There are six color mode options for the flasher pages, and seven for the
sonar chart page. The Ice Flasher default color is the IceView mode, but
other settings may suit your eyes better.
For example, some of our fishing friends favor the striking green-on-
black contrast of the Nightview mode…they use it a lot, even in broad
daylight! Experiment with the color modes to see which ones work best
for you under various fishing and lighting conditions.
To change the Flasher or Ice Flasher page color scheme:

Scouting Through the Ice
Since the 1960s, Lowrance flasher sonars have helped anglers hunt fish
beneath the ice without drilling holes. That's because your IceMachine
works as well through ice as it does through water!
This technique works best early in the winter fishing season, when ice
is clear and free of bubble formation. There must also be wet, bubble-
free contact between the transducer and the ice.
To shoot through solid ice, first brush away any snow from the spot you
want to search. Then, pour a small amount of non-toxic recreational
vehicle antifreeze onto the surface and place the transducer (face down)
in the puddle.
