Humminbird SOLIX Series Operation Manual page 233

6. Sonar Capabilities: On the Transducer Setup menu, add a check mark
next to each sonar capability for the selected transducer.
For example, for a 2D transducer, the 2D Sonar menu needs to be
checked. For a Side Imaging transducer, 2D Sonar, SI Sonar, and DI
Sonar need to be checked because the transducer includes all three
capabilities. See the illustrations for examples.
NOTE: The capabilities of your sonar model are shown on the packaging,
or you can find your transducer on our Web site at humminbird.com.
7. Frequencies: Select the Frequency Capability Menu under each checked
sonar capability. Confirm that all frequencies in the list are selected, so
all frequencies are enabled. (You can select individual frequencies to
view at a later time.)
8. Temp: If the transducer includes a temperature probe, add a check mark
to Temp.
9. Max Depth (optional): When Max Depth is set to Auto, the maximum
depth is determined by the transducer frequency, and the control head
will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capacity of the unit).
Auto is the recommended setting for this menu.
To manually set the Max Depth, select MAN (Manual), and adjust the
slider to the maximum depth setting. The transducer will not attempt to
acquire sonar data below that depth, so more detail will be shown on the
sonar view.
10. Depth Offset (optional): Depth Offset adjusts the digital depth readout
to indicate the distance from the transducer to the waterline.
11.Repeat the steps in this section for each transducer as needed.
NOTE: Make sure all capabilities have a check mark so the full functionality
of the transducer is enabled. To select sonar sources from the network,
see Set up your Humminbird Network.
NOTE: The menu options are determined by the connected transducer.
Select Beams and Display Frequencies
If the selected transducer (sonar source) includes more than one beam, you can select which beam will be displayed in the sonar
view. The beams selected in this menu affect all units that are sharing the sonar source. See Set up your Humminbird Network:
Select Sonar Sources for details.
Select Frequencies for the 2D Sonar View (not recommended)
The frequencies selected in this menu affect all units that are sharing the sonar source. For example, if you select the blended
Medium/High Frequency Select mode for one control head, and you select the single Medium Frequency Select mode on another
control head, the control head with the single Medium Frequency selection will still be pinging the High Frequency in the background
even though it is not displayed on the view.
NOTE: Humminbird has provided the best settings for your unit. You can use the settings included with your control head, or you
can adjust these advanced options.
QUICK TIP! You can also select this menu on the status bar and in the X-Press Menu in 2D Sonar View.
