BOTT
- This symbol in the upper-right corner of the display indicates bottom-tracking mode.
• Operation: Press the MENU button, then press the LEFT or RIGHT button until RANGE
BOTTOM appears. Press and release the UP or DOWN button to select automatic or
bottom-tracking mode, or press and hold UP or DOWN to set a manual range, then press
MENU to clear the menu.
NOTE: This feature enables you to put the entire screen into bottom track mode.
SCREENS - The screen menu lets you choose between display combinations: Bottom graph only
(NORMAL), Bottom graph and large readouts (STATUS), Bottom graph and a single extra large
value (FIXED), or Bottom graph and an extra large value ROTATING through the available data
(depth and temperature).
TIP: Changing from ROTATING to FIXED mode results in the last value shown during ROTATING mode to
be a FIXED display on screen.
GRAPH SPEED - The graph speed controls the maximum rate that the graph is shifted to the left. This
determines how much history is in the graph and therefore the shape of fish and bottom structure.
TIP: The graph speed slows down automatically in deeper water, because it takes more time for
echoes to return.
DEPTH ALARM - The depth alarm sounds when the depth (from the transducer to the estimated
bottom) is less than the setting.
• Operation: Press the MENU button, then press the LEFT or RIGHT button until DEPTH
ALARM appears. Press and hold the UP or DOWN to activate the alarm and set the depth.
Press and release the UP or DOWN button to turn the alarm on and off.

FISH ALARM - The bottom fish alarm chimes and the depth of the fish is also shown if there is
room on the display.
NOTE: A timer function prevents the alarm from chiming too often.
FISH D'TECT - The bottom fish alarm chimes and displays fish symbols for echoes that are likely
to be from fish. The depth of the fish symbol is also shown if there is room on the display. Three
sizes of symbols are used to indicate the relative signal strength of the echo, with the largest
representing the strongest echo.
- These symbols at the top of the screen indicate what strengths you have
chosen for the fish alarm.
NOTE: A timer function prevents the alarm from chiming too often.
TRUE VIEW / GRAY VIEW - This feature allows you to choose how the Fishin' Buddy 4200™ uses
grey shades to show bottom, fish and other objects in the water. True View
that displays weak echoes in light shades and strong echoes in dark shades. Gray view displays
the strongest echoes in gray to more clearly define the bottom.
ICE FISHING - The ice fishing mode control overrides the screen clutter control and increases the
gain significantly to help display smaller objects. Although this improves the picture in most ice
fishing situations, it may increase clutter and is normally turned off for other types of fishing.
UNITS - The Fishin' Buddy 4200™ can display in either imperial (U.S.) or metric units for depth and
temperature.
