Adjusting the Sensitivity

There are 4 user selectable sensitivity settings to choose
from. So, which setting is the right setting? It greatly depends
on the clarity and/or depth of the water. Very clear water
allows for a moderate sensitivity setting. Conversely, dirty
water requires a higher sensitivity setting to target detail but
will increase the irritating false readings. Targeting deep water
fish generally requires greater sensitivity, especially in stained
or dirty water. Salt and brackish water also require a compar-
atively higher sensitivity setting. While this analysis may seem
confusing, the concept is simple. As the unit's sensitivity is
elevated, a broader view and smaller details show on the
screen. But, with a broader and stronger view comes more
clutter and debris. The clearer the water, the less sensitivity
needed to get accurate details and vice-versa.
Fishing at Night
(
)
• Turning the backlight feature ON will keep the screen illuminat-
ed all the time. This feature will greatly reduce the battery life
of the unit, so it should only be used during low light conditions.
• When the backlight feature is set to OFF, the backlight will illu-
minate for 3 seconds whenever a key is pressed.
