Chapter 4: System Setup

4.1 Introduction

Once you have installed your digital fishfinder system and are familiar with its
basic operation (described in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3), you need to set it up
so that it obtains the correct information from the equipment you have
connected it to, operates according to your requirements, and displays
information according to your preferences.
This is achieved using the soft key controls that are displayed when you press
MENU
the MENU key.
In most cases, you will only need to use the MENU key options when you
first set up your system. As you become more familiar with your system,
you may decide to customize some aspects, such as the screen and help
setting.
Note: All settings described in this chapter are retained when the unit is pow-
ered off. However, there is a one-minute delay from the time you make the set-
ting change to when the DSM250 places it in memory. If you power down the
sounder less than one minute after making a change, the setting is lost.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Changing the default set up parameters
• System parameter functions and default settings
• Sounder specific parameter functions and default settings
• Chart specific parameter functions and default settings
You should check the functions of the parameters and decide on the new
settings before making the changes.
Note: For units with the Raychart feature, the
from the chartplotter display is the same as that accessed from the fishfinder
