Lower Range; Chart Speed; Quad Layout; (With Optional-Purchase Quadrabeam Plus™ Transducer, Side Beam View Only) - Humminbird 800 series Operation Manual

Lower Range

Settings: Various, see below.
Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be displayed by the unit.
Auto: The Lower Range will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom
automatically. Auto is the default setting.
Manual: You can adjust the Lower Range to lock the unit on a particular
depth. M will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen to
indicate the unit is in Manual mode. Adjust the Upper and Lower Range
together to view a specific depth range, especially when looking for fish or
bottom structure.
For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in
the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower
Depth Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range,
which allows you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the
display went all the way to the bottom.
NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and
Lower Range regardless of the settings entered manually.
The available Lower Range settings are determined by your Humminbird®
model as follows:
• 859ci HD/959ci HD: Auto to 1500 ft, Auto to 500 m (International
Models only); Default = Auto
• 859ci HD DI/959ci HD DI: Auto to 1500 ft, Auto to 500 m
(International Models only); Default = Auto
• 899ci HD SI/999ci HD SI: Auto to 1500 ft, Auto to 500 m
(International Models only); Default = Auto
• 859ci HD XD/959ci HD XD: Auto to 3280 ft, Auto to 1000 m
(International Models only); Default = Auto
Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar information moves
across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown.
A faster speed shows more information and is preferred by most anglers;
however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower
speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish
details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of
the Chart Speed setting, the RTS Window™ will update at the maximum rate
possible for the depth conditions.
Quad Layout allows you to choose how sonar information is displayed in the
Side Beam View. The Side Beam View displays sonar data from the left and
right 455 kHz beams, as well as the 200 kHz down-looking beam. The sonar
data can be displayed in any of the following layouts by changing the Quad
Layout setting: Default, Classic, and Slanted. See Views: Side Beam View for
more information.
