on and .3 mA when off. The display is equipped with a backlight for low-light con-
ditions. Enable the backlight by pressing the UP arrow or turn the backlight off by

The display has four screen settings. To access each setting press the SET but-

ton, each time the SET button is pressed, the display will move to the next setting.

fault is 15. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust.

• Screen #2 allows you to set the temperature unit of measure to Fahrenheit or Cel-

sius, the default is Fahrenheit. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust.

• Screen #3 allows you to set the speed unit of measure to MPH, KNOTS, or

KPH, the default is MPH. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust.

• Screen #4 allows you to calibrate the sensor readings, + or – 5 degrees F on the

temperature, and up to two-times adjustment for the speed. Use the
UP and DOWN arrows to adjust. You can exit these screens by press-
ing the POWER button at any time. All changes are saved at that point.

Setting the Gain–Screen #1

The gain is also referred to as sensitivity, and ranges

from 0 to 25. The factory default setting of 15 usually

provides excellent results. The gain control only has

an effect on the probe function. Most of the time no

or only small adjustments are necessary. Increasing

the gain allows probe readings to be received from

greater depths. Lower gain settings reduce the pos-

sibility of other sonar or electrical interference, and

also may be necessary in shallow water
