Fish I.d.™ (Fish Symbols & Depths) - Lowrance LCX-112C Operation Instructions Manual

Fish I.D.™ (Fish Symbols & Depths)
The Fish I.D. feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as
fish. The microcomputer analyzes all echoes and eliminates surface
clutter, thermoclines, and other undesirable signals. In most instances,
remaining targets are fish. The Fish I.D. feature displays fish symbols
on the screen in place of the actual fish echoes.
There are several fish symbol sizes. These are used to designate the
relative size between targets. In other words, Fish I.D. displays a small
fish symbol when it recognizes a target as a small fish, a medium fish
symbol on a larger target and so on.
The sonar's microcomputer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled. It can't
distinguish between fish and other suspended objects such as trotlines,
turtles, submerged floats, air bubbles, etc. Individual tree limbs extending
outward from a group of limbs are the hardest objects for the Fish I.D.
feature to distinguish from fish.
You may see fish symbols on the screen when there actually are no fish.
The reverse also is true.
Does that mean Fish I.D. is broken? No. The feature is interpreting sonar
returns in a specific way to help take some of the work out of reading the
screen. Remember: Fish I.D. is one of the many tools we provide so you
can analyze your sonar returns for maximum fish finding information.
This and other features can help you successfully "see" beneath the boat
under varied water and fishing conditions. Practice with Fish I.D. mode
on and off to become more familiar with it. The default for Fish I.D. is off.
