Using the Sonar Page

The Sonar page is where your Fishfinder 250/250C becomes a
powerful fishfinder/flasher. If the unit does not detect a transducer,
a "Sonar Turned Off" message is displayed on the Sonar page. If in
Simulator mode, a "Running Simulator" message appears.
You can adjust the unit's backlight and contrast settings to improve
screen readability.
To change the backlight/contrast settings:
1. Press and release POWER/BACKLIGHT to display the
light/contrast adjustment window. The adjustment window
automatically disappears when idle for 20 seconds.
2. Press the Up or Down ARROW keys to change the backlight
setting. Press and release POWER/BACKLIGHT to toggle
the backlight setting between maximum, user-set, and
minimum brightness levels.
3. Press the Left or Right ARROW keys to change the contrast
setting.
4. Press ENTER to return to the Sonar page.

The currently selected adjustment option (page 17) is displayed in
the top left of the screen. Directly below the adjustment option, the
screen displays numeric data such as Depth, Water Temperature
and Water Speed (pages 23-24). The middle of the page contains
a right-to-left moving sonar image of the water beneath your boat.
Items appear as they pass under your transducer. Items on the right
side of the screen are closer to you than those on the left. Along the
right side of the screen is a scale that reflects the depth of the area
being displayed.
