FISHTRAX™ 1C OPERATING MODES
The FishTrax™ 1C incorporates three operating modes. To change the
Operating Mode press and release the
or
buttons.
A.
Fish Finder:
In addition to measuring the overall depth of the water, this
mode depicts the presence of fish in the water column and shows the bottom
contour and composition.
B.
Data Mode:
This mode overlays large numbers over the fish finder display
showing Depth, Temperature and Battery Voltage.
C.
Ice-Mode Digital Flasher:
This mode gives you a real time view of the
FishTrax™ sonar echoes. Compared to the Fish Finder mode, the flasher
shows what's happening below you right at that moment, whereas the fish
finder mode shows you the sonar returns from the past
(a historical image of
what has happened).
On the flasher screen you'll see the surface, the bottom, and “blips” that
indicate echoes. When a fish enters or moves through the cone of the sonar
beam a “blip” will appear. Generally the darker the “blip”, the longer the fish
stayed in the beam. This mode is very helpful at allowing you to set your bait
at the exact depth of the fish in the water column, therefore significantly
increasing your catch rate.

OTICE
:
Use the Data Mode to check the condition of the batteries. The
FishTrax™ 1C needs at least 4.5 Volts to operate and the unit will
shut down automatically if voltage drops below that. It is
recommended to keep a backup set of fully charged batteries on
hand. We also recommend using rechargeable batteries.
