Its high resolution display gives the sharpest definition ever. This unit is so advanced, you can just press the "ON" button and let it do all the work. However, taking manual control enables you to open up a wholeworld of features not available in other sonars. [. . . ] (60feetdividedby 10 lines =6 feet per line. 5 lines times 6 feet per line = 30 feet)This method works no matter what the upper and lowerlimits are, but to make it easier useupper and lower limits in multiples often, i. e. 10, 20, 30, etc. The distance log will start operating from the time the X-5 is first turned on. To resetthe distance log to zero, press the 5 key while the menu is on the screen. 6= NARROWAUTO RANGEWINDOW 7 = WIDE AUTO RANGEWINDOW The limits that the X-5 will autorange can be changed if desired. When the X-5 is firstturned on, the narrow autorange is enabled. This means that if the bottom signal goes below the 90% point on the screen, theX-5 will autorangeand placethe bottom signal at the 50%pointon the screen. If the bottom signal goes above the 40% position, the X-5 will autorange and place it at the 80%position on the display. Thiskeeps the bottom signal in the lowerhalfof the display, allowing you to seefish and other targets. The wide autorangewill move the bottom signal to the 25% point if it goesbelow the 90% point If the bottom signal goesabove the 15% point, then theX-5 will autorangeitbackto the 8O%point Thisallows the bottom signal to travel almost the entire vertical area of the display. The only disadvantage to this is that echoes above the bottom signal cannot be seen whenthe bottom signal is near thetop ofthe screen. However, ifyou wish to only trackthe bottom signal, while keeping the automatic range changes to a minimum, then the wide autorangewindowwill be useful. To change to the wide autorange, press the 7 key while the menu is on the screen. Continue pressing it until the desired function is shown on the display. All of the functions will be numbered. To activate the desired function, simply press the numberon the keyboard that corresponds to the function. A faster way to execute menu functions is to press the function's numberfirst then press 2nd, DISC (COMMAND). For example, the CLEAR DISTANCE LOG function is number 5. To clear the log one must either press 2nd, DISC (COMMAND), then press DISC (COMMAND) until the CLEAR DISTANCE LOG function is displayed and press the number 5 on the keyboard, or simply press 5, 2nd, DISC (COMMAND). Both methods can be used on all menufunctions. Manual Operation The lower limit may be changed to anysetting whilethe X-5 is in the manualmode, regardlessof where the bottom signal is. To changethe lower limit in manual mode, firstmake certain the word "AUTO" is not displayedat the top of the screen, signifying that the automatic mode is off. (Note: This also disables the automatic sensitivityfunction. ) If the automatic mode is on, press the AUTO key once to disable it. Next, enter the lower limit desired from 10 to 6500 feet and press the LOWER LIMIT key. Thedisplay will immediately change to the new depth range and displaythe new lower limit at the bottom of the screen. Forexample, tpsetthe lower limitto 31 feet, press 3, 1, LOWER LIMIT _________SFNS(TIV/IV - /, -- 0-- 9 Each of the functions are listed below in order of appearanceon the menus. Remember, 2nd, DISC (COMMAND) must be pressed to enable or disable any of the following functions. 2 GRAYLINE CHECKERBOARD 3 GRAYLINE LINES 4 SPEAKER VOLUME 5 CLEAR DISTANCE LOG 6 NARROW AUTO RANGE WINDOW 7 WIDEAUTO RANGE WINDOW 8 ENABLE DIGITAL AVERAGING 9 DISABLE DIGITALAVERAGING 10 BATTERY BACKUP ENABLED 11 BATTERY BACKUP DISABLED 1 FASTRACKON :':][ Figure 11 12 SCALEON 13 SCALE OFF 14 CALIBRATE SPEED 15 TEST PATTERNON 16 TEST PATTERNOFF 17 KEEL OFFSET UPPER LIMIT 18 TOTAL SYSTEM RESET UPPER LIMIT Often it's desirable to expand or "ZOOM" a section of the display to show more detail. You can do this on theX-5 by using the Upper Limit feature. When the X-5 is in automatic, the upper limit is automaticallysetto zero and cannot be changed while in the automatic mode.
