The Menu System
A simple menu system allows you to access your PiranhaMAX™ adjustable
settings. To activate the menu system, press the POWER-MENU key. Press the
POWER-MENU key repeatedly to display the PiranhaMAX™ menu settings,
one at a time. When a menu setting is on the display, use the RIGHT and LEFT
Arrow keys to adjust the menu setting. Menus settings are saved and removed
from the screen automatically after several seconds. In Normal operating mode,
most menu settings saved to memory will not return to their default values when
the unit is turned off. See individual menu choices for more information.
NOTE: Each time the POWER-MENU key is pressed, the backlight momentarily
illuminates for easy viewing at night. Adjust the LIGHT menu setting to keep the
backlight on.
NOTE: If Simulator Mode is selected from the Start-Up Menu and a transducer is
plugged in, some menu setting changes will be saved in memory even after the unit
is powered down. Menu setting changes will not be saved from Simulator mode
when a transducer is not connected.
NOTE: Turning on the SetUp menu choice from the Main Menu System allows you
to access additional set-up menu choices. See SetUp Menu for more information.
Light
(Setting Not Saved in Memory)
Press the POWER-MENU key until LIGHT appears. Use the backlight for night
fishing. Select either 0 (Off), or 1 through 5 to activate the backlight at the
desired level. (0 to 5, Default = 0 [PiranhaMAX™150/160/170/180]; 0 to 10,
Default = 10 [PiranhaMAX™190c])
NOTE: Continuous backlight operation will significantly decrease the battery life for
PiranhaMAX™ Portables.
Sensitivity
(Setting Saved in Memory)
Press the POWER-MENU key until SENSITIVITY appears. Sensitivity controls how
much detail is shown on the display. Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar
returns from small baitfish and suspended debris in the water; however, the dis-
play may become too cluttered. When operating in very clear water or greater
depths, increased sensitivity shows weaker returns that may be of interest. De-
creasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes
present in murky or muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display
may not show many sonar returns that could be fish. (0 – 10, Default = 5)
