[. . . ] The backlight is very effective for low-light and nighttime operation. When the backlight is on, the Wide Paramount will consume more power than with the backlight off. This is important when using the Wide Paramount in a portable configuration powered by a separate battery, or when powering the unit from a trolling motor battery. At power-up, the display and keypad backlight will be on so the user can locate the controls in darkness. After a period of about 5 seconds, the light will power-off unless the LIGHT button is pressed. NOTE: When powering the unit from a battery such as in portable applications, avoiding use of the backlight prolongs battery life. The VIEW button selects one of several screen configurations or "views" possible depending on the transducer in use. When using the standard (Tribeam) transducer, the VIEW button toggles the display between the full-screen 2D View, Contour View, and "Monster Digits" View. The 2D View is the default view, and the view which is first seen at power-up. This view graphically depicts the width of coverage of the bottom terrain. The boat icon represents the location of the user's boat relative to the on-screen information. The information on the far right side of the screen is the most current or the terrain directly beneath the boat. The width of the bottom depiction represents the width of sonar coverage of the bottom terrain. Remember that only the 20 degree center beam is used to draw bottom information. As the depth of the water increases, the width of bottom coverage increases also. The Contour View is also useful for clearly separating structure from the bottom. Information shown above the bottom depiction on the far side of the display represents structure or any return deemed not to be a part of the bottom. Information on the near side of the bottom depiction represents the texture and composition of the bottom. Fish ID attaches fish returns to the bottom at a point which represents the left-right location of the return. Fish targets identified in the left beam are attached to the left side of the bottom depiction, fish targets seen in the right beam are attached to the right side of the bottom depiction. The boat icon represents the location of the user's boat relative to the on-screen information. Pressing VIEW again will select the Monster Digits View, which increases the size of key digital information so that it can be viewed from a great distance. If a Wide Side transducer is being used (see Using Alternative Transducers), the VIEW button is used to select one of four views available: Both, Left, Right, and Down. You can select "side" simulator to view this presentation even if a Wide Side transducer is not connected. [. . . ] In operation, only the center beam is used to display this depth, however, the depth number is another means of comparison. When in diagnostic, two menus are available to the user: Depth Range, and Diagnostic. The Depth Range menu can be used normally to control the range of information displayed in the Diagnostic diagrams. The Diagnostic menu is used to exit the Diagnostic function and return to the Start-Up screen. USING ALTERNATIVE TRANSDUCERS The Wide Paramount is designed to operate with the Tri-Beam transducer included standard with the product. [. . . ]
