Sets the orientation of the Panoptix sonar view
when the down view transducer is installed with the
cables pointing toward the port side of the boat.
This applies to Panoptix transducers in the LiveVü
Down, RealVü 3D Down, and RealVü 3D Historical
sonar views.
Calibrate Compass
: Calibrates the internal compass
in the Panoptix transducer (
).
This applies to Panoptix transducers with an internal
compass, such as the PS21-TR transducer.
Orientation
: Controls if the transducer is in down or
forward installation mode. The Auto setting uses the
AHRS sensor to determine the orientation.
This applies to PS22 transducers.
Restore Sonar Defaults
: Restores the sonar settings to
the factory default values.
Setting the Bow Offset
For forward view Panoptix transducers, you can enter a
bow offset to compensate the forward distance readings
for the transducer installation location. This allows you to
view the forward distance from the bow instead of the
transducer installation location.
This feature applies to Panoptix transducers in the
FrontVü, LiveVü Forward, and RealVü 3D Forward sonar
views.

Enter the distance measured, and select
Done
.
On the applicable sonar view, the forward range shifts by
the distance you entered.
Calibrating the Compass
Before you can calibrate the compass, the transducer
must be installed on the shaft far enough away from
the trolling motor to avoid magnetic interference, and
deployed in the water. Calibration must be of sufficient
quality to enable the internal compass.
NOTE:
To use the compass, you must mount the
transducer on the transom or the trolling motor shaft. The
compass may not work when you mount the transducer on
the motor.
NOTE:
For best results, you should use a heading sensor
such as the SteadyCast
™
heading sensor. The heading
sensor shows the direction the transducer is pointing
relative to the boat.
NOTE:
Compass calibration is available only for
transducers with an internal compass, such as the PS21-
TR transducer.
You can begin turning your boat before calibrating, but
you must fully rotate your boat 1.5 times during calibration.
