2 HOW SONAR WORKS
Sonar technology is based
on sound waves. The
system uses sonar to loc-ate
and define structure, bottom
contour and composition, as
well depth directly below the
transducer.
The transducer sends a
sound wave signal and
determines distance by
measuring the time between
the transmission of the
sound wave and when the
sound wave is reflected off
an object;it then uses the
reflected signal to interpret
location, size, and
composition of an object.

* Backlight illuminated all the time when backlight
feature ON. This feature will greatly reduce the battery
life of the unit. So it should only be used during low
light conditions. The backlight will illuminate for 3
seconds whenever a key is pressed when the backlight

5 FISH AND DEPTH READOUT
5.1 READING DEPTH
fig.6
The depth readout on the down left will appear after the
power is turned ON and the sonar sensor is placed in
water. The depth meter will indicate"---" if the depth
exceeds these parameters (2 feet to 328 feet / .7 to 100
meters).
NOTE
: This reading may also occur in water is
extremely dirty, or where there are heavy silt or mud
bottoms. Sonar is a sound signal that travels
through water. Sonar will not travel through air. Keep
this in mind when sing the fish finder, as the fish
finder the smallest bubble between the sonar sensor
and the water, will cause the unit to not operate
correctly.
