The main components of the menu system are as follows: · Start-Up Options Menu: Press the MENU key during the power on sequence to view the Start-Up Options Menu. From the Start-Up Options Menu, you can choose the following Fishfinder Modes: Normal, Simulator, and System Status. · X-PressTM Menu: The X-PressTM Menu provides a shortcut to the most frequently-used settings, and the options on the X-PressTM Menu correspond with the current view. · Main Menu: The Main Menu is a standard set of menu settings which are organized under the following tabbed headings: Alarms, Sonar, and Setup.

The Menu System 35 Start-Up Options Menu Press the MENU key during the power on sequence to view the Start-Up Options Menu, and select one of the modes described on the following pages. Also, see Power on the Unit for additional information. Normal Use Normal for on-the-water operation with a transducer connected. If a functioning transducer is connected, Normal operation will be selected automatically at power up, and your Fishfinder can be used on the water. To exit Normal operation, power off your Fishfinder. 36 Start-Up Options Menu Simulator Use Simulator to learn how to use your Fishfinder before taking your boat on the water. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that provides a randomly-updated display which simulates on the water operation. Simulator We recommend going through this manual while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function and affect the display in the same way as they would in Normal operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use. NOTE: It is important to select Simulator manually from the Start-Up Options Menu as opposed to letting the Fishfinder enter Simulator automatically (as it will if a transducer is not connected and you do nothing during power up). A message will appear often on the display to indicate Simulator mode. To exit Simulator, power off your Fishfinder. System Status Use System Status to view system connections and to conduct a unit self-test. After you select System Status from the Start-Up Options Menu, press the VIEW key to display the following options: · Self Test · Accessory Test To exit System Status, power off your Fishfinder.
