User manual HUMMINBIRD MATRIX 15

[. . . ] Your Humminbird is designed for trouble-free use in even the harshest marine environment. In the unlikely event that your Humminbird does require repairs, we offer an exclusive Service Policy - free of charge during the first year after purchase, and available at a reasonable rate after the one-year period. For complete details, see the separate warranty card included with your unit. We encourage you to read this operation manual carefully in order to get full benefit from all the features and applications of your Humminbird product. [. . . ] The Zoom Sonar Zoom View shown Preview Box shows where the zoomed view is in relation to the full range view. The Zoom Level, or with Structure ID® on magnification, is displayed in the lower left corner and can be changed to suit conditions (see Sonar Settings - X-Press Menu). Upper and Lower Zoom Depth Range numbers indicate the depth of the water which is being viewed. Readouts for temperature, speed and Triplog information are displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected to the system. The Triplog shows distance traveled, average speed, and time elapsed since the Triplog was last reset (see System Settings - Main Menu Setup Tab). Press the MENU key once while in a Sonar View to access the following X-Press menu settings quickly: Sensitivity provides advanced control over the sonar receiver. The Matrix unit optimizes Sensitivity based on depth and water conditions automatically; however, you also may change it manually to match your preferences or water conditions. Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar returns from small bait fish and suspended debris in the water; however, the display may become too cluttered in some water conditions. When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity shows smaller returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish. Lower Depth Range adjusts the Sonar View lower range to a specific depth. Advanced anglers use both Upper and Lower Depth Range together to view a specific depth range manually when looking for fish or bottom structure. Chart Speed determines the speed at which the bottom information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster speed shows more information in the Sonar View and is preferred by most anglers; however, the bottom moves across the display quickly. The highest setting is an ultrafast mode that provides the highest chart speed possible by slowing down other system functions. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish detail becomes compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Fish ID+TM uses advanced signal processing to interpret sonar returns and display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. Three different fish size icons show the intensity of the sonar return, and provide an indicator of relative fish size. When Fish ID+ is turned off, the Matrix shows only the unprocessed sonar returns on the display. These returns will often result in "arches" forming on the display, indicating potential targets. Fish Sensitivity adjusts the thresholds of the fish detection algorithms, thus enhancing your unit's ability to identify sonar returns as fish icons. [. . . ] NOTE: Menu choices are implemented and saved immediately - no further action is required. In the main Menu, first use the 4-Way Menu Control LEFT or RIGHT key to select a tab; then use the UP or DOWN key to select the menu item. The menu system is expandable; when you attach a supported accessory to the Matrix system, the Matrix menus may change to display new choices for those accessories that require menu access. If a menu is active, pressing EXIT will return to the previous level in the menu system. [. . . ]
