Water Type (Advanced); Digital Depth Source (Advanced, Down Imaging® Models With Optional-Purchase Transducers Only - Humminbird 800 series Operation Manual

Water Type
(Advanced)
Settings: Fresh, Salt (shallow), Salt (deep);
Default = Fresh
Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. In salt
water, you can also choose the shallow or deep setting. The Water Type
menu option is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Main
Menu: User Mode).
NOTE: Make sure that the Water Type is set accurately, especially in salt water,
as this affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings. In salt water, what
would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large fish
in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water
setting allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this
difference.
Digital Depth Source
(Advanced, Down Imaging® models with
optional-purchase transducers only [859ci HD
DI and 959ci HD DI)
Settings: Auto, 2D Element; Default = Auto
Digital Depth Source specifies the beams that will be used to provide the
depth for the digital depth readouts (see Views and Setup Menu Tab: Select
Readouts for more information). It is important to set this menu option based
on the transducer that is connected to the control head, as follows:
• If a Down Imaging® transducer is connected to the control head,
select Auto. Depending on the depth, Auto will automatically choose
the 2D conical beams or the Down Imaging® beams to display depth
in the digital readout window. Auto is the default setting.
• If an accessory transducer is connected to the control head, select
2D Element. For example, if you connect an ice transducer to your
Down Imaging® unit, change the digital depth source to 2D Element
in order to display depth in the digital readout window. The 2D
Element setting should not be used with a Down Imaging®
transducer.
NOTE: Visit our Web site at humminbird.com to determine which accessory
transducers are compatible with your Humminbird® Fishing System, or Contact
our Customer Resource Center.
NOTE: When Digital Depth Source is set to 2D Element, the DI setting will be
removed from the DI Pings menu. When DI Pings is set to DI, the 2D Element
setting will be removed from the Digital Depth Source menu. See DI Pings for
more information.
