[. . . ] For complete details, see the separate warranty card included with your unit. We encourage you to read this operations manual carefully in order to get full benefit from all the features and applications of your Humminbird® product. Contact our Customer Resource Center at either 1-334-687-0503 or visit our website at www. humminbird. com. WARNING!This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. [. . . ] 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 See the following paragraphs for more information about each of these choices. Sonar Tab, Normal Mode Normal Operation Use Normal operation for on the water operation with a transducer connected. In addition, your Matrix Fishing System 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 Fishing System can be used on the water. Exit Normal operation by powering your Fishing System off. Sonar Tab, Advanced Mode Total Screen Update - when you change any menu settings that affect the Sonar View, the view will update immediately (i. e. you don't have to exit the menu to apply the change to the screen). For instance, by switching between "Inverse" and "Structure ID®" from the X-PressTM Menu it is possible to alternate quickly between the two viewing methods. 19 20 Simulator Use the Simulator to learn how to use your Matrix Fishing System 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 Fishing System 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 preconfigure your Matrix Fishing System for on the water operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use. System Status Use System Status to view system connections and to conduct a unit self-test. M will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen when you start manually adjusting the Lower Range to indicate that you are in Manual mode. For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower Depth Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range, allowing you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display went all the way to the bottom. NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered. Chart Speed Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster speed shows more information and is preferred by most anglers; however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of the Chart Speed setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum rate possible for the depth conditions. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Chart Speed setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest, Default = 4) To adjust the Lower Range: 1. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Lower Range setting. (AUTO, 10 to 800/1000/1500 feet, 3 to 260/330/500 meters [International Models Only], Default = AUTO) NOTE: Settings are dependent on the depth capability of your particular Fishing System model. Bottom View Bottom View selects the method used to represent bottom and structure on the display. Inverse represents weak returns as dark pixels and strong returns as lighter pixels. [. . . ] Check with your Installation Guide for guidance on re-positioning the transducer, and make sure the transducer is clean. Low battery voltage may be affecting the power of signal transmission. Electrical noise from the boat's engine may be interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the Cause of Noise for more information. 49 50 Finding the Cause of Noise Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds, and high sensitivity readings.
