[. . . ] A right or left arrow on a menu choice means that you can use the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to make changes or to see more information. NOTE: The Main Menu choices will vary depending on whether you are in Normal or Advanced User Mode. Main Menu System Normal User Mode 28 User Mode (Normal or Advanced) - An Advanced Mode is provided for users who desire the highest level of control over the Matrix Fishing System 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. For example, if you set specific views to be visible while in Advanced User Mode, and then return to Normal User Mode, those views will still be visible. See Setup Menu Tab: User Mode for specific instructions on changing to Advanced User Mode. Sonar Tab, Normal Mode 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). 29 Start-Up Options Menu Press the MENU key when the Title screen is displayed to access the Start-Up Options menu. 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. 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 Matrix Fishing System can be used on the water. Exit Normal operation by powering your Matrix Fishing System off. 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. Simulator, Shown with Optional WeatherSenseTM Accessory NOTE: To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important to select Simulator manually from the StartUp Options menu as opposed to letting the Matrix 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 pre-configure your Matrix Fishing System for on the water operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use. A message will appear on the display periodically to remind you that you are using the Simulator. Exit the Simulator by powering your Matrix Fishing System off. 30 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. System Status Self Test Screen Accessory Test lists the accessories connected to the system. NOTE: The speed accessory will be detected only if the paddlewheel has moved since your Matrix Fishing System was powered up. Accessory Test Screen GPS Diagnostic View shows a sky chart and numerical data from the GPS receiver. The sky chart shows the location of each visible GPS satellite with its satellite number and a signal strength bar. A dark grey bar indicates that the satellite is being used to determine your current position. A light gray bar indicates that the satellite is being monitored, but is not yet being used. NOTE: The GPS Diagnostic View only appears if the GPS Receiver is connected. 31 This view also reports the current position, local time and date, and other numeric information. The current GPS Fix Type is reported as No Fix, 2D Fix, 3D Fix, or Enhanced. [. . . ] See Finding the Cause of Noise for more information. When the boat moves at higher speeds, the bottom disappears or suddenly weakens, or the display contains gaps. 76 Finding the Cause of Noise Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds, and high sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause noise or interference: Possible Source of Noise Other electronic devices Isolation Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if the problem goes away, then turn them on one at a time to see if the noise re-appears. 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. [. . . ]
