Sonar

The full screen page, the split zoom page, the split frequency 

page, and the flasher page are visual representations of the 

area beneath your boat. You can customize these sonar views.

NOTE: 

Not all devices have these features.

DownVü Sonar View

NOTE: 

Not all models support DownVü sonar technology and 

transducers.

NOTE: 

To receive DownVü scanning sonar, you need a 

compatible chartplotter or fishfinder and a compatible 

transducer.
DownVü high-frequency sonar provides a clearer picture below 

the boat, providing a more detailed representation of structures 

the boat is passing over.
Traditional transducers emit a conical beam. The DownVü 

scanning sonar technology emits a narrow beam, similar to the 

shape of the beam in a copying machine. This beam provides a 

clearer, picture-like image of what is beneath the boat.

Sonar Frequencies

NOTE: 

The frequencies available depend on the transducer 

being used.
Adjusting the frequency helps adapt the sonar for your particular 

goals and the present depth of the water.
Higher frequencies use narrow beam widths, and are better for 

high-speed operation and rough sea conditions. Bottom 

definition and thermocline definition can be better when using a 

higher frequency.
Lower frequencies use wider beam widths, which cover a larger 

area and can let the fisherman see more targets, but could also 

generate more surface noise and reduce bottom signal 

continuity during rough sea conditions. Wider beam widths 

generate larger arches for fish target returns, making them ideal 

for locating fish. Wider beam widths also perform better in deep 

water, because the lower frequency has better deep water 

penetration. They can be used to search for structures such as 

brush piles.
Viewing two frequencies concurrently using the split frequency 

view, allows you to see deeper with the lower frequency return 

and at the same time see more detail from the higher frequency 

return.

Adjusting the Range of the Depth Scale

You can adjust the range of the depth scale that appears on the 

right side of the screen. Automatic ranging keeps the bottom 

within the lower third of the sonar screen, and can be useful for 

tracking the bottom where there are slow or moderate terrain 

changes.
When the depth changes dramatically, like a drop off or cliff, 

manually adjusting the range allows a view of a specified depth 

range. The bottom is shown on the screen as long as the 

bottom is anywhere within the manual range established.

Select an option.
• To allow the device to adjust the range automatically 

based on the depth, select

.

• To increase or decrease the range manually, select 

Manual

, and select   or  .

NOTE: 

Setting the range on one page applies that setting to 

all pages.

Adjusting the Zoom

You can adjust the zoom manually by specifying the span and a 

fixed starting depth. For example, when the depth is 15 meters 

and a starting depth of 5 meters, the device displays a 

magnified area from 5 meters deep to 20 meters deep.
You also can allow the device to adjust the zoom automatically 

by specifying a span. The device calculates the zoom area from 

the bottom of the water. For example, if you select a span of 10 

meters, the device displays an magnified area from the bottom 

of the water to 10 meters above the bottom.

 to adjust the zoomed window up 

or down.

NOTE: 

The zoomed window tracks the bottom in auto mode 

only.

Locking the Screen to the Water Bottom

You can lock the screen to the water bottom. For example, if 

you select a span of 20 meters, the device shows an area from 

the water bottom to 20 meters above the bottom. The span 

appears on the right side.

information on the screen longer.
