Sonar View - Humminbird HELIX 5 SERIES Operation Manual

Sonar View

Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. The most recent sonar returns are charted
on the right side of the display. As new information is received, the historical information scrolls
left across the display.
• Upper and Lower Depth Range numbers indicate the distance from the surface of the
water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom.
• Depth is automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on the display, although you
can adjust it manually as well (see Sonar X-Press Menu).
• Digital Readouts shown on the display will change based on the Select Readouts settings
or the optional-purchase accessories attached (see Views: Change Digital Readouts).
• Freeze Frame: Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to freeze the display and move the cursor
over a sonar return. The depth of the sonar return will be displayed in the cursor dialog
box.

NOTE: If the Depth number is flashing, it means that the unit is having trouble locating the bottom. This
usually happens if the water is too deep, the transducer is out of the water, the boat is moving too fast, or
for any other reason that the unit can't accurately receive continuous data.
