Low Power Mode

( Not Available on FL-8
Low Power Mode, or LP Mode, reduces the output power of your flasher. It is useful for
situations where the gain cannot be turned down enough in Normal Mode. Use the Low
Power Mode only when you need to. Usually, you'll use it in only very shallow or very
weedy conditions.
FL-18
Activate the Low Power Mode (LP) by switching the Mode
control to the left. The range can be set at any position. If you
switch to the left of LP, you can activate the 6' AZ or 6' BL Modes
in Low Power Mode.
FLX-12
Activate the Low Power Mode by switching the range control
from OFF to the left. The range will be set to 20 Foot, Low Power.
FLX-20
Activate the Low Power Mode by switching the mode control
from to the left. The first low power mode provides a normal
view. The LP-AZ mode places the unit in the split-screen 6' Auto
Zoom mode and Low Power.
FLX-28
Activate the Low Power Mode by switching the mode control to
the LP setting. Note that Digital Depth is disabled in LP Mode.
NOTE: Low Power Mode will not affect how much battery power is required to run the
flasher. Switching to Low Power Mode will not increase your running time.
NOTE: You can have a Low Power Mode feature on an FL-8
Vexilar S-Cable. Learn more about it on page 54.

Auto Zoom
( FL-18, FLX-20 & FLX-28 Only )
Auto Zoom (AZ) puts the flasher into a split-screen view, with the complete water column on
the right and a magnified view from the bottom on the left. When you switch to Auto Zoom
Mode, the flasher automatically selects the magnified bottom view for you. However, you
do need to have the flasher set to a depth range in which the bottom is in view.
FL-18
Activate Auto
Zoom by
switching the
Mode control
to the AZ
selection on
the right or the
left. The right
selection operates Auto Zoom at the
normal power level. The left selection
operates Auto Zoom in Low Power
Mode.
FLX-28 Auto Zoom
Activate the Auto Zoom by switching the Mode
control to the right for either the normal powered
AZ (6') or AZ x2 (12') setting.
FLX-20 Color Modes
The FLX-20 allows for 3 different color modes. To adjust the modes, switch the Mode
control to CS, then press in on the Gain control. Each time you press the control, you will
see the color pallet change between Red, Yellow and Green, to Red and Yellow, and to
just Red alone. This makes for a good way to "weed-out" weaker signals if desired.
FLX-20 Demo Mode
Like the FLX-28, the FLX-20 also incorporates a Demo Mode, so you can see the display
work in your home, as you read this manual. To turn on Demo Mode, set the Mode control
to Normal, rotate the Gain control to Maximum, then press in on the control while you
power ON the unit.
FLX-20
Activate the
Auto Zoom by
switching the
Mode control
to either the
AZ (6') or
AZx2 (12')
setting to the
right, or the LP-AZ (6') setting to the left.
