Depth Lines Depth Lines To change the Depth Lines setting: 1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Depth Lines on the Sonar main menu. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to turn the Depth Lines setting On or Off. (Off, On, Default = Off) 41 Surface Clutter (Advanced) Surface Clutter adjusts the filter that removes surface clutter noise caused by algae and aeration. The lower the setting, the less surface clutter will be displayed. The Surface Clutter menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode). Surface Clutter To change the Surface Clutter setting: 1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Surface Clutter on the Sonar main menu.

(Low = 1 to High = 10, Default = 5) 42 Noise Filter (Advanced) Noise Filter adjusts the sonar Noise Filter to limit interference on the display from sources such as your boat engine, turbulence, or other sonar devices. The Noise Filter menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode). NOTE: The Off setting removes all filtering; Low, Medium and High1, High2, High3 settings add progressive filtering of the sonar returns. High1, High2 and High3 are useful when there is excessive trolling motor noise, but in some deep water situations, the High settings may actually hinder your unit's ability to find the bottom. To change the Noise Filter setting: 1. Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Noise Filter on the Sonar main menu. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Noise Filter setting. (Off, Low, Medium, High1, High2, High3, Default = Low) Max Depth (Advanced) Max Depth adjusts the maximum depth of operation. The performance of your Fishfinder can be tuned to the maximum depth you will be fishing in by setting the Max Depth. When a maximum depth is set, your Fishfinder will not attempt to acquire sonar data below that depth, thus increasing overall performance. When Max Depth is set to Auto, the Fishfinder will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capacity of the unit). If the bottom is deeper than the Max Depth setting, the digital depth readout will flash, indicating that the Fishfinder cannot locate the bottom. The Max Depth menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode). Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Max Depth on the Sonar main menu. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Max Depth setting. [. . . ] TripLog: TripLog is a Humminbird® feature that provides an on-screen counter for Elapsed Time, Average Speed and Total Distance traveled, and requires a speed input to activate the feature. TripLog appears on the Big Digits View, and can be reset to zero through the TripLog menu. TrueArch®: TrueArch® is a Humminbird® feature that provides true fish arches, not artificial arches or symbols. Humminbird® units are capable of producing fish arches due to the wide 60° sonar beam of DualBeam PLUSTM, an extremely sensitive sonar receiver. [. . . ]
