no matter where the chartplotters and transducers are mounted

on your boat. For example, from a transducer with Garmin

ClearVü mounted at the back of the boat, you can view the

sonar data using the MFD 8212 mounted at the front of your

boat.

When sharing sonar data, the values of some sonar settings,

such as Range and Gain, are synchronized across the devices

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 Garmin ClearVü 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 Garmin

ClearVü, you can select the source to use from the Garmin

ClearVü sonar view.

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

Select Menu > Sonar Setup > Source.

Select 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 Garmin ClearVü sonar source, you must open the

Garmin ClearVü sonar view.

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

> Rename Sources.

Enter the name.

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 Garmin ClearVü 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.

From a sonar view, select Menu.

Select Gain or Brightness.

Select 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 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 >

Advanced > Color Gain.

Select an option:

• To increase or decrease the color intensity manually,

select Up or Down.

• To use the default setting, select Default.

Sonar Recordings

Recording the Sonar Display

NOTE: Not all models support sonar recording.

Insert a memory card into the card slot.

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

Recording > Record Sonar.

15 minutes of sonar recording uses approximately 200 MB of

space of the inserted memory card. You can record sonar

until the card reaches capacity.

Stopping the Sonar Recording

Before you can stop recording sonar, you must begin recording

it (Recording the Sonar Display, page 23).

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

Recording > Stop Recording.

Deleting a Sonar Recording

Insert a memory card into the card slot.

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

Recordings > View Recordings.

Select a recording.

Select Delete.

Playing Sonar Recordings

Before you can play back the sonar recordings, you must

download and install the HomePort

™

application and record

sonar data onto a memory card.

Remove the memory card from the device.

Insert the memory card into a card reader attached to a

computer.

Open the HomePort application.

Select a sonar recording from your device list.

Right-click the sonar recording in the lower pane.

Select Playback.

Traditional, Garmin ClearVü, and SideVü

Sonar Setup

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

modules, and transducers.

NOTE: These settings do not apply to Panoptix transducers.

From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup.

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

to left (Setting the Scroll Speed, page 24).

In shallow water, you can select a slower scroll speed to

extend the length of time the information is displayed on

screen. In deeper water, you can select a faster scroll speed.

Automatic scroll speed adjusts the scrolling speed to the

speed the boat is traveling.
