4.7 Reducing Low Level Noise
Dots may appear over most of the screen. This is mainly due to sediment in the
water, or noise. This noise can be suppressed by adjusting CLUTTER on the
SOUNDER menu.

4. Use the trackball
to select clutter rejection level desired; 0 (OFF) through 16,
default setting, 9. The higher the number the higher the degree of
suppression. Note that the clutter suppressor may erase weak echoes.
Therefore, turn off the clutter when its use is not required.
5. Press the RETURN soft key followed by the [MENU] key to close the menu.
Note: Unlike the signal level feature, clutter does not erase echoes. However, if
you do not wish to change the relation between weak and strong echoes,
use signal level instead.
