- Page 31 A total weight over 5.8g can submerge the sensor and cause signal loss in consequence. e) With relatively quite water areas, FC60X is able to obtain a 130ft (40m) remote-control distance in maximum; with significant fluctuations on water surface, the distance may be reduced slightly.
- Page 32 The FC60X sensor has a normal detection depth ranging from 1 to 100 feet (0.4~30m). Abnormal display and inconsistent depths may occur when used in areas with depth less than 0.3m.
- Page 33 The picture vibrates because the sea bottom depth being scanned is changing. Since the depth range used by the current test signal and by the previous test signal differs, plus the varying height of the sea bed contour, pictures displayed on the screen will occupy different heights, causing the vibrating phenomenon.
