General Information

T
hank you for your selection of the Interphase Advantage
High Power Dual Frequency Sonar. The Advantage's
ruggedly built, compact design makes it ideal for installation
on nearly any boat. It will display water depth, bottom
conditions and submerged objects such as fish, on its high
resolution display. The Advantage is available with either a
combination transom or a bronze thru-hull depth/speed/
temperature transducer.
The Advantage has an unprecedented number of advanced
features, to make your boating safer and your fishing more
productive. Its high resolution SuperTwist Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) provides split screen views of 4X
magnification zoom and bottom lock, large digital display,
speed and temperature history graphs (with the speed/
temperature transducer). You will appreciate the very useful
features of fish and depth alarms, manual or automatic gain
control, bottom hardness indicator and fish symbol
identification.
The Advantage allows operation in your choice of nine
languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Danish,
Finnish, Swedish, or Greek. Power-off memory saves
language, depth range, gain and contrast settings, screen
advance speed and location in screen menu. Due to its unique
multi-tasking operation, the Advantage provides instant full
screen updates when switching between modes (no data loss).
If you have your Advantage interfaced with a Loran-C or GPS
unit, you can take advantage of the included track plot
displays. The Loran-C, DECCA, and GPS track plot displays
on the Advantage give a whole new dimension, by enabling
you to not only see the depths beneath your boat, but also to
see a graphic display of your boat's position and progress over
time. The track plot display makes it easy to find and return to
the same fishing spot, or to troll back over the same productive
areas.
To ensure that you receive the maximum benefits available
from the outstanding features of the Interphase Advantage,
please carefully follow the steps outlined in this manual. An
instructive demonstration simulator has been designed into the
Advantage and we highly recommend that you spend some
time using the demo mode prior to actual use of the unit. We
also recommend that you read this entire manual before
attempting to either install or operate your Advantage.
