Page 7: What You See On-Screen
USING THE 100ID SERIES WHAT YOU SEE ON-SCREEN WHAT YOU SEE ON-SCREEN The first thing you may notice about the 100ID unit is the high-resolution LCD display. The LCD display uses super-twist technology, for maximum viewability and is ruggedized for tough shock and vibration endurance. The display can operate at temperatures more extreme than you are likely to encounter. - Page 8 USING THE 100ID SERIES WHAT YOU SEE ON-SCREEN Figure B On all screens the horizontal line at the top of the display is the “Zero” line. This repre- sents the surface of the water. The “Zero” line will always have a gap which moves as the screen updates.

The transmitted sonar signal travels down- ward, and is reflected back toward the surface by the bottom or other objects for display on-screen.

USING THE 100ID SERIES MENU FUNCTIONS MENU FUNCTIONS The following section explains each menu in detail, and how these adjustments can be used to obtain the maximum information from the sonar returns. . As the 100ID receives returned ENSITIVITY signals, the sensitivity of the receiver is adjusted automatically based on a number of factors such as the depth of the water, and the signal clarity. - Page 12 USING THE 100ID SERIES MENU FUNCTIONS . 100ID adjusts the depth ANGE range automatically, so the bottom return is displayed at the bottom the display. This leaves the top display anything between the surface and the bottom. As your boat moves over deeper or shallower water, the unit adjusts the depth range of the display to keep the bottom return in...
- Page 13 USING THE 100ID SERIES MENU FUNCTIONS . Another form of range control is Zoom. Zoom allows selection of various ranges for full screen viewing. By using the display to view a smaller area, the effective display resolution is increased, and the units ability to separate targets close together is enhanced.
- Page 14 USING THE 100ID SERIES MENU FUNCTIONS . The 100ID contains OTTOM LARM an audible alarm to warn you of shal- low water depths. This alarm is adjustable from 2' to 99' of depth. To enable the alarm, simply adjust the alarm depth using the UP and DOWN arrow buttons.
- Page 15 USING THE 100ID SERIES MENU FUNCTIONS Remember that it is impossible for sonar to determine if a signal return is a fish or some other type of object or suspended debris. Any object not connected to the bottom is normally a fish and is portrayed as a fish symbol. The strength of the reflected sonar signal from a target is a good indicator of the size of the target, and the fish symbol displayed represents the strength of the signal reflected from it.
- Page 16 USING THE 100ID SERIES MENU FUNCTIONS ID “Off” disables the units interpreta- tion of targets, and displays the “raw” sonar information as it is received. Advanced users may prefer this type of presentation, so they can make there own interpretation from the informa- tion displayed.
- Page 17 USING THE 100ID SERIES MENU FUNCTIONS . Triplog provides a RIPLOG time/distance calculation, based on input from the optional speed accessory. The timer is started when the unit is first powered on, and distance information is collected to provide elapsed distance since power-up, and the average speed.
- Page 18 USING THE 100ID SERIES MENU FUNCTIONS . The Speed-Depth PEED EPTH menu controls the display of a full screen digital readout for boat speed and depth. To view the Speed-Depth screen, use the UP or DOWN arrow to show the full screen display. The current boat speed is displayed at the top the screen, and current depth at the bottom.
- Page 19 USING THE 100ID SERIES MENU FUNCTIONS . The Speed-Timer menu PEED IMER controls the display of a full screen digital readout for boat speed and a countdown timer. To display the Speed-Timer screen, use the UP or DOWN arrow to show the full screen display.
