[. . . ] The RSS automatically stops using power a few seconds after being pulled out of the water. WARNING!Store the RSS in a dry, non-metallic container, such as a tackle box, in a separate compartment, and isolated from any metallic devices when not in use to conserve power. Never place the RSS in a wet area of a boat or on a metal surface when not in use as this could turn it on and shorten its usable life. NOTE: If the RSS was used in salt water, rinse it with fresh water before storing it. Operating the WSL Accessory When the WSL Accessory is attached to the control head, a SmartCast WSL View is added to the control head view rotation. When you press the VIEW key repeatedly, views are displayed cyclically. Any of the views, including the SmartCast WSL View, can be removed or added to the rotation list using the Select Views menu choice from the Setup Menu when in Advanced Mode (see your control head Operation Manual for more information). The following graphic shows the SmartCast WSL View: Depth Upper Depth Range Fish Icon Bottom Lower Depth Range NOTE: When the RSS is in the water within line-of-site of the WSL, the SmartCast WSL View will display sonar returns from the RSS. When the RSS is not in the water or reception is being blocked, the "SmartCast WSL signal not detected" message will be displayed. The SmartCast WSL View displays underwater sonar information in an easy to understand format. The top of the display corresponds to the water surface, and the bottom of the display corresponds to the selected Depth Range (see Depth Range). The display varies as the area under the RSS changes. Reeling in the RSS at a slow and steady rate will allow you to graph the bottom for structure, detail and fish. Digital readouts provide precise information for bottom contour, depth and fish locations below the RSS. Underwater conditions vary greatly, so some experience and interpretation is needed to realize all the benefits of the WSL Accessory - use the picture above as a guide to the most common conditions and practice using the RSS over known bottom types. WSL PIP View The Picture in Picture (PIP) WSL View will appear if the PIP menu choice has been either turned "on" or set to "auto" from s the SmartCast WSL menu (see WSL Accessory Submenu) and will only appear after the RSS has been cast into the water. The PIP View is superimposed on every view in the view rotation with the exception of the WSL full screen view. Use the 4-Way Cursor Control key to re-position the PIP view on the display. The following graphic shows the WSL PIP View superimposed on the Sonar View: Fish Bottom Contour Upper Depth Range Depth Lower Depth Range NOTE: When the RSS is in the water within line-of-site of the WSL, the PIP View will display sonar returns from the RSS. When the RSS is not in the water or reception is being blocked, the "SmartCast WSL signal not detected" message will be displayed. WSL X-PressTM Menu When the SmartCast WSL View is displayed, pressing the MENU key once will display the WSL X-Press menu. The WSL XPress menu represents the settings most frequently used to optimize the WSL performance. NOTE: The WSL X-Press Menu can only be accessed from the SmartCast WSL Full Screen view. It is not available in the PIP view. WSL Sensitivity - Select a higher number to show weaker sonar returns on the display, or a lower number to remove clutter from the display. Adjusting Sensitivity also affects how sonar returns are identified as Fish ID Symbols - more fish will be detected at the highest setting of 5, fewer at the lowest setting of 1. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Default = 3) WSL Lower Range: WSL Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be displayed. When in automatic mode, the lower range will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom. [. . . ] You are seeing noise or interference caused by one of several sources. Noise can be caused by other electronic devices. Turn off any nearby electronics and see if the problem goes away. Other sonar devices or any electronic device operating in the 900 mHz range (in the 400 mHz for International versions) could cause interference with your RSS. [. . . ]
