Sonar X-Press™ Menu
Lower Range
Settings: Auto, 10 to 1500 feet, 3 to 500 meters
[International Models only]; Default = Auto
Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be displayed by the unit.
Auto: The Lower Range will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom
automatically. Auto is the default setting.
Manual: You can adjust the Lower Range to lock the unit on a particular
depth. will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen to
indicate the unit is in Manual mode. Adjust the Upper and Lower Range
together to view a specific depth range, especially when looking for fish or
bottom structure.
NOTE: Aminimum distanceof 10 feet will bemaintained betweenthe Upper and
Lower Range regardless of the settings entered manually.
Chart Speed
Settings: 1-10, where 1 = Slow, 10 = Fastest
Default = 5
Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar information moves
across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown.
A faster speed shows more information and is preferred by most anglers;
however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower
speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish
details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of
the Chart Speed setting, the RTS Window™ will update at themaximum rate
possible for the depth conditions.
Quad Layout
(with optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™
Transducer, Side Beam View only)
Settings: Default, Classic, Slanted, Default = Default
Quad Layout allows you to choose how sonar information is displayed in the
Side Beam View. The Side Beam View displays sonar data from the left and
right 455 kHz beams, as well as the 200 kHz down-looking beam. The sonar
data can be displayed in any of the following layouts by changing the Quad
Layout setting: Default, Classic, and Slanted. See Views:SideBeamView for
more information.
NOTE: Quad Layout is only available when an optional-purchase QuadraBeam
PLUS™ transducer is attached and the Side Beam View is active (see Sonar
Menu Tab: Transducer Select).
For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in
the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower
Depth Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range,
which allows you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the
display went all the way to the bottom.
