Lower Range
Lower Range
sets the deepest depth range that will be
displayed. Automatic is the default setting. When in automatic mode, the lower range
will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom. Selecting a specific setting locks the
depth range into Manual mode. Use both Upper and Lower Range together to view a
specific depth range manually when looking for fish or bottom structure.
will be
displayed in the lower right corner of the screen when you start manually adjusting the
Lower Range to indicate that you are in Manual mode.
NOTE:
A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower
Range regardless of the manual settings entered.
To adjust the Lower Range:
1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-Press
TM
menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the
Lower Range setting. (AUTO, 10 to 1000 feet, 3 to 330 meters
[International
Models only]
, Default = AUTO)
For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested
in the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower
Depth Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range,
allowing you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the
display went all the way to the bottom.

Chart Speed
Chart Speed
determines the speed at which the sonar
information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A
faster speed shows more information in the Sonar Views and is preferred by most
anglers; however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower
speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish details
become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of the Chart Speed
setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum rate possible for the depth
conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.
To adjust the Chart Speed:
1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-Press
TM
menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Chart
Speed setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest, Default = 5)
Bottom View
Bottom View
selects the method used to represent
bottom and structure on the display.
Inverse
represents weak returns as dark pixels and strong returns as lighter pixels. This
has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display.
Structure ID®
represents weak returns as light pixels and strong returns as dark pixels.
This has the benefit of ensuring that strong returns will be clearly visible on the display.
WhiteLine®
highlights the strongest sonar returns in white resulting in a distinctive
outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display.
Bottom Black
displays all pixels below the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal
strength. This has the benefit of providing a high contrast between the bottom and
other sonar returns on the display. Any targets such as fish, structure and thermoclines
will be shown using the Structure ID® method.
See
Bottom Presentation
for more information.
To adjust the Bottom View:
1. Highlight Bottom View on the Sonar X-Press
TM
Menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Bottom View
setting. (Inverse, Structure ID®, WhiteLine®, Bottom Black, Default = Inverse)
