Big Digits View

Big Digits View provides digital data in a large, easy-to-see format. Depth is always displayed.
Readouts for temperature, speed and Triplog information are displayed automatically if the
appropriate accessory is connected to the Matrix™. The Triplog shows distance traveled, average
speed, and time elapsed since the Triplog was last reset. The digital readouts in the Big Digits View
cannot be customized.

Side Beam View

Side Beam View is only available if you have connected a QuadraBeam™ transducer accessory and
when Transducer Select is set to QuadraBeam™ (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select). The
QuadraBeam™ transducer requires a separate purchase. This view shows sonar information from
both the left and right 90° 455 kHz beams and the 200 kHz down-looking beam in one view. The
top portion of the display presents a historical log of sonar returns from the 200 kHz down-looking
sonar. The bottom portion of the display presents a historical log of sonar returns from the 455 kHz
right- and left-looking sonar. New information appears at the top, and scrolls down the display.

The sonar information from the side-looking beams reveals bottom contour, structure and fish
similar to the down-looking beam, but the area covered is to the left and right of the area shown
in the down-looking portion, so you actually see more of the bottom. The distance covered by the
right and left 90° beams is based on the depth setting for the down-looking beam, up to a
maximum of 160 feet.
