Select MENU > Sonar Setup > Source.

Renaming a Sonar Source

You can rename a sonar source to easily identify that source.
For example, you use "Bow" as the name of the transducer on
the bow of your boat.
The source is renamed for the present view only. For example,
to rename the Garmin ClearVü sonar source, you must open the
Garmin ClearVü sonar view.
1
From the sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Source
> Rename Sonar Sources.
2
Enter the name.

Adjusting the Level of Detail

You can control the level of detail and noise shown on the sonar
screen either by adjusting the gain for traditional transducers or
by adjusting the brightness for Garmin ClearVü transducers.
If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns on the
screen, you can lower the gain or brightness to remove lower
intensity returns and noise. If you want to see all return
information, you can increase the gain or brightness to see more
information on the screen. This also increases noise, and can
make it more difficult to recognize actual returns.
1
From a sonar view, select MENU.
2
Select Gain or Brightness.
3
Select an option:
• To increase or decrease the gain or brightness manually,
select Up or Down.
• To allow the chartplotter to adjust the gain or brightness
automatically, select an automatic option.

Adjusting the Color Intensity

You can adjust the intensity of colors and highlight areas of
interest on the sonar screen by adjusting the color gain for
traditional transducers or the contrast for Garmin ClearVü and
SideVü/ClearVü transducers. This setting works best after you
have adjusted the level of detail shown on the screen using the
gain or brightness settings.
If you want to highlight smaller fish targets or create a higher
intensity display of a target, you can increase the color gain or
contrast setting. This causes a loss in the differentiation of the
high intensity returns at the bottom. If you want to reduce the
intensity of the return, you can reduce the color gain or contrast.
