Getting Started
The available languages are determined by your Humminbird model.
Set the maximum depth of the body of water. When Max Depth is set to Auto, the control
head will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capabilities of the unit). When Max
Depth is set to match your water maximum depth, the control head will not attempt to
acquire sonar data below that depth, so more detail will be shown on the display.
Side Imaging units default to the Side Imaging range setting if the SI Range is set deeper
than the Max Depth. See Side Imaging Overview for more information.
Water Type affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings and configures the control
head for operation in fresh or salt water.
In salt water, you can also choose the shallow or deep setting. If the depth is more than 330
ft (100 m), select Salt (deep).
