Range; Frequency - Lowrance Elite-5x HDI Operation Manual

NOTE: You can make changes (+/-40%)
to sensitivity with Auto Sensitivity turned
on. You will have to turn it off to make
significant adjustments.

Range

Selects the deepest range shown on
the display. Range settings display the
section of the water column from the
water surface to the selected depth
range.
If you select too shallow a depth range, the unit will
not be able to lock onto the bottom.
Custom Range — Upper and Lower Limits
Used to select the upper limit and lower limit of
a section of the water column. That allows you to
view a section of the water column that does not
include the water surface. Upper and lower limits
must be at least 5 ft (2m) apart.

nOTe: When using a custom range,
you may not receive any digital depth
readings, or you may receive incorrect
depth information.

Frequency

Controls the transducer frequency used by the
unit. This unit supports three conventional sonar
frequencies: 50kHz, 83kHz and 200kHz.
200 kHz has the highest sensitivity and best target
separation in shallow water. 83 kHz offers a wider
cone angle for more water coverage. 50 kHz pro-
vides the best depth penetration.
