UNITS ENG – Lets you select English or metric format for unit measurements.
UNITS SPD – Lets you select the units at which speed is displayed. You may select from MPH (Miles
Per Hour), KM/H (Kilometers Per Hour) or Knots.
LANGUAGE – System View displays only English at this time.
DEPTH OFFSET TO – Normally, this unit measures water depth from the face of the transducer (sen-
sor). Since the transducer is below the water, this distance is not the exact water depth. You can
change the depth reading using this depth offset feature. You have three depth offsets selections:
1. SENSOR – Will measure water depth from the face of the transducer. No setting to depth offset is
necessary.
2. WATERLINE – Will give water depth from the surface of the water. You will need to change the
depth offset setting below. Measure the distance between the face of the transducer and the water
line. Add this measurement into depth offset menu box below.
3. KEEL – Will give water depth from the keel of the boat. You will need to change the depth offset
setting below. Measure the distance between the transducer and the lowest part of the boat. Place
this measurement into depth offset menu box below. This offset will be a negative value.
DEPTH OFFSET – Activate the depth offset feature by adding the measurement taken above to com-
pensate for waterline or keel offset.
SEA TEMP OFFSET – The sea water temperature sensor can be calibrated to match actual sea water
temperature. Calculate the difference in degrees that the sea water temperature is off and enter it into
the menu window.
STEERING OFFSET – The steering sensor can be calibrated to compensate for inaccuracies. Calcu-
late the difference in degrees that the steering sensor is off and enter it into the menu window.
