The main components of the menu system are: Start-Up Options Menu - Press the MENU key during the power up sequence to view the Start-Up Options menu. X-PressTM Menu - The X-PressTM Menu allows you to access the settings that are changed frequently without having to navigate through the whole menu system.

User Mode (Normal or Advanced) - An Advanced Mode is provided for users who desire the highest level of control over the FishFinder and Normal Mode for users who desire greater simplicity and fewer menu choices. Additional Advanced menu choices will be displayed throughout the menu system when you navigate to specific menus while in Advanced Mode. Any changes made while in Advanced Mode will remain in effect after you switch back to Normal Mode. See Setup Menu Tab: User Mode for specific instructions on changing to Advanced User Mode.

[. . . ] To determine whether the boat's engine is the source of the noise, increase the RPMs while the boat is in neutral and stationary to see if the noise increases proportionately; if noise appears when you rev the engine, the problem could be the spark plugs, alternator, or tachometer wiring. Replace the spark plugs with resistor plugs, install an alternator filter, or route the control head power and transducer cables away from the engine wiring. Turbulence created by the propeller can cause noise; make sure the transducer is mounted at least 15" (38 cm) from the propeller, and that the water flows smoothly over the face of the transducer at all times. Possible Cause If the power output of your boat's engine is unregulated, the control head may be protecting itself using its overvoltage protection feature. A mix of air and water flowing around the transducer (cavitation) may be interfering with the interpretation of sonar data. [. . . ]
