The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display. A Digital Depth Readout is displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along the right edge of the Sonar Barometer and Temp/Speed View.

Sonar X-Press Menu - Advanced User Mode Upper Range Adjusts the Upper Depth Range to a specific depth for the Sonar and Big Digits Views. The DualBeamPLUS technology is optimized to show the greatest bottom definition with the narrow beam, and fish and structure over a wide area with the wide beam. DualBeamPLUS is ideal for a wide range of conditions ­ from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and saltwater. Understanding MultiBeam Sonar ction Dire l anne of Ch Shows structure and fish the down beam may have missed due to the position of the boat relative to structure. Structure visible to the sonar will project from the bottom profile similar to down looking sonar, and you will be able to determine if it is to the left or right of your boat. Helps to identify the slope of bottom which may lead to submerged channels or humps where fish hide. Sloped bottoms create a sonar image with a thinner, darker line on the shallow side, and a thicker, lighter line on the deep side. The greater the difference in depth between the right and left sonar image, the greater the slope. Helps to identify the run direction and depth of submerged channels. Detects the presence of a sharp drop off, and helps you to steer the boat so that the sonar return remains at a constant distance from the drop off. One sonar beam may not show a bottom return if the boat is over a sharp drop off. Powering Up the Unit Turn on the Matrix unit by momentarily pressing the POWER key. A startup screen is then displayed until the Matrix unit begins sonar operation. While the startup screen is displayed, you may press the MENU key for the other options listed below. If no key is pressed, the Matrix will begin Normal or Simulator operation, depending on the presence or absence of a transducer. The following operating states are available: · Normal ­ Use for on the water operation with transducer connected. · Simulator ­ Use to learn the features and functions of the Matrix unit. · System Status ­ Use to view system connections and conduct a unit self-test. · PC Connect ­ Use when upgrading Matrix internal software with a PC and PC Connect cable. The Matrix unit uses advanced transducer detection methods to determine if a transducer is connected. If the transducer is not connected or is damaged, the unit will select the Simulator state automatically at startup. If a functioning transducer is connected, the unit will select the Normal operating state automatically and the unit can be used on the water. Note: When operating in Simulator state with a transducer connected, Menu setting changes are saved to memory. If a transducer is not connected, changes will not be saved and Menu settings will revert to factory defaults every few minutes. 531188-1_A 531188-1_A Water Type Configures unit for type of water conditions. (Salt, Fresh, Default=Fresh) Note: 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).
