Glossary

Sonar Terms:
Alarm, Depth: Depth Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds when depth
is less than or equal to the setting.
Alarm, Temperature: Temperature Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds
when the water surface temperature equals the setting.
Backlight: Backlight is a user-controllable illumination for the LCD for night and low light
use.
Beam (Sonar Beam): A sonar beam is the wide, cone-shaped projection of sound waves
formed as sound travels underwater. See Cone Angle.
Big Digits View: Big Digits View is a Humminbird® feature that displays the sonar graph
and enlarged digital readouts for easy reading from a distance. This is a great tool when
monitoring the digital depth is important - such as with higher boat speeds, or when
viewing the unit from a distance. When speed input is available, the Big Digits View also
shows the TripLog. See TripLog.
Bottom Black: Bottom Black is a Humminbird® feature that "fills in" the area of the
display below the bottom contour. Bottom Black is preferred by some anglers because of
its high contrast and easy readability, even though it can obscure bottom hardness
information.
Bottom Contour: Bottom Contour is the profile of the bottom graphed to the display
as the depth changes.
Bottom Hardness: Bottom Hardness is the density (or composition) of the bottom,
which can often be determined by interpreting the main sonar return. Varying levels of
hardness can be determined by interpreting the "thickness" of the sonar return. Hard
returns appear thin and black, softer returns appear thicker and less black. It is important
to note that a sonar return from a sloping bottom can have the appearance of a softer
bottom.
Cavitation: Cavitation is the effect of air bubbles created as the propeller rotates and the
boat moves through the water.
