The noise rejection option filters the signal interference and reduces on-screen clutter. Surface clarity Wave action, boat wakes and temperature inversion can cause onscreen clutter near the surface.
Bytes per sounding Select how many bytes per seconds that are to be used when saving the log file. More bytes yield better resolution, but will cause the recorded file to increase in size compared to using lower byte settings. Log all channels Logs Broadband and Structurescan sonar data simultaneously. When logging all channels, logs are saved in .sl2 format instead of .slg format.
Sensitivity Increasing Sensitivity will show more detail on the screen; decreasing Sensitivity displays less. Too much detail will clutter the screen. Conversely, desired echoes may not be displayed if Sensitivity is set too low. ¼¼ Note: Auto Sensitivity is the preferred mode for most conditions. Auto sensitivity Auto sensitivity automatically adjusts the sonar return to the optimal levels.
Zoom bars By default the zoom level is set to 2x. You can select up to an 8x zoom by pressing the dedicated zoom keys. The range zoom bars on the right side of the display shows the range that is magnified. If you increase the zooming factor the range will be reduced. You will see this as reduced distance between the zoom bars. Bottom lock The bottom lock mode is useful when you want to view echoes close to the bottom.
Palettes You can select from several display palettes optimized for a variety of fishing conditions. Temp graph Shows a red line and a digital display on the sonar screen to graphically illustrate changes in water temperature. Depth line Places a line on the bottom surface to make it easier to distinguish the bottom from fish and structure. A-scope Displays the amplitude of real-time echoes as they appear on the screen.
Stop sonar Allows you to closely examine sonar echoes, precisely position a waypoint or stop interference between transducers on your boat. When sonar is stopped, no sonar history will be recorded. This function is also useful when using the cursor to measure a distance between two elements on the screen. Pausing sonar You can pause sonar by tapping the screen. When sonar is paused, sonar history will still be recorded.
Overlay Downscan™ You can overlay a Downscan image on a normal sonar image. Tap Overlay downscan on the Sonar settings menu.

Tap Overlay on the Structure options menu to adjust the level of structure overlay shown on the screen. You will make adjustments using the Overlay slider bar. Fishing modes This feature consists of preset packages of sonar settings designed for specific fishing conditions.
Installation settings Keel offset This is a value that can be entered on the sonar Installation page to make depth readings relate to any point from the water surface, to the deepest point of the vessel. Below are some typical ways in which the offset is used: A) For Depth below Keel: Set the distance from transducer to the keel. Enter a negative value, e.g. B) For Depth Below Transducer: no offset required.
Water speed calibration Water speed calibration is used to adjust the speed value from the paddle wheel to match the actual boat speed through the water. Actual speed can be determined from GPS speed over ground (SOG) or by timing the boat over a known distance. Water speed calibration should be performed in calm conditions, with minimal wind and current movement. Water speed averaging Averages water speed by measuring your speed at a selected interval of time.
8 StructureScan HD™ StructureScan HD™ uses high frequencies to provide a high resolution, picture-like image of the bottom. ¼¼ Note: You must have a StructureScan HD transducer installed to use StructureScan features. StructureScan HD provides a 328 m (600 ft) wide coverage in high detail with SideScan, while DownScan™ provides detailed images of structure and fish directly below your boat, down to 92 m (300 ft).
DownScan Access hidden context menu Data overlay Range scale Bottom Frequency Range keys Using the cursor on the StructureScan page The cursor is by default not shown on the StructureScan page. When you tap the screen the cursor will appear.

Range No cursor DownScan range controls the water depth that is visible on the screen. SideScan range controls how much of the side view will be visible on the screen. Active cursor Tap the range keys on the touchscreen to adjust the range on both DownScan and SideScan images.
Flipping Left/Right image If required, the left/right Sidescanning images can be flipped to match the corresponding side of your vessel. Range lines Range lines extend from the range scale to the other side of the screen, making it easier to estimate depth (DownScan) and distance (SideScan). Preview You can turn off the downscan history preview, have it always shown at the top of the screen, or have it appear only when the cursor is active.
Measuring distance The cursor can be used to measure the distance between two points on the StructureScan image. It is easier to use the measure function when the structure image is paused. ¼¼ Note: The Measure option will only be visible on the Structure menu when the cursor is active. Stop sonar Allows you to closely examine structure, precisely position a waypoint or stop interference between transducers on your boat. When sonar is stopped, no sonar history will be recorded.
9 StructureMap™ StructureMap™ is a tool that allows you to overlay SideScan sonar returns on top of the chart, giving you a birds-eye view of underwater structure below and beside your boat. StructureMap makes it easier for you to visualize the underwater environment in relation to your position and aids the user in interpreting SideScan sonar images. Turning on StructureMap overlay You can view StructureMap data by turning on Structure overlay from the Chart menu.
Live mode Displays the last few minutes of the Side Imaging history as a trail behind the vessel icon. The length of this trail will vary depending on the Side Imaging and Down Imaging range settings. The higher the range settings the longer the history length that will show up behind the vessel icon. Typically, it will display the last 4-5 minutes of recording. Live mode allows the user to quickly identify interesting areas of the lake and how they relate to vessel position.
¼¼ NOTE: If there is more than one StructureMap of the same area on the same SD card, the maps will overlap on your screen. If you want to have more than one map of the same area, you should put the maps on separate SD cards. Structure options Range Controls the width of the SideScan history trail. Adjust the range properly for the depth of the water. The greater the range setting, the wider the StructureMap history trail; Lower range settings reduce the width of the history trail.
Palette Several display palettes with varying degrees of color and brightness are available. Contrast Adjusts the brightness ratio between light and dark areas of the screen, making it easier to distinguish objects from the background. Water column Turns on/off the viewing of the StructureScan water column on StructureMap (only applicable in Live mode). Frequency StructureScan supports two frequencies.
(.smf ) files, we recommend using an SD card when recording StructureMaps. To have structure sonar log (.sl2) files automatically converted to StructureMap file format (.smf ), tap Convert to map when complete on the Sonar Log menu. The (.sl2) file will be converted to a (.smf ) file when recording is stopped. You can convert logs after recording from the File utility. Refer to the Utilities section of this manual for more information.
Sharing files After structure sonar log (.sl2) files are converted to StructureMap (.smf ) files, they can be saved to a SD card and used on other GPS capable HDS Gen 2 units without the need for the StructureScan module. Show StructureMap (.smf) files You can view StructureMap (.smf ) files from the Files menu, which allows you to quickly see what area each StructureMap file covers.

STC curve The STC (Sensitivity Time Control) controls the sensitivity of the radar signal close to your vessel. Your selection should be based on the current sea conditions. ¼¼ Note: When a 4G broadband radar is installed, beam sharpening is enabled, resulting in 2X the azimuth resolution — similar to a threefoot length array. Target trails Turns on/off shaded echoes of each radar target making it easier to assess the movement of targets relative to your position.
Threshold The threshold sets required signal strength for the lowest radar signals. Radar returns below this limit will be filtered and not displayed. The default value is 30%. Fast scan (Broadband Radar™ only). Increases the rotation speed of the radar scanner when the range is under 2nm. This option gives faster updates on target movements within this range. North indicator Turns on/off viewing of the North indicator on the radar page. Range rings Turns on/off viewing of Range rings on the radar page.
MARPA target symbols Your unit uses the target symbols shown below. Symbol Description Acquiring MARPA target. Typically it takes up to 10 full rotations of the scanner Tracking MARPA target, not moving or at anchor. Tracking and safe MARPA target with extension lines. Dangerous MARPA target. A target is defined as dangerous based on the CPA, TCPA and AIS Range settings. Refer to “Vessel alarms” on page 101. When no signals have been received within a time limit a target will be defined as lost.
Viewing target information Tap the desired target and then tap Target details on the radar menu. MARPA target settings Several vessel settings define alarm limits and how the targets are displayed on your radar image. Target trails and safe rings You can define the length of the MARPA trail making it easier to follow target movement. A circle can be added around the MARPA target to present the danger zone.
your vessel comes within this distance from a vessel, the symbol will change to the “dangerous” target symbol. An alarm will be triggered if activated in the Alarm settings panel. Vessel alarm settings You can define several Vessels alarms to alert you if a target comes within predefined range limits, or if a previously identified target is lost. Alarm ID Description Dangerous vessel Controls whether an alarm shall be activated when a vessel comes within the predefined CPA or TCPA.
Radar installation menu Setup and configuration of the Broadband radar has been simplified compared to traditional pulse radars. There is no zero range (time delay), no warm up time, and no burn-in required. Radar status Displays scanner information, the availability and status of scanner features, and the status of radar peripherals.
Occasionally false target returns can occur adjacent to strong target returns such as large boats or container ports. This occurs because not all of the transmitted radar energy can be focused into a single beam by the radar antenna, a small amount energy is transmitted in other directions. This energy is referred to as sidelobe energy and occurs in all radar systems.
17 Using AIS The marine Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a location and vessel information reporting system. It allows vessels equipped with AIS to automatically and dynamically share and regularly update their position, speed, course and other information such as vessel identity with similarly equipped vessels. Position is derived from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and communication between vessels is by Very High Frequency (VHF) digital transmissions.
Lost AIS target. When no signals have been received within a time limit a target will be defined as lost. The target symbol represents the last valid position of the target before the reception of data was lost. Selected AIS target, activated The target will return to default target by tapping on a target symbol when the cursor is moved. symbol.
Vessel alarms You can define several alarms to alert you if a target comes within predefined range limits, or if a previously identified target is lost. Vessel alarms can be set up from the Alarms utility. Alarm ID Description Dangerous vessel Controls whether an alarm shall be activated when a vessel comes within the predefined CPA or TCPA. ¼¼ Note: The check box controls whether the alarm pop-up box is displayed and if the siren will sound.
Your vessel’s MMSI number You need to have your own MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) number entered in the system to be able to receive addressed messages from AIS and DSC vessels. It is also important to have the MMSI number entered to avoid seeing your own vessel as an AIS target on the chart. ¼¼ Note: The Vessel message option in the alarm settings must be toggled on if any MMSI message shall be displayed.
18 Point-1 antenna The Point-1 antenna is a GPS antenna with an electronic compass. Its 10Hz (ten times per second) update rate — coupled with the integrated compass — ensures accurate location and heading information, regardless of the speed of travel. Point-1 configuration Enabling WAAS/MSAS/EGNOS Select WAAS/MSAS/EGNOS to use the satellite based augmentation system (SBAS), which can increase accuracy of a GPS fix to within approximately 1m.
Position update rate may be adjusted (1Hz, 5Hz or 10Hz) to suit your vessel and to minimize unnecessary NMEA 2000 data traffic. For high speed vessels, the maximum update rate will be desired for measuring performance to the highest possible accuracy. On slower vessels, and large networks with a lot of network traffic, it may be preferable to reduce the network load. COG/SOG Filter Averages COG/SOG data to smooth out displayed values. The best setting will depend on the type of vessel and user preference.
GNSS Configuration The GPS and GLONASS options may be enabled simultaneously, or individually. Generally, GPS offers the highest accuracy, but in certain circumstances a better fix may be achieved with both or only GLONASS enabled. Calibrate With the Point-1 mounted securely in its permanent location, follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the compass.
19 Networking You can monitor the performance of NMEA 2000 and Ethernet networks and configure data sources, network devices, waypoint sharing and NMEA 0183 settings. Auto configuration After you have installed your NMEA 2000 network, or added/removed a device, you can allow the unit to select network settings by turning on all network devices and tapping Auto configure on the network settings menu. Auto configure will reset data sources to default settings and remove all instances for networked devices.
Configuring data sources Devices can be configured from the Data source menu or from the device list. Select the device from the list and tap Configure. Scope You can select the Global or Local setting for display units and data sources on the network. Setting desired data sources to Global scope allows all display units set to Global scope to use the same data sources.
Device Global Local Automatically uses data from global data sources Display units When a data source is selected by other global scope units, all units switch to same data source Data sources must be selected manually.
Damping accomplishes this by averaging the data. The higher the damping level, the more data history will be averaged. As a result, higher damping levels cause a delayed response to changes in the data. Device list Tap device list to view all devices connected to a NMEA 2000 network. You can configure and calibrate (where applicable) devices shown on the device list. Calibrating devices Devices that can be calibrated from the device list will have a Calibrate button on the Device information dialog.
