Locating the bottom (seafloor) is important for the EK80. The EK80 needs this
bottom lock to locate the correct depth, and to stay on it during the operation, even
if the depth changes continuously. Occasionally, difficult environmental, water or
bottom conditions may inhibit a bottom lock.
If the EK80 is unable to find the bottom (seafloor) you may need to change the
bottom detection parameters.
