(See Chapter 6. ) Scroll Speed This menu item enables you to start and stop the bottom graph display from moving across the screen. · · ON starts the bottom graph display. PAUSED stops the bottom graph display. Note: The PAUSED setting doesn't stop sonar pinging. Digital depth continues to be calculated while scrolling is paused. The default is ON. Range By default, the sounder automatically adjusts the display range, selecting the shallowest range that keeps the bottom in the lower half of the display window. Alternatively, the Range setting enables you to select the maximum depth displayed on the scrolling bottom and A-Scope displays. This parameter determines whether the depth range displayed is set automatically by the sounder or manually using the Trackpad. · · AUTOMATIC for the sounder to determine the range as dictated by the current depth. Select MANUAL to enable the Trackpad for setting the range. If you press the Trackpad to manually set the range while the automatic setting is enabled displays, the fishfinder displays the following message: Chapter 4: Main Menu 31 The range mode must be set to MANUAL before the range will change. Pressing or on the Trackpad or pressing the MENU key opens the Range field in the MAIN MENU so you can make the change if desired. If you wish to remain in Automatic Range mode, press QUIT. The following range/shift values are available: Table 4-2: Range Values Feet 5 10 15 20 30 40 50 60 80 100 150 200 250 300 400 600 800 1000 1500 2000 Fathoms 1 2 3 4 6 8 10 15 20 25 30 40 50 60 80 100 150 200 250 300 Meters (CE models only) 2 4 6 8 10 15 20 25 30 40 50 60 80 100 150 200 300 400 500 600 The default setting is AUTOMATIC. 32 DS400X and DS500X Digital Fishfinders Frequency The DS400/500X uses dual frequency sonar--50 kHz and 200 kHz--and can be used in either auto or manual modes. The DS400/500X can automatically select the appropriate frequency, based on the current display range. As the depth increases while in Auto Frequency mode, the fishfinder shifts from 200 kHz to 50 kHz. As the depth decreases, the fishfinder switches from 50 kHz to 200 kHz. You can select the transducer frequency for automatic or manual operation at 50 kHz, 200 kHz or both frequencies simultaneously. · · AUTOMATIC enables the digital fishfinder to determine the optimum frequency based on the current conditions. 200 kHz MAN fixes the frequency at 200kHz no matter what depth you are viewing. This frequency is typically used for shallower water and a more detailed view. When using this frequency, the transducer scans a narrower area, but produces a more detailed view.
