the display. 
Black displays all pixes 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.
White Line highlights the strongest sonar returns in white resulting in a distinctive 
outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display.
Inverse is a method where weak returns are shown with dark pixels and strong 
returns with lighter pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be 
clearly visible on the display.

Maintenance

Follow these simple procedures to ensure your FF918 continues to deliver top 
performance.

If the unit comes into contact with salt spray, wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth 
dampened in fresh water. 

Do not use a chemical glass cleaner on the less - this may cause cracking in the lens.

When cleaning the LCD protective lens, use a chamois and non-abrasive, mild 
cleaner. Do not wipe while dirt or grease is on the lens. Be careful to avoid scratching 
the lens.

If your boat remains in the water for long period of time, marine growth can reduce 
the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically clean the face of the transducer with 
liquid detergent.

If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take some time 
to wet the transducer when returned to the water. Small air bubbles can cling to the 
surface of the transducer and interfere with proper operation. These bubbles 
dissipate with time, or you can wipe the face of the transducer with your fingers after 
the transducer is in the water.
