Ping Mode Function - Simrad ES80 Reference Manual

Note
This function must be used with care. It will start the ES80 even if your vessel is in
dry dock. You must never set the ES80 into normal operation when the ship is in
dry dock. If the transducer is activated when out of the water it may be damaged
beyond repair. It is therefore very important that the ES80 system remains switched
off when the vessel is in dry dock, and that no one tries to use it.
