®
The FL-18 offers a patented split-screen flasher display. This allows
you to zoom in on the bottom six feet on the left side of the screen
while you watch the entire water column in real time on the right side.
The Bottom Lock feature stays locked on the bottom even as the boat is
bouncing up and down in big waves. The Auto Zoom Mode is fantastic
for watching perch or walleye while ice fishing. The FL-18 is equipped
with features like a built-in Low Power Mode for fishing waters under
20 feet. If offers five depth scales down to 200 feet, plus 10 interference
rejection settings.

FL-18 Modes
The Mode Control is divided left to right by power output. Starting
with the switch turned fully left:
LP > BL: Low Power Bottom Lock Mode
This mode locks the position of the bottom on the zoom side and
uses a lower power output. It's great for fishing in shallow water on
a wavy lake. Do not use it for ice fishing.
LP > AZ: Low Power Auto-Zoom Mode
This mode splits the screen into Zoom Mode and uses a lower
power level. Use this in deeper weedy or turbulent waters.
LP: Low Power Mode
This mode uses the standard display, but at the lower power setting.
Use this mode in shallow or weedy waters.
NORM: Normal Mode
Normal Mode uses full power and the full display. Use this for
normal viewing and for a reliable starting point.
AZ: Auto Zoom Mode
This mode splits the screen into Zoom Mode at normal power. Use
this mode for normal ice fishing conditions in deeper waters.
BL: Bottom Lock Mode
This mode locks the position of the bottom on the zoom side. It's
great for fishing on a wavy lake. Do not use it for ice fishing.
