Ghost Reject: Reduces the occurrence of "ghost" images,
which are duplicated or reflected images that are not
actually targets in the water. The Ghost Reject setting
sends more transmit power forward in the water to
see farther with less noise generated by the bottom.
Adjusting the Ghost Reject and Noise Reject settings
together reduces the occurrence of "ghost" images
most effectively. This feature is available in LiveScope
Forward orientation only.
TVG: Adjusts the time varying gain, which can reduce
noise.
This control is best used for situations when you want
to control and suppress clutter or noise near the water
surface. It also allows for the display of targets near the
surface that are otherwise hidden or masked by surface
noise.
Overlay Data: Sets the data shown on the sonar screen.
Installation: Configures the transducer

LiveScope and Perspective Appearance Settings

From the LiveScope or Perspective sonar view, select
Options > Sonar Setup > Appearance.
Color Scheme: Sets the color palette.
Color Gain: Adjusts the contrast of colors shown on the
screen.
You can select a higher color gain value to see minor
variances in targets with large color changes. You can
select a lower color gain value to see more similar
colors in the same situation.
Trails: Sets the how long the trails appear on the screen.
The trails show the movement of the target.
Bottom Fill: Colors the bottom brown to distinguish it from
the water returns. Not available in Perspective mode.

LiveScope and Perspective Layout Settings

From the LiveScope or Perspective sonar view, select
Options > Sonar Setup > Layout.
Grid Overlay: Shows a grid of range lines. The Grid
option shows a square grid. The Radial option shows
a circular grid with radial angle lines.
Scroll History: Shows the sonar history on the side of the
screen. Not available in Perspective mode.
Beam Icon: Selects the icon used to show the direction of
the transducer beam.
Beam Overlay: Enables an outline to show where the
transducers are oriented in relation to each other,
when two or more calibrated Panoptix transducers are
connected.
On-screen Control: Shows the on-screen buttons.
Reverse Range: Adjusts the amount of range shown
behind the transducer.
Compress Range: In forward views, compresses the
forward range farther away from the boat and expands
the range closer to the boat. This allows you to

The marine radar transmits microwave energy that has
the potential to be harmful to humans and animals.
Before beginning radar transmission, verify that the area
around the radar is clear. The radar transmits a beam
approximately 12° above and below a line extending
horizontally from the center of the radar.
To avoid possible personal injury, do not look directly
at the antenna at close range when the radar is
transmitting. Eyes are the most sensitive part of the body
to electromagnetic energy.
When you connect your compatible chartplotter to an
optional Garmin marine radar, such as a GMR
6 radar or a GMR 24 xHD, you can view more information
about your surroundings.
The radar transmits a narrow beam of microwave energy
as it rotates to a 360° pattern. When the transmitted
energy contacts a target, some of that energy is reflected
back to the radar.

down view transducers are installed at a zero-degree
angle.
