[. . . ] The shape of the sonar beam is symmetrical and covers an area of approximately 24 degrees side to side and front to rear. Actual depth capability depends on factors such as bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation. Units will typically read to deeper depths in fresh water than in salt water SIMULATOR OPERATION The 100SX contains a simulator which allows you to use the unit as if you are on the water. The Simulator is invaluable for learning how to operate the many features of the 100SX. There are two ways to enable the simulator: if the unit is powered off, press and hold the POWER button for approximately 3 seconds until a continuous chirp is heard. The Simulator can also be enabled by selecting the Simulator option on the start-up screen after you normally powerup the unit. When this screen is shown, simply press the DOWN ARROW until "Simulator" is highlighted. When in simulator operation, the 100SX responds to control inputs as if it is in actual operation, so feel free to experiment with the many features and functions to customize the 100SX for your particular operation. WHAT YOU SEE ON-SCREEN Your 100SX uses a 128 x 64 matrix FSTN LCD display. This type of display provides outstanding viewability in all light conditions over a wide range of temperatures. NOTE: When in simulator mode, the word "simulator" occasionally scrolls across the display indicating that the information on-screen is not real sonar data. At power-up, the depth range , sensitivity, and other user adjustments are set at their default settings. There are several elements on-screen which are common to all modes of operation. The large digital number at the lower left of the display is the depth of the water directly beneath the transducer location. The range of the graphic display is shown to the right of the graphic information. The upper number is 0 indicating the surface of the water, the lower number is one of the 9 ranges available which best matches the depth of the water. As the depth of the water changes, the range changes as necessary in order to retain a bottom representation onscreen. When in Auto mode, the horizontal line at the top of the graphics area is the 0 line which represents the surface of the water. This gap indicates that the unit is updating the display even if the bottom is not visible on-screen, or if the bottom information is not changing. The graphic representation of the bottom may vary considerably depending on the composition and regularity of the bottom surface (see Interpreting the Onscreen Information). Any sonar return which is determined to be not a part of the bottom is shown between the surface and the bottom. If this return is determined to be a fish, one of several fish shapes is drawn which indicate size, depth, and location of the fish (see Interpreting the Onscreen Information). INTERPRETING THE ON-SCREEN INFORMATION Figure B shows a typical view you can expect to see on-water. [. . . ] The Fish Alarm has 3 different settings which correspond to the 3 different size fish symbols shown onscreen. To enable Fish Alarm, press the MENU button repeatedly until the Fish Alarm menu appears on-screen. The menu shows two options, "Off" (Factory Setting) and "On". Use the DOWN ARROW to highlight "On" and the menu further expands to show the 3 alarm options. [. . . ]
