User Manual
1. Overview
The Fish Finder consists of a high power transmitter, sensitive receiver and a
transducer. The Fish Finder sends an electrical pulse to the transducer which
contains an element that converts the pulse into acoustic (sound) wave which is
sent through the water. As this wave travels from the transducer to the bottom, it
may strike fish, structures, thermal clines (temperature changes in the water).
When the wave strikes an object(s) a certain amount of the wave is reflected back
to the transducer depending on the composition and shape of the object. When
the reflected wave is returned to the transducer it is converted into an voltage
and is amplified by the receiver, processed and sent to the display. The speed of
sound in water is roughly 4800 ft./sec, so the time lapse between the transmitted
signal and the received echo can be measured and the distance to the object
determined.

Fish Finder connected operates to improve your fishing.
2.1 UNDERSTANDING THE FISH FINDER PAGE
The display on chart plotters shows a history of time of the echoes received by
the transducer. The chart plotters have a menu that allows adjustments to re-
ceiver sensitivity, depth range and scrolling speed of the Fish Finder display.

The following is a short description of terms listed in the previous Fig. 2.1:
Warning Message
Flashing label "Simulation" when the echo sounder is in Simulation mode.
Fish Finder Display
Graphic presentation of sonar soundings recorded as a continuous profile
scrolling across the screen from right to left. Such recordings represent the
image of the water beneath your boat, items appear as they pass under your
transducer; the items on the right side of the screen are closer to you than
those on the left. The correct interpretation of the Fish Finder Display allows
retrieving useful information about what is under the boat. See the following
Par. 2.1.1 for more information.
Color Bar
Colored scale located on the left side of the screen that shows the colors used
in the Fish Finder Display to represent the echoes strength. The color on the
top of the bar represents the maximum sonar strength, while the color on the
bottom of the bar represents the minimum sonar strength.
12 User Manual
Digital Depth
Readout of the current bottom depth.
Water Temperature
Readout of the current water temperature returned by the TEMP 1 sensor
included into specific transducers.
Alarm Bar
Bars showing the shallow water and deep water alarm values. The alarm is
triggered when depth is outside the range.
Depth ruler
Vertical graduated bar. It is a scale which reflects the depth of the area being
displayed.
Variable Depth Marker (VDM)
Horizontal line on to the Fish Finder Display with a depth label. The up/down
cursor keys can move it up and down. The label displays the depth of the
cursor position. It can be moved to any location pinpointing the depth of a
target.
Zoom Bar
Bar showing the portion of the Fish Finder Display currently represented in
the zoomed window (on the left part of the screen). It is turned on selecting
Zoom Full display page.
A-Scope
A real time representation of fish and bottom features passing through the
beam of the transducer. It is drawn as horizontal lines whose length and hue
is proportional to the sonar strength returned. When the default palette is
selected, the strongest sonar returns will be shown as the color displayed of
the top of Color Bar while the weakest as the bottom color.
Operating Frequency
Readout of the selected operating frequency.
