4.3 Manual Sounder Operation
Manual operation is useful for observing fish schools and bottom using a fixed gain setting.
The gain, range and range shift functions used together give you the means to select the
depth you can see on the screen. The basic range can be thought of as providing a
“window” into the water column and range shifting as moving the “window” to the desired
depth.
