Chart Speed
Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar information moves across the
display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster speed shows more
information and is preferred by most anglers; however, the sonar information moves
across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer,
but the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret.
Regardless of the Chart Speed setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum
rate possible for the depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.
To adjust the Char
t Speed:
1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-Press
TM
Menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-Way Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease
the Chart Speed setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest,
Default = 5)
Zoom Level
(Sonar Zoom View only)
Zoom Level sets the magnification level for the Sonar Zoom View, and is only available
on the X-Press
TM
Menu when the Sonar Zoom View is active. Use Zoom to increase the
display resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together.
To adjust the Zoom Level:
1. Highlight Zoom Level on the Sonar X-Press
TM
Menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Zoom Level
setting for the Sonar Zoom View. (2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, Default = 2x)
NOTE: The Zoom Preview Box tracks the bottom and cannot be moved by the user.

Lower Range
Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be
displayed. Automatic is the default setting. When in automatic mode, the lower range
will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom. Selecting a specific setting locks the
depth range into Manual mode. Use both Upper and Lower Range together to view a
specific depth range manually when looking for fish or bottom structure. will be
displayed in the lower right corner of the screen when you start manually adjusting the
Lower Range to indicate that you are in Manual mode.
NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower
Range regardless of the manual settings entered.
To adjust the Lower Range:
1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-Press
TM
Menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the
Lower Range setting. (AUTO, 10 to 600 feet, 3 to 240 meters [International
Models only], Default = AUTO)
For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in
the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower
Depth Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range,
allowing you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display
went all the way to the bottom.
