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 Garmin ClearVü and

SideVü/ClearVü 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.

From a sonar view, select MENU.

Select an option:

• While in the Garmin ClearVü or SideVü sonar view, select

Contrast.

• While in a Panoptix LiveVü sonar view, select Color Gain.

• While in another sonar view, select Sonar Setup >

Appearance > Color Gain.

Select an option:

• To increase or decrease the color intensity manually,

select Up or Down.

• To use the default setting, select Default.

computer.

Sonar Setup

NOTE: Not all options and settings apply to all models, sounder

modules, and transducers.

From a sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup.

Depth Line: Shows a quick-reference depth line.

Scroll Speed: Sets the rate at which the sonar scrolls from right

to left.

In shallow water you might want to slow the scroll speed to

extend the length of time the information is displayed on

screen. In deeper water you can increase the scroll speed.

Range Lines: Shows the vertical lines indicating the distance to

the right and left of the boat. This setting is available for

SideVü sonar view.

Color Scheme: Sets the color scheme of the sonar view. This

setting might be available in the Appearance menu.

The high contrast color schemes provide darker color

assignments to the low intensity returns. The low contrast

color schemes provide color assignments to the low intensity

returns that are similar to the background color.

Appearance: See Sonar Appearance Settings, page 25.

Overlay Numbers: Sets the data shown on the sonar screen.

Advanced: See Advanced Sonar Settings, page 25.

Installation: Restores the default sonar settings.

Setting the Zoom Level on the Sonar Screen

From a sonar view, select MENU > Zoom.

Select an option:

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

TIP: You can select for more options.

• 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 magnify one particular area of the screen, select

Magnify.

TIP: You can drag the magnification box to a new location

on the screen.

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

select Bottom Lock.

To cancel the zoom, deselect the option.

Setting the Scroll Speed

You can set the rate at which the sonar image moves across the

screen. A higher scroll speed shows more detail until there is no

additional detail to show, at which point it starts stretching out

the existing detail. This can be useful while moving or trolling, or

when you are in very deep water where the sonar is pinging very

slowly. A lower scroll speed displays sonar information on the

screen longer.

For most situations, the Default setting provides a good balance

between a quickly scrolling image and less distorted targets.

From a sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Scroll

Speed.

Select an option:

• To adjust the scroll speed automatically using speed-over-

ground or water speed data, select Auto.

The Auto setting selects a scroll rate to match the boat

speed, so targets in the water are drawn with the correct

aspect ratio and appear less distorted. When viewing

Garmin ClearVü or SideVü sonar views or searching for

structure, it is recommend to use the Auto setting.

• To scroll faster, select Up.

• To scroll more slowly, select Down.

Adjusting the Range of the Depth or Width Scale

You can adjust the range of the depth scale traditional and

Garmin ClearVü sonar views and the range of the width scale

for the SideVü sonar view.
