On the plotter display, own ship tracks, at the speed selected, a figure eight course or any course you enter, starting from position entered. All controls are operative; you may set destination, enter waypoints, etc. Simulated sounder operation is also provided. 1. Press the [MENU] key, followed by the soft keys CONFIGURATION and SYSTEM MENU to open the system menu. 2.
2. VIDEO SOUNDER OPERATION 2.1 Principle of Operation The video sounder determines the distance between its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake bottom or seabed and displays the results on screen. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic wave transmitted through water travels at a nearly constant speed of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second.
2.2 2. Press the soft key MODE/FREQ. The display changes as below. Sounder Display Description The figure below shows all indications and markers which may appear on the normal sounder display.

Selecting sounder display mode Bottom-zoom display There are five display modes from which to choose: normal, marker zoom, bottom zoom, bottom lock and A-scope. To select a display, press the soft key SNDR FUNC on the normal sounder display to show the sounder function window, and press ▲ or ▼ to select the display. Press the soft key RETURN to close the window. This mode expands bottom and bottom fish echoes two to five times to vertical size of the screen, and is useful for determining bottom hardness.
4. Press ▲ or ▼ to select STD or WIDE. A-scope display This display shows echoes at each transmission with amplitudes and tone proportional to their intensities, on the right 1/3 of the screen. It is useful for estimating the kind of fish school and seabed composition. STD: The width of the sounder display is approx. 20 mm (Default setting). WIDE: The width is approx. 40 mm. 5. Press the [ENTER] key or the soft key ENTER. 0 68.
2.5 Automatic Sounder Operation Dual-frequency display: Press the soft key MODE. MODE/FREQ Automatic sounder operation is useful when you are preoccupied with other tasks and do not have time to adjust the display. ▲ ' AUTO CRUISING ™ AUTO FISHING ™ MANUAL ▼ How the automatic sounder works Figure 2-14 Mode/frequency window The automatic sounder function automatically selects the proper gain, range scale and clutter suppression level according to depth.

2.8 Suppressing Interference Interference from other acoustic equipment operating nearby or other electronic equipment on your boat may show itself on the display as shown in Figure 2-20. To suppress interference, do the following: 1. Press the [MENU] key and the soft key SOUNDER SETUP OPTIONS. 2. Select NOISE LIMITER and press the soft key EDIT to show the noise limiter window. NOISE LIMITER ▲ 2.9 Suppressing Low Level Noise Light-blue dots may appear over most of screen.
2.10 Erasing Weak Echoes 2.11 White Marker Dirty water or reflections from plankton may be painted on the display in green or light blue. These weak echoes may be erased as follows: The white marker functions to display a particular echo color in white. For example, you may want to display the bottom echo (reddish-brown) in white to discriminate fish echoes near the bottom. Note that the bottom must be displayed in reddish-brown for the white marker to function. 1.
2.12 Selecting Picture Advance Speed 2.13 Selecting Background and Echo Colors The picture advance speed determines how quickly the vertical scan lines run across the screen. When selecting a picture advance speed, keep in mind that a fast advance speed will expand the size of the fish school horizontally on the screen and a slow advance speed will contract it. 1. Press the [MENU] key and the soft key SOUNDER SETUP OPTIONS. 2. Select HUE, and then press the soft key EDIT to show the hue window.
3. Select the menu item, and press the soft key EDIT. 2.14 Alarms Bottom alarm The bottom alarm sounds when the bottom echo is within the alarm range set. To activate the bottom alarm the depth must be displayed. Fish (B/L) alarm The bottom-lock fish alarm sounds when a fish echo is within a predetermined distance from the bottom. Fish (normal) alarm The normal fish alarm sounds when a fish echo is within the preset alarm range.
2.15 Interpreting the Display Bottom echo Zero line Echoes from the bottom are normally the strongest and are displayed in reddish-brown color but the color and width will vary with bottom composition, water depth, frequency, sensitivity, etc. The zero line (sometimes referred to as the transmission line) represents the transducer’s position, and moves off the screen when a deep phased range is used.
Surface noise/Aeration When the waters are rough or the boat passes over a wake, surface noise may appear near the zero line. As surface turbulence is acoustically equivalent to running into a brick wall, the bottom echo will be displayed intermittently. Similar noise sometimes appears when a water temperature difference (thermocline) exists. Different species of fish tend to prefer different temperature zones, so the thermocline may be useful to help identify target fish.
3. PLOTTER DISPLAYS 3.1 Course-up Presentation Modes The plotter display mainly shows chart, ship’s track, waypoints, and navigation data. Three types of display presentations are provided for the normal plotter display: north-up, course-up and auto course-up. To change the mode, use the presentation mode selection soft key, which is the 3rd soft key from the top. North-up Press the soft key COURSE UP to show the course-up display.
3.2 Cursor 3.4 Turning on the cursor, shifting the cursor Press the cursor pad to turn the cursor on, and the cursor appears at the own ship’s position. Operate the cursor pad to shift the cursor.

Although the WGS-84 system, the GPS standard, is now widely used other categories of charts still exist.
SPD/CSE SMOOTHING LATITUDE, LONGITUDE During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed and course) is directly measured by receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw velocity data may change randomly depending on receiving conditions and other factors. You can reduce this random variation by increasing the smoothing. Like with latitude and longitude smoothing, the higher the speed and course smoothing the more smoothed the raw data.
