on the network. The values of other sonar settings, such as the

Appearance settings, are not synchronized and should be

configured on each individual device. In addition, the scroll rates

of the various traditional and DownVü sonar views are

synchronized to make the split views more cohesive.

NOTE: Using multiple transducers simultaneously can create

cross talk, which can be removed by adjusting the Interference

sonar setting.

Selecting a Sonar Source

This feature may not be available with all models.

When you are using more than one sonar data source for a

particular sonar view, you can select the source to use for that

sonar view. For example, if you have two sources for DownVü,

you can select the source to use from the DownVü sonar view.

1Open the sonar view for which you will change the source.

2Select Menu > Sonar Setup > Source.

3Select the source for this sonar view.

Renaming a Sonar Source

You can rename a sonar source to easily identify that source.

For example, you use "Bow" as the name of the transducer on

the bow of your boat.

The source is renamed for the present view only. For example,

to rename the DownVü sonar source, you must open the

DownVü sonar view.

1From the sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Source

> Rename Sonar Source.

2Enter the name.

Customizing the Overlay Numbers

You can customize the data shown on the sonar screen of

some chartplotter models.

NOTE: Not all options are available on all models.

1From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Overlay

Numbers.

2If necessary, select the numbers to customize.

3Select the toggle to show or hide each data item.

4Select Back to customize more data.

NOTE: You can also show or hide the compass tape and

navigation inset.

5Select Done.

Adjusting the Level of Detail

You can control the level of detail and noise shown on the sonar

screen either by adjusting the gain for traditional transducers, or

by adjusting the brightness for DownVü and SideVü/DownVü

transducers.

If you want to see the highest intensity signal returns on the

screen, you can lower the gain or brightness to remove lower

intensity returns and noise. If you want to see all return

information, you can increase the gain or brightness to see

more information on the screen. This also increases noise, and

can make it more difficult to recognize actual returns.

1From a sonar view, select Menu.

2Select Gain or Brightness.

3Select an option:

• To increase or decrease the gain or brightness manually,

select Up or Down.

• To allow the chartplotter to adjust the gain or brightness

automatically, select an automatic option.

Adjusting the Color Intensity

You can adjust the intensity of colors and highlight areas of

interest on the sonar screen by adjusting the color gain for

traditional transducers or the contrast for DownVü and SideVü/

DownVü transducers. This setting works best after you have

adjusted the level of detail shown on the screen using the gain

or brightness settings.

If you want to highlight smaller fish targets or create a higher

intensity display of a target, you can increase the color gain or

contrast setting. This causes a loss in the differentiation of the

high intensity returns at the bottom. If you want to reduce the

intensity of the return, you can reduce the color gain or contrast.

1From a sonar view, select Menu.

2Select an option:

• While in the DownVü or SideVü sonar view, select

Contrast.

• While in another sonar view, select Sonar Setup >

Advanced > Color Gain.

3Select an option:

• To increase or decrease the color intensity manually,

select Up or Down.

• To use the default setting, select Default.

Adjusting the Range of the Depth or Width

Scale

You can adjust the range of the depth scale traditional and

DownVü sonar views and the range of the width scale for the

SideVü sonar view.

Allowing the device to adjust the range automatically keeps the

bottom within the lower or outer third of the sonar screen, and

can be useful for tracking a bottom that has minimal or

moderate terrain changes.

Manually adjusting the range enables you to view a specified

range, which can be useful for tracking a bottom that has large

terrain changes, such as a drop-offs or cliffs. The bottom can

appear on the screen as long as it appears within the range you

have set.

1From a sonar view, select Menu > Range.

2Select an option:

• To allow the chartplotter to adjust the range automatically,

select Auto.

• To increase or decrease the range manually, select Up or

Down.

TIP: From the sonar screen, you can select or to

manually adjust the range.

Setting the Zoom Level on the Sonar Screen

1From a sonar view, select Menu > Zoom.

2Select an option:

• To zoom in on the sonar data from the bottom depth,

select Bottom Lock.

NOTE: When the bottom lock feature is enabled, the

Range feature changes to Span.

• To set the depth range of the magnified area manually,

select Manual, select View Up or View Down to set the

depth range of the magnified area, and select Zoom In or

Zoom Out to increase or decrease the magnification of

the magnified area.

• To set the depth and zoom automatically, select Auto.

• To cancel the zoom, select No Zoom.
