Factors impairing a fishfinder picture Although weaker than the fish or bottom echoes, your fishfinder picture may be impaired by echoes received from floating or submerged debris, air bubbles or from your boat's movements. This is known as background noise or clutter and is controlled by the gain modes (gain, color gain and TVG). Raymarine recommends that you allow your system to automatically control the ideal sensitivity level based on depth and water conditions. You can however adjust these settings manually if you prefer. For more details, please refer to page 116. Seeing a live image The standard fishfinder display shows a historical record of fishfinder echoes. If required, you can display a live image of the bottom structure and the fish directly below the transducer by using the A-Scope feature. The width of the bottom covered by the A-Scope is indicated at the bottom of the window. A-Scope provides a more precise and easier to interpret indication of the target strength. D6890-2 Chapter 5: Using the Fishfinder 99 There are three A-Scope modes which are selected for individual fishfinder windows: I MODE 1 The A-scope image is centred in the window. MODE 2 The left-hand side of the Mode 1 image is expanded to give a more detailed view. MODE 3 The A-scope image angles outward as signal width increases with depth.

Changing the range The DSM automatically adjusts the display to show the shallowest required range. Alternatively, you can select to range in/out on the image (up to the maximum depth displayed on the scrolling bottom and A-Scope images). Changes to the range are reflected in all Fishfinder windows. To select manual/auto range mode: To select and adjust manual range mode: OUT RANGE D6585-1 To return to autorange: Toggle to AUTO Shifting the image The DSM automatically adjusts the display to keep the bottom in the lower half of the display window. Alternatively, you can shift the image within the current range. Changes to the range shift are reflected in all Fishfinder windows. To shift the image: e. g.

This zoom option enables you to: · Replace the standard fishfinder image with the zoomed image or display the zoomed image alongside the standard fishfinder image. · Set to zoom level to one of the pre-defined zoom factor levels or adjusted manually. · Reposition the portion of the image to be zoomed, if required. Note: When the range increases, the area shown in the zoom window also increases. Selecting a split or full screen zoomed image You can either replace the standard fishfinder image with the zoomed image (ZOOM ON) or split the screen and display the zoomed image alongside the standard fishfinder image (ZOOM SPLIT).
