[. . . ] Select Off for no fish alarm, or one of the following symbols to set the alarm. An alarm will sound when the PiranhaMax detects fish that correspond to the alarm setting. (Off, Large, Large/Medium, All, Default = Off) Large fish only Large/Medium fish only. All fish. Filter (Setting Saved in Memory) Press the POWER-MENU key until FILTER appears. Filter adjusts the sonar filter to limit interference on the display from sources such as your boat engine, turbulence, or other sonar devices. (On, Off, Default = Off) User Mode Press the POWER-MENU key until USER MODE appears. (SMARTCAST, TRANSDUCER) NOTE: If a transducer is not connected to the PMax30 the unit will automatically default to SmartCastTM user mode. This has the benefit of providing a high contrast between the bottom and other sonar returns on the display. WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns in white resulting in a distinctive outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display. Inverse is a method where weak returns are shown with dark pixels and strong returns with lighter pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display.

(A, B, Default = A) Scroll through all SetUp menu choices to exit the SetUp menu. NOTE: The Channel Select setting must match the actual hardware configuration of your RSS in order for the RSS to function. See Using the Advanced RSS for information about changing the channel of your Advanced RSS manually using the wet switch on the Advanced RSS. Channel A and B RSS Units Your PiranhaMax unit comes with an Advanced RSS. This A/B Channel option gives you the flexibility to switch to a different channel if another angler is using a PiranhaMax30 or SmartCastTM unit within 150 feet of your RSS to reduce possible interference. See Changing the Channel on the Advanced RSS for details on selecting either Channel A or Channel B. NOTE: RSS units, regardless of channel, may generate erratic depth readings as a result of sonar interference when used in close proximity (closer than 40 feet) to each other or to other sonar devices. Understanding the Advanced RSS The Advanced RSS provides the following functionality: · Water Surface Temperature · Grayscale Sonar Data · Blinking Light for nighttime use · A/B Channel Select. When you are using the PiranhaMax in SmartCastTM mode, grayscale sonar data and water temperature will be displayed automatically on the screen. You must manually program the Advanced RSS in order to turn the light on or off or to change the RSS channel setting to A or B. Default settings on new products are Light = OFF and Channel = A. RSS Programming Mode You may change the light setting or the channel type on the Advanced RSS using a programming mode that is accessed by touching the wet switch contacts on the bottom of the RSS. NOTE: Please read this and the next section BEFORE you try to program the Advanced RSS using the wet switch contacts. Specific step-by-step procedures to turn on the light and to change the channel follow this section. You will find it easier to perform these steps once you have grasped the way the programming mode works. The programming mode allows you to: · turn on the blinking light · switch the Advanced RSS Channel from A to B. [. . . ] The PiranhaMax loses signal in SmartCastTM User Mode. If the PiranhaMax, while in SmartCastTM user mode, is not able to get an RF signal from the RSS, the display will stop updating (the screen will freeze) and the SmartCastTM screen will be displayed after several seconds. Whenever reception is lost or the RSS emerges from the water for more than a few seconds, the SmartCastTM screen will be displayed until the RSS is placed back in the water and reception is regained. If objects are placed between the RSS and the PiranhaMax, reception may be lost. In addition, because of the nature of sonar, this product is not intended for use in swimming pools or small enclosed bodies of water. [. . . ]
