This unit is so advanced, you can just press the "ON" button and let it do all the work. However, taking manual control enables you to open up a wholeworld of features not available in other sonars. Thisis where it all begins, and improper installation can cause problems down the road. Afteryou've read these instructions and installedyour X-5, read the rest of this manual in detail. [. . . ] KEYS TO ADJUST VOLUME(the sensitivitykeys are used to adjust thevolume ofthe speaker) and the speaker will begin beeping. Pressing the right arrow key will increasethevolume, the leftarrow key decreases it. Thesensitivitybarwill move to the right or left, signifying the volume level. The speaker will stop beeping six seconds afterthe last key has been pressed. To view the chart speed withoutchanging it press 2nd, STOP!The sensitivity bar will disappear and the chart speed bar will replace it for a six seconds. At times it is desirable to stop or "freeze" the display to examine an echo before it scrolls off the 'screen. Pressing the STOP/RESUMEkey once will freeze the display. In the upper leftcornerof thedisplay, the word "AUTO" will chsnge to "STOP" to signify that the X-5 is in the "freeze" mode. Pressing STOP/RESUMEagain will start the display moving at the last chart speed setting. If the digital sonar is on, the bottom depth will continueto bedisplayed on thescreen. Thedigital does notstop whenthe chart is in the "freeze" mode. 5= CLEAR DIST LOG SCALE MARKERS There are ten scale markersprinted on both sides of theX-5'sdisplay to help you determine what the depth of a target is. For example, if the range is 0-60feet, and a target (such as a fish) was displayed next to the fifth line, then it is 30feet deep. 5 lines times 6 feet per line = 30 feet)This method works no matter what the upper and lowerlimits are, but to make it easier useupper and lower limits in multiples often, i. e. 10, 20, 30, etc. The distance log will start operating from the time the X-5 is first turned on. With an upper limit of 0 and a lower limit of 60, then each scale mark is 6 feet which places the fish at approximately54 feet. Since FASTRAK is so close to the scale markers, it makes it a little easier to line up the target's depth with the scale. To turn FASTRAK off, press the 1 key. 31 14 PDF compression, OCR, web-optimization with CVISION's PdfCompressor COMMAND The X-5 has manymore featuresthan available keys.
