Use the UP or DOWN 4-WAY Cursor keys to position the cursor, then the RIGHT Cursor key to select one of the following choices. If you wait too long, the system will default to whichever menu mode happens to be highlighted: · Normal · Simulator · System Status · PC Connect (use with PC Connect Cable). Start-Up Options Menu System Status Use System Status to view system connections and to conduct a unit self-test. Exit System Status by powering your FishFinder off. The following screens are displayed in turn when you press the VIEW button when using System Status: · Self Test · Accessory Test · GPS Diagnostic View. Self Test displays results from the internal diagnostic self test, including unit serial number, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) serial number, software revision, total hours of operation and the input voltage. See the following paragraphs for more information about each of these choices. Normal Operation Use Normal operation for on the water operation with a transducer connected. In addition, your FishFinder uses advanced transducer detection methods to determine if a transducer is connected. If a functioning transducer is connected, Normal operation will be selected automatically at power up and your FishFinder can be used on the water. Exit Normal operation by powering your FishFinder off. Simulator Use the Simulator to learn how to use your FishFinder before taking your boat on the water. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on the water operation, providing a randomly-updated display. We recommend going through this manual while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function and affect the display the way they actually do when in Normal operation. NOTE: To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important to select Simulator manually from the Start-Up Options menu as opposed to letting the FishFinder enter Simulator automatically (as it will if a transducer is not connected and you do nothing during power up). Manually selecting Simulator from the Start-Up Options menu allows you to pre-configure your MatrixTM for on the water operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use. System Status Self Test Screen Accessory Test lists the accessories connected to the system. NOTE: The speed accessory will be detected only if the paddlewheel has moved since your FishFinder was powered up. Simulator A message will appear on the display periodically to remind you that you are using the Simulator. Exit the Simulator by powering your FishFinder off. 28 Accessory Test Screen 29 FF595_Man_531385-1_A_PrfE. qxd 12/9/2004 2:40 PM Page 36 GPS Diagnostic View shows a sky chart and numerical data from the GPS receiver. The sky chart shows the location of each visible GPS satellite with its satellite number and a signal strength bar. A dark grey bar indicates that the satellite is being used to determine your current position. A light gray bar indicates that the satellite is being monitored, but is not yet being used. NOTE: The GPS Diagnostic View only appears if the GPS Receiver is connected. Sonar X-PressTM Menu (Sonar Views Only) The Sonar X-PressTM Menu provides access to the settings most frequently-used. Press the MENU key once while in any of the Sonar Views to access the Sonar X-PressTM Menu. NOTE: Menu choices will vary depending on system settings such as whether the unit is set for Advanced User mode or what transducer is currently selected. Sonar X-PressTM Menu This view also reports the current position, local time and date, and other numeric information. The current GPS Fix Type is reported as No Fix, 2D Fix, 3D Fix, or Enhanced. An Enhanced fix has been augmented using information from WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS. A 3D or Enhanced Fix is required for navigation. [. . . ] Make sure the input voltage does not exceed 20 Volts. The transducer position may need to be adjusted. A mix of air and water flowing around the transducer (cavitation) may be interfering with the interpretation of sonar data. See your Installation Guide for suggestions on adjusting the transducer position. [. . . ]
