[. . . ] Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Noise Filter on the Sonar main menu. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Noise Filter setting. (Off, Low, Medium, High1, High2, High3, Default = Low) Max Depth (Advanced) Max Depth adjusts the maximum depth of operation. The performance of your Fishfinder can be tuned to the maximum depth you will be fishing in by setting the Max Depth. When a maximum depth is set, your Fishfinder will not attempt to acquire sonar data below that depth, thus increasing overall performance. When Max Depth is set to Auto, the Fishfinder will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capacity of the unit). If the bottom is deeper than the Max Depth setting, the digital depth readout will flash, indicating that the Fishfinder cannot locate the bottom. The Max Depth menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode). Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Max Depth on the Sonar main menu. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Max Depth setting. (AUTO, 10 to 800 feet, 3 to 260 meters [International Models only], Default = AUTO) 43 Water Type (Advanced) Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. The Water Type menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode). NOTE: In salt water, what would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large fish in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water setting allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this. Also, make sure that the Water Type is set accurately, especially in salt water, as this affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings. To change the Water Type setting: 1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Water Type on the Sonar main menu. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Water Type setting. (Fresh, Salt, Default = Fresh) 44 Alarms Menu Tab From any view, press the MENU key twice to access the Main Menu System. The Alarms tab will be the default selection. NOTE: When an alarm is triggered, you can silence it by pressing any key. The alarm will be silenced, and will not be triggered again until a new instance of the alarm condition is detected. Alarms Menu 45 Depth Alarm Depth Alarm sounds when the depth becomes equal to or less than the menu setting. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Depth Alarm setting. (OFF, 1 to 100 feet, or 0. 5 to 30 meters [International Models only], Default = OFF) Fish ID Alarm Fish ID Alarm sounds when the Fishfinder detects fish that correspond to the alarm setting. Fish ID Alarm will only sound if Fish ID+TM is on. For example, if you've set the Fish ID Alarm to sound for Large fish only, the Fish ID alarm will sound when a large-sized fish is detected. To change the Fish ID Alarm setting: 1. [. . . ] TripLog: TripLog is a Humminbird® feature that provides an on-screen counter for Elapsed Time, Average Speed and Total Distance traveled, and requires a speed input to activate the feature. TripLog appears on the Big Digits View, and can be reset to zero through the TripLog menu. TrueArch®: TrueArch® is a Humminbird® feature that provides true fish arches, not artificial arches or symbols. Humminbird® units are capable of producing fish arches due to the wide 60° sonar beam of DualBeam PLUSTM, an extremely sensitive sonar receiver. [. . . ]
