RANGE Both 8 degree and 20 degree transducers give accurate bottom read- The range automatically changes to keep the bottom signal on the display when the unit is in automatic. The range cannot be manually changed when the unit is in the automatic mode.
iii _ta sa • •a Cu a h-in -IL, TRANSDUCERS AND CONE ANGLES The sound waves from the transducer spread out into the water in a cone shaped beam. This looks much like the beam from a flashlight. The angle between the outside edges of the cone is the cone angle.
FISH I.D. MODE 3 - Big digital. The Fish 1.0. feature is automatically on when the unit is first turned on. The computer inside the unit analyzes all echoes, filtering out unwanted signals. It helps eliminate surface clutter, thermoclines, and other un- desirable signals.
