Forward View (Full Screen)
While in the Control Center press the leftmost button
labeled "FWD" to view a full screen forward looking
display. At the top right of the screen the current depth
beneath the boat is shown in digital numbers. If the optional
speed/temperature transducer is connected to the unit, the
boat's speed is displayed just to the left of the digital depth
as shown on the picture above.
The vertical scale at the far left of the display shows the
forward range at the center of the display. In this example,
the outer range ring is 40 feet. A target 1/2 this distance
forward would be located at 20 feet in front of the boat.
The numbers on the outer range ring indicate the bearing
from the bow of the boat. The display will show targets up
to +/- 45 degrees ahead of the boat.
Press the GO button to bring up additional adjustments and
features for this forward looking view. Your display menus
should appear as on the left.

Range Adjustment soft key menu as shown at left. Press
the button labeled "AUTO" if you would like the Sea

adjust the range as bottom conditions change. To manually
adjust the range press either the range button labeled " "

depth adjustment, the AUTO range mode is turned off and
will remain off until the button labeled AUTO is again

labeled AUTO will be shown in reverse video (white on
black). To return to the main forward looking menu, press
the left soft key labeled "LAST".
