Sonar

The full-screen page, the split frequency page, and the flasher page are visual representations of the area beneath your boat. You can customize these sonar views.

Full-Screen Sonar

You can see a full-view graph of sonar readings from a transducer on the full screen. Select Traditional or DownVü

DownVü Sonar View

NOTE: Not all models support Down Vü sonar technology and transducers.

• DownVü high-frequency sonar provides a clearer picture below the boat, providing a more detailed representation of structures the boat is passing over.
• Traditional transducers emit a conical beam. The DownVü scanning sonar technology emits a narrow beam, similar to the shape of the beam in a copying machine. This beam provides a clearer, picture-like image of what is beneath the boat.

SideVü Sonar View

• NOTE: Not all models support SideVü sonar and scanning transducers.
• NOTE: To receive SideVü scanning sonar, you need a compatible transducer and fishfinder.

SideVü scanning sonar technology shows you a picture of what lies to the sides of the boat. You can use this as a search tool to find structures and fish.

Split-Screen Frequency

You can view two frequencies from the split frequency screen.

Flasher

The flasher shows sonar information on a circular depth scale, indicating what is beneath your boat. It is organized as a ring that starts at the top and progresses clockwise. Depth is indicated by the scale inside the ring. Sonar information flashes on the ring, when it is received at the depth, indicated. The colors indicate different strengths of the sonar return.

• Select Flasher.

Split-Zoom View

On the split-zoom page, you can see a full-view graph of sonar readings on the right side of the screen, and a magnified portion of that graph on the left side of the screen.

• From a sonar screen, select E => Split Zoom.

Selecting the Transducer Type

If you are not using the included transducer, you must set the transducer type to enable the sonar to function optimally. If you are using the included transducer, you do not need to complete these steps.

1. 1 Select Settings > My Vessel > Transducer Type. 
2. Select the type of transducer you are using.

Creating a Waypoint on the Sonar Screen Using Your Present Location

• Compass Tape: Shows the compass tape data bar.
• Depth: Shows the transducer’s current depth.
• Water Temp.: Shows the current water temperature.

Sonar Gain and Noise Settings

You can adjust the amount of gain and noise on a sonar screen. The gain setting controls the sensitivity of the sonar receiver to compensate for water depth and water clarity. Increasing the gain shows more detail, and decreasing the gain reduces screen clutter.

NOTE: Setting the gain on one page applies the setting to all the pages.

Setting the Gain Manually

1. From a sonar screen, select > Gain.
2. Select A or › until you begin to see noise in the water portion of the screen.
3. Select ~ or ‹ to decrease the gain.

Setting the Gain Automatically

NOTE: To set the gain on the split-frequency screen, you must set each frequency separately.

1. SelectE > Gain.
2. Select Enable Auto Gain, if applicable.
3. Select an option:
   •  To display higher sensitivity, weaker sonar returns with more noise automatically, select Auto High. 
   • To display medium-sensitivity sonar returns with moderate noise automatically, select Auto Med.
   • To display lower-sensitivity sonar returns with less noise automatically, select Auto Low.

Hiding Surface Noise
You can hide or display the sonar returns near the surface of the water. Hiding surface noise helps reduce screen clutter.

NOTE: Setting the surface noise to show or hide on one screen applies that setting to all screens. This feature may not be available with all transducers.

• From a sonar screen, select; = > Sonar Setup > Noise Reject > Surface Noise.

Interference

The Interference setting adjusts sonar sensitivity to reduce the effects of interference from nearby sources of noise.

Setting the Interference

1. From a sonar screen, select > Sonar Setup > Noise Reject > Interference. 
2. Select an option.

Setting the Bottom Search Limit

You can set a maximum depth at which the auto range feature searches for the bottom. A lower limit acquires data about the bottom faster than a higher limit.

1. From a sonar screen, select = > Sonar Setup > Bottom Search Limit. 
2. Select a range.

Setting the Scroll Speed

You can set the rate at which the sonar image moves across the screen. A higher scroll speed shows more detail, especially while moving or trolling. A lower scroll speed displays sonar information on the screen longer. Setting the scroll speed on one sonar view applies to all the sonar views.

Configuring the Appearance of Suspended Targets

• NOTE: Configuring the appearance of suspended targets on one screen applies that setting to all screens.
• NOTE: This feature is not available on all sonar views.

1. From a sonar screen, select Appearance > Fish Symbols.
2. Select an option. ; > Sonar Setup >

Turning on the A-Scope

Setting the Keel Offset

You can enter a keel offset to compensate the surface reading for the depth of a keel, making it possible to measure water depth or depth below the keel instead of depth below the transducer. Enter a positive number to offset for a keel. You can enter a negative number to compensate for a large vessel that may draw several feet of water.

1. Complete an action, based on the location of the transducer: 
   • If the transducer is installed at the water line, measure the distance from the transducer location to the keel of the boat. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a positive number to display the depth below the keel.
   • If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel 2, measure the distance from the transducer to the water line. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a negative number to display water depth. Enter a 0 in this value to display the depth below the keel and the depth below the transducer.
2. Select Settings > My Vessel > Keel Offset.
3. Select + or – based on the location of the transducer.
4. Enter the distance measured in step 1

Troubleshooting

My device does not turn on

• Push the power cable into the back of the device. Even if the cable seems to be connected, you should push it firmly so that it is fully seated.
• Make sure the power source is generating power. You can check this in several ways. For example, you can check whether other devices powered by the source are functioning.
• Check the fuse in the power cable.
• The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of the red wire of the power cable. Check that the proper size fuse is installed. Refer to the label on the cable or the installation instructions for the exact fuse size needed. Check the fuse to make sure there is still a connection inside of the fuse. You can test the fuse using a multimeter. If the fuse is good, the multimeter reads 0 ohm.
• Check to make sure the device is receiving at least 10 Vdc, but 12 Vdc is recommended
• To check the voltage, measure the female power and ground sockets of the power cable for DC voltage. If the voltage is less than 10 Vdc, the device will not turn on.

My sonar does not work

• Push the transducer cable into the back of the device. Even if the cable seems to be connected, you should push it firmly so that it is fully seated.
• Check to make sure the sonar transmission is turned on.
