Simrad ES70
When the ES70 starts, you may see a dialog requesting permission to upgrade the
firmware on the transceiver. This happens if the firmware on the transceiver is older
than the firmware provided as a part of the ES70 software. Since functionality
on the ES70 may depend on the firmware in the transceiver, click
the transceiver.
During the program initialisation, a dialog appears to let you choose from the current
user settings available on the ES70. The dialog is only visible a few seconds. You
do not need to make a choice here. You can select user setting at any time by means

• The ES70 starts up using the same operational parameters as the last time you
used it. If these parameters are acceptable, continue operation. If you wish to alter
basic operational parameters, see section Starting normal operation on page 21.
• When the ES70 starts, it is very important that it detects the bottom correctly.
In most cases this will take place automatically. However, we have experienced
that large schools of fish or difficult bottom conditions have deceived the ES70 to
display the wrong depth. In these cases the sounder may display the bottom at
0,0 meters, or with any other abnormal value. In order to aid the ES70 to locate
the correct depth, observe the dedicated procedure. See How to define maximum
and minimum depth on page 76.
How to power off the ES70 echo sounder
Note
You must NEVER switch off the echo sounder only by means of the on/off switch on
the computer. This may damage the software or the interface parameters for external
devices. You must ALWAYS use this procedure.
