Section 3: Basic Sonar Operation

This section addresses the unit's most basic sonar operations.
Before you turn on the sonar unit, it's a good idea to learn about the
different keys, the Main Menu, the four Page screens and how they all
work together. BUT, if you just can't wait to get on the water, turn to
the one-page Quick Reference on page 51.
