Use the UP or DOWN 4-WAY Cursor keys to position the cursor, then the RIGHT Cursor key to select one of the following choices. If you wait too long, the system will default to whichever menu mode happens to be highlighted: · Normal · Simulator · System Status · PC Connect (use with PC Connect Cable). Start-Up Options Menu System Status Use System Status to view system connections and to conduct a unit self-test. The following screens are displayed in turn when you press the VIEW button when using System Status: · Self Test · Accessory Test · GPS Diagnostic View. Self Test displays results from the internal diagnostic self test, including unit serial number, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) serial number, software revision, total hours of operation and the input voltage. See the following paragraphs for more information about each of these choices. Normal Operation Use Normal operation for on the water operation with a transducer connected. In addition, your FishFinder uses advanced transducer detection methods to determine if a transducer is connected. If a functioning transducer is connected, Normal operation will be selected automatically at power up and your FishFinder can be used on the water. Exit Normal operation by powering your FishFinder off. Simulator Use the Simulator to learn how to use your FishFinder before taking your boat on the water. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on the water operation, providing a randomly-updated display. We recommend going through this manual while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function and affect the display the way they actually do when in Normal operation. NOTE: To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important to select Simulator manually from the Start-Up Options menu as opposed to letting the FishFinder enter Simulator automatically (as it will if a transducer is not connected and you do nothing during power up). Manually selecting Simulator from the Start-Up Options menu allows you to pre-configure your MatrixTM for on the water operation. [. . . ] Replace the transducer if the cable is damaged or corroded. To Change the View Status of Any View: 1. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the status of the view from Hidden to Visible. 68 69 FF595_Man_531385-1_A_PrfE. qxd 12/9/2004 2:41 PM Page 76 Display Problems There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may cause problems with the quality of the information displayed on the control head.
