Owner`s manual

On-screen Control: Sets the behavior of the buttons on the
sonar screen control. This is available for touchscreen
devices.
Range Lines: Shows the vertical lines indicating the distance to
the right and left of the boat. This setting is available for
SideVü sonar view.
Color Scheme: Sets the color scheme of the sonar view. This
setting might be available in the Appearance menu.
The high contrast color schemes provide darker color
assignments to the low intensity returns. The low contrast
color schemes provide color assignments to the low intensity
returns that are similar to the background color.
Appearance: See Sonar Appearance Settings.
Overlay Numbers: Sets the data shown on the sonar screen.
Advanced: See Advanced Sonar Settings.
Installation: Restores the default sonar settings.
RealVü Sonar Settings
From a RealVü sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup.
Point Colors: Sets a different color palette for the sonar return
points.
Bottom Style: Sets the style for the bottom. When you are in
deep water, you can set this setting to the Points and
manually set the range shallower.
Bottom Colors: Sets the color scheme for the bottom.
Color Key: Shows a legend of the depths the colors represent.
On-screen Control: Sets what the buttons on the sonar screen
control. This is available for touchscreen devices.
Overlay Numbers: Sets the data shown on the sonar screen.
Installation: Configures the transducer (Transducer Installation
Settings).
LiveVü Sonar Settings
From a LiveVü sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup.
Color Scheme: Sets the color palette.
Trails: Sets the how long the trails appear on the screen. The
trails show the movement of the target.
Grid Overlay: Shows a grid of range lines.
Noise Reject: Reduces the interference and the amount of
clutter shown on the sonar screen.
Scroll History: Shows the sonar history in a traditional sonar
view.
Overlay Numbers: Sets the data shown on the sonar screen.
Installation: Configures the transducer (Transducer Installation
Settings).
Sonar Appearance Settings
From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Appearance.
Color Scheme: Sets the color scheme.
Edge: Highlights the strongest signal from the bottom to help
define the hardness or softness of the signal.
A-Scope: Displays a vertical flasher along the right side of the
screen that shows instantaneously the range to targets along
a scale.
Pic. Advance: Allows the sonar picture to advance faster by
drawing more than one column of data on the screen for
each column of sounder data received. This is especially
helpful when you are using the sounder in deep water,
because the sonar signal takes longer to travel to the water
bottom and back to the transducer.
The 1/1 setting draws one column of information on the
screen per sounder return. The 2/1 setting draws two
columns of information on the screen per sounder return, and
so on for the 4/1 and 8/1 settings.
Fish Symbols: Sets how the sonar interprets suspended
targets.
Sonar Alarm Settings
NOTE: Some settings require external accessories.
Select Settings > Alarms > Sonar.
Shallow Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is less
than the specified value.
Deep Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is greater
than the specified value.
Water Temp.: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer
reports a temperature that is 2°F (1.1°C) above or below the
specified temperature.
Fish: Sets an alarm to sound when the device detects a
suspended target.
• sets the alarm to sound when fish of all sizes are
detected.
• sets the alarm to sound only when medium or large
fish are detected.
• sets the alarm to sound only when large fish are
detected.
Advanced Sonar Settings
NOTE: Not all options and settings apply to all models, sounder
modules, and transducers.
From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Advanced.
Interference: Adjusts the sensitivity to reduce the effects of
interference from nearby sources of noise.
The lowest interference setting that achieves the desired
improvement should be used to remove interference from the
screen. Correcting installation issues that cause noise is the
best way to eliminate interference.
Surface Noise: Hides surface noise to help reduce clutter.
Wider beam widths (lower frequencies) can show more
targets, but can generate more surface noise.
Color Gain: See Adjusting the Level of Detail.
TVG: Adjusts the appearance of returns to compensate for
weakened sonar signals in deeper water, and reduces the
appearance of noise near the surface. When the value of this
setting is increased, the colors associated with low-level
noise and fish targets appear more consistent through
various water depths. This setting also reduces the noise
near the surface of the water.
Transducer Installation Settings
NOTE: Not all options and settings apply to all models, sounder
modules, and transducers.
From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Installation.
Restore Sonar Defaults: Restores the factory default settings
for the sonar view.
Transducer Type: Allows you to select the type of transducer
that is connected to the device.
Shift: Allows you to set the depth range on which the sonar is
focused. This enables you to zoom in to an area within the
focused depth.
Flip Left/Right: Changes the orientation of the SideVü sonar
view when the transducer is installed backward.
Flipped: Sets the orientation of the Panoptix sonar view when
the transducer is installed with the cables pointing toward the
port side of the boat.
Beam Width: Sets the width of the Panoptix transducer beam.
Narrow beam widths are better for high-speed operation and
rough sea conditions. They also can improve bottom
definition and thermocline definition.
