Manually adjusting the range enables you to view a
specified range, which can be useful for tracking a
bottom that has large terrain changes, such as a drop-
offs or cliffs. The bottom can appear on the screen as
long as it appears within the range you have set.
Available in Perspective sonar view.
Transmit: Stops the active transducer from transmitting.
Sonar Setup: Adjusts the setup of the transducer and the
appearance of the sonar returns

Edit Overlays: Adjusts the data shown on the screen
(Customizing the Data Overlays, page
LiveScope and Perspective Sonar Setup
From the LiveScope or Perspective sonar view, select
Menu > Sonar Setup.
Appearance: Configures the appearance of the sonar
screen
(LiveScope and Perspective Appearance
Settings, page
44).
Layout: Configures the layout of the sonar screen
(LiveScope and Perspective Layout Settings,
page
44).
Noise Reject: Reduces noise and interference and
attempts to remove returns that are not actually targets
in the water.
Ghost Reject: Reduces the occurrence of "ghost"
images, which are duplicated or reflected images that
are not actually targets in the water. The Ghost Reject
setting sends more transmit power forward in the water
to see farther with less noise generated by the bottom.
Adjusting the Ghost Reject and Noise Reject settings
together reduces the occurrence of "ghost" images
most effectively. This feature is available in LiveScope
Forward orientation only.
TVG: Adjusts the time varying gain, which can reduce
noise.
This control is best used for situations when you want
to control and suppress clutter or noise near the water
surface. It also allows for the display of targets near the
surface that are otherwise hidden or masked by
surface noise.
Overlay Data: Sets the data shown on the sonar screen.
Installation: Configures the transducer

LiveScope and Perspective Appearance Settings
From the LiveScope or Perspective sonar view, select
Menu > Sonar Setup > Appearance.
Color Scheme: Sets the color palette.
Color Gain: Adjusts the contrast of colors shown on the
screen.
You can select a higher color gain value to see minor
variances in targets with large color changes. You can
select a lower color gain value to see more similar
colors in the same situation.

(Traditional,
Trails: Sets the how long the trails appear on the screen.
The trails show the movement of the target.
Bottom Fill: Colors the bottom brown to distinguish it
from the water returns. Not available in Perspective
mode.
LiveScope and Perspective Layout Settings
From the LiveScope or Perspective sonar view, select
Menu > Sonar Setup > Layout.
Grid Overlay: Shows a grid of range lines. The Grid
option shows a square grid. The Radial option shows a
circular grid with radial angle lines.
Scroll History: Shows the sonar history on the side of the
screen. Not available in Perspective mode.
Beam Icon: Selects the icon used to show the direction of
the transducer beam.
Beam Overlay: Enables an outline to show where the
transducers are oriented in relation to each other, when
two or more calibrated Panoptix transducers are
connected.
On-screen Control: Shows the on-screen buttons.
Reverse Range: Adjusts the amount of range shown
behind the transducer.
Compress Range: In forward views, compresses the
forward range farther away from the boat and expands
the range closer to the boat. This allows you to see
closer objects more clearly while keeping farther
objects on the screen.
Panoptix Transducer Installation Settings
From a Panoptix sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup
> Installation.
Install Depth: Sets the depth below the water line where
the Panoptix transducer is mounted. Entering the
actual depth at which the transducer is mounted results
in a more accurate visual presentation of what is in the
water.
Bow Offset: Sets the distance between the bow and the
forward view Panoptix transducer installation location.
This allows you to view the forward distance from the
bow instead of the transducer location.
This applies to Panoptix transducers in the FrontVü,
LiveVü Forward, and RealVü 3D Forward sonar views.
Beam Width: Sets the width of the down view Panoptix
transducer beam. Narrow beam widths allow you to
see deeper and farther. Wider beam widths allow you
to see more coverage area.
This applies to Panoptix transducers in the FrontVü,
LiveVü Down, and LiveVü Forward sonar views.
Use AHRS: Enables the internal attitude heading and
reference system (AHRS) sensors to detect the
installation angle of the Panoptix transducer
automatically. When this setting is turned off, you can
enter the specific installation angle for the transducer
using the Pitch Angle setting. Many forward view
transducers are installed at a 45-degree angle and
