[. . . ] 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. 31 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. HDOP (the Horizontal Dilution of Precision) is a GPS system parameter which depends on the current satellite configuration. HDOP is used to calculate the Estimated Position Error. GPS Diagnostic View Sky Chart Satellite Being Used Satellite Being Monitored Current Latitude and Longitude PC Connect (With PC Connect Cable Only) Use PC Connect to update the software of the Matrix Fishing System control head. This feature requires the use of the PC Connect Cable. Complete instructions are included with the PC Connect Cable accessory. NOTE: The PC Connect Cable requires a separate purchase. For more information visit our website at www. humminbird. com or contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468. Exit PC Connect mode by powering the Matrix Fishing System off. 32 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 WideSide View (WideSide Transducer: WideSide View Only) WideSide View sets which transducer beam from the WideSide Transducer is shown in the WideSide View. A WideSide transducer must be connected to the Matrix Fishing System. The WideSide View menu choice is available when Transducer Select is set to WideSide (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select) and can only be accessed from the Sonar X-PressTM menu when you are in WideSide view. NOTE: The WideSide View requires the purchase of the WideSide transducer. You can visit our website at www. humminbird. com to order this accessory online or contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468. To adjust the WideSide View: 1. Make sure you are in WideSide Transducer Mode and that a WideSide transducer is connected, then highlight WideSide View on the Sonar X-PressTM menu. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the WideSide View setting. (L [Left], Both, R [Right], Default = Both) 33 Sensitivity Sensitivity controls how much detail is shown on the display. Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar returns from small baitfish and suspended debris in the water; however, the display may become too cluttered. When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity shows weaker returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish. Highlight Sensitivity on the Sonar X-PressTM menu. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Sensitivity setting. [. . . ] One or more of the following sources can cause noise or interference: Possible Source of Noise Other electronic devices Isolation Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if the problem goes away, then turn them on one at a time to see if the noise re-appears. To determine whether the boat's engine is the source of the noise, increase the RPMs while the boat is in neutral and stationary to see if the noise increases proportionately; if noise appears when you rev the engine, the problem could be the spark plugs, alternator, or tachometer wiring. Replace the spark plugs with resistor plugs, install an alternator filter, or route the control head power and transducer cables away from the engine wiring. Turbulence created by the propeller can cause noise; make sure the transducer is mounted at least 15" (38 cm) from the propeller, and that the water flows smoothly over the face of the transducer at all times. The boat's engine Cavitation from the boat's propeller 77 Matrix Fishing System Accessories Accessories customize the Matrix Fishing System to your needs and enable you to stay on the edge of new technology.
