Using The Wide Optic; Simulator Operation - Humminbird Wide Optic Operation Manual

USING THE WIDE OPTIC

The Wide Optic is completely automatic and easy to use. Simply press the POWER button and the unit
will locate and track the bottom from 2' to 600' changing ranges as necessary, display any structure or
suspended fish and work at speeds from 0 to over 70 mph.
If POWER is the only button you use, you will benefit from the advanced automatic bottom tracking of the
Wide Optic. However, if you choose to experiment with the many features and controls the Wide Optic
offers, you can customize the presentation of information to suit your particular needs.

SIMULATOR OPERATION

Once the Simulator mode is selected, the next screen will allow you to
select either "down" simulator or "side" simulator (the "down" selection
simulates normal operation of the unit with the Tri-beam transducer
connected). "Down" simulator is the default setting, so if no adjustment is
made, the down simulator will be selected. The "side" simulator
simulates operation with a Wide Side transducer connected. This is an
excellent way to see if you like the way the unit works using the optional
Wide Side transducer.
When in simulator operation, the Wide Optic responds to control inputs
as if it is in actual operation, so feel free to experiment with the many
features and functions to customize the Wide Optic for your particular
operation. The unit will also simulate the Temp/Speed accessory by
showing water temperature and boat speed and speed readings. To exit
Simulator mode, power the unit off.
FEATURE MEMORY
If your Wide Optic is installed with a transducer connected, any changes you make to the setup or User
Options (see Control Functions) while in Simulator are retained in the unit's memory. This allows you to
use simulator to experiment with the various set-up options, and retain your selected settings for normal
operation.
If you are using the Wide Optic in Simulator when no transducer is connected, any selected options are
lost when the unit is powered off. The Wide Optic will return to Factory Settings, or options selected when
last used with a transducer, if no transducer is connected.
IMPORTANT A transducer must be connected to the Wide Optic in order to retain user settings selected
when in simulator mode. If no transducer is detected, the unit defaults to pre-selected options when
powered off.
The Wide Optic contains a simulator which allows you to use the unit as
if you are on the water. The Simulator is invaluable for learning how to
operate the many features of the Wide Optic. There are two ways to
enable the Simulator: if the unit is powered off, press and hold the
POWER button for approximately 3 seconds until a continuous chirp is
heard. The Simulator can also be enabled by selecting the Simulator
option on the start-up screen after you normally power-up the unit. When
this screen is shown, simply press the DOWN ARROW until "Simulator"
is highlighted. When the screen times-out, the unit will be in simulator
mode.
If the Wide Optic is powered up with no transducer connected, the unit
will automatically default to the simulator mode, as normal operation is
not possible.
