  • Page 7: How Sonar Works

    It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal. DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar Your Matrix 97 Fishing System is shipped with a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately or compared side-by-side.
  • Page 8: Wideside Sonar (With Optional-Purchase Wideside Transducer)

    WideSide Sonar (with Optional-Purchase WideSide Transducer) Your Matrix 97 Fishing System also supports WideSide sonar with the purchase of an additional WideSide transducer. The WideSide transducer is a specialized "side-looking" transducer that is extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The WideSide transducer uses three different sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right and straight down from your boat.
  • Page 9: Multi-Media Card (Mmc)

    Europe and Southeast Asia, including Detailed Map Australia and New Zealand (International models). Your Matrix Fishing System uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display.

  • Page 13: Sonar View

    Sonar View Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display to the left.
  • Page 14: Understanding Sonar History

    Understanding Sonar History It is important to understand the significance of the Matrix Fishing System display. The display does NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time.
  • Page 15: Bottom Presentation

    Bottom Presentation As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display.
  • Page 16: Sonar Zoom View

    Sonar Zoom View Sonar Zoom View increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom View, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the full range view on the right and the zoomed view on the left.
