rectify them.

comes irregular
Weak echo
Somewhat strange
color

noise

angle is changed
• Check power cable.
• Check ship's mains.
• First check the fuse in the processor unit. If it is OK, have a qual-
ified technician check the fuse in the transceiver unit.
• Rough seas. Distance to the bottom changes due to rolling and
pitching.
• Long range selected. Transmission period is longer so ship's
pitching and rolling are apt to affect detection of echo.
• Output power set to minimum. Set [TX OUTPUT] ([SONAR]
menu) to maximum.
• Excessive TVG. Readjust TVG NEAR and FAR on the [SO-
NAR] menu.
• Brilliance too low. Adjust display brilliance.
• Equipment not grounded properly. Check equipment ground.
• Power cable is too close to the signal cable. Relocate power ca-
ble or signal cable.
• Debris may be on sea surface. Reject unwanted noise with the
interference rejector on the [SONAR] menu.
• Problem in tilt mechanism or control line. Contact a FURUNO
agent or dealer for advice.
