POWER - Press and hold this button for 2 seconds to turn your unit on or off.
SENS - The SENS (sensitivity) button controls the amount of sensitivity required
by the unit to pick up objects like bottom, weeds, fish, smaller bait-fish, or small
lures and jigs. The lower the number, the less sensitivity, conversely higher
numbers mean more sensitivity. To adjust your sensitivity, first press the SENS
button and a bar will appear at the bottom of your display. Pressing the UP/
DOWN will adjust your sensitivity, and the sensitivity setting will now be digitally
displayed on the SENS gauge. The best SENS setting is achieved by turning
up your sensitivity from 0 until you receive a clear and steady bottom reading.
To see your lure or bait, turn up the SENS some more until you just begin to
display your bait without it fading or flickering on the screen. The sensitivity will
go up to 25, but a setting between 5 and 10 is likely to be where you want it
set in most instances. Too much sensitivity will only display with unnecessary
information, showing clutter and making it more difficult to interpret the return
signals. Clutter can be caused by any number of suspended items, including
algae, zooplankton, tiny bubbles, and other particles.
RANGE— The LX-7 is equipped with “Auto Range” and “Dynamic Depth”.
The LX-7 will automatically lock onto the proper range with either of these
settings. There are also 9 manually adjustable depth ranges—10, 20, 40, 60,
80, 120, 180, 240 and 300-feet. If you manually select a range, select a range
that is deeper than the actual depth and when in doubt, error on the “deep”
side. Regardless of the depth range setting, your LX-7 will always display
digital depth, even if the bottom is deeper than the bottom limit of the RANGE
setting (down to 300’). To change your range setting, press RANGE and
scroll up or down using the UP/DOWN Buttons. When the desired range is
highlighted, press MENU to instantly change, or just wait for a moment and the
LX-7 will lock into the selected range automatically.
AUTO RANGE— The LX-7 has an Auto Range feature that allows you to simply
turn on the unit and begin fishing. To enter Auto Range, press RANGE. This
will open a window with 11 range options. Now use the UP button to highlight
“Auto”. Now press MENU, and the LX-7 will automatically lock into the appro-
priate depth range. For instance, in 32 feet of water, the LX-7 will lock into the
40 foot range. In 45 feet of water the LX-7 will automatically lock into the 60
foot range. Your Range gauge will show an “A”, and the needle will be all the
way to the left.
DYNAMIC DEPTH – This Marcum exclusive feature functions similarly to the
“Auto Range”, but fine tunes your range even farther. The Dynamic Depth will
maximize the space on your display by utilizing a constantly variable range that
will always be just slightly deeper than the actual depth. For example, if you
were fishing in 23 feet of water, the Dynamic Depth range will be 25 feet, if you
were in 29 feet of water, the Dynamic Depth range will be 32 feet. The Dynamic
Depth range will not go shallower than 10 feet.
MANUAL RANGE— To manually adjust the LX-7’s depth range, press RANGE.
This will open a window with 9 range options. Now use the UP or DOWN button
to highlight whichever range you would like to be in. The LX-7 will lock in your
selected range as soon as the selected range has been highlighted.
