Panoptix LiveScope Sonar View
This sonar view shows a live view of what is in front of or below
the boat and can be used to see fish and structures.

Suspended targets or fish
Bottom of the body of water
Flasher View
The flasher shows sonar information on a circular depth scale,
indicating what is beneath your boat. It is organized as a ring
that starts at the top and progresses clockwise. Depth is
indicated by the scale inside the ring. Sonar information flashes
on the ring when it is received at the depth indicated.
The flasher colors indicate different strengths of the sonar
return. The default color scheme follows a traditional sonar color
palette, in which yellow indicates the strongest return, orange
indicates a strong return, red indicates a weaker return, blue
indicates the weakest return, and white indicates no return.
Select Flasher.

Selecting the Transducer Type
Before you can select the transducer type, you must know what
kind of transducer you have.
This chartplotter is compatible with a range of accessory
transducers, including the Garmin ClearVü
are available at garmin.com/transducers.
If you are connecting a transducer that was not included with the
chartplotter, you may need to set the transducer type to make
the sonar function properly.

From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup >
Installation > Transducer Type.

Select an option:
• If your transducer is listed, select it from the list.
• If you have a 200/77 kHz, dual-beam transducer, select
Dual Beam (200/77 kHz).
• If you have a 200/50 kHz, dual-frequency transducer,
select Dual Frequency (200/50 kHz).
Calibrating the Compass
Before you can calibrate the compass, the transducer must be
installed on the shaft far enough away from the trolling motor to
avoid magnetic interference, and deployed in the water.
Calibration must be of sufficient quality to enable the internal
compass.
NOTE: To use the compass, you must mount the transducer on
the transom or the trolling motor shaft. The compass may not
work when you mount the transducer on the motor.
NOTE: For best results, you should use a heading sensor such
as the SteadyCast
heading sensor. The heading sensor shows
™
the direction the transducer is pointing relative to the boat.
NOTE: Compass calibration is available only for transducers
with an internal compass, such as the PS21-TR transducer.
You can begin turning your boat before calibrating, but you must
fully rotate your boat 1.5 times during calibration.
