Control Functions - Humminbird Wide Portrait Operation Manual

ID+ adds an additional piece of information to help the user locate fish. On selected fish symbols,
the digital depth of the designated fish is drawn to help locate the fish vertically. This is especially
helpful in setting bait depths or for downrigger operation.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The Wide Portrait uses a simple 6-button keypad for all user input. When any button is pressed,
an audible "chirp" confirms the control input. In the event that a particular button has no function
or is inappropriate for the situation, an audible "error", or multiple chirps will be heard.
POWER, powers the Wide Portrait up for normal operation. When the unit is on, POWER turns
the unit off. POWER can also be used to go directly into the Simulator mode. With the unit
powered off, press and hold POWER for several seconds until a continuous chirp is heard.
LIGHT controls the unit's 4-position display back light. With the unit powered on, pressing LIGHT
once will turn the back light on "low". Pressing LIGHT a second time will turn the back light on
"high". Press LIGHT again to turn the back light off. The backlight is very effective for low- light
and nighttime operation. When the backlight is on, the Wide Portrait will consume more power
than with the backlight off. This is important when using the Wide Portrait in a portable
configuration powered by a separate battery, or when powering the unit from a trolling motor
battery.
NOTE: When powering the unit from a battery such as in portable applications, avoiding use of
the backlight prolongs battery life.
The VIEW button selects one of several screen configurations or "views" possible depending on
the transducer in use. When using the standard (Tri-beam) transducer, the view button toggles
the display between the full- screen 2D view, and "Monster Digits" view. Monster Digits increases
the size of key digital information so that it can be viewed from a great distance. Pressing VIEW
again will toggle the display back to the 2D view.
