Start-Up Options Menu
Press the MENU key when the Title screen is displayed to
access the Start-Up Options menu.
Use the UP or DOWN 4-WAY Cursor keys to position the
cursor, then the RIGHT Cursor key to select one of the
following choices. If you wait too long, the system will
default to whichever menu mode happens to be highlighted:
• Normal
• Simulator
• System Status
• PC Connect (use with PC Connect Cable).
See the following paragraphs for more information about each of these choices.
Normal Operation
Use Normal operation for on the water operation with a transducer connected. In addition, your
700 Series™ Fishing System uses advanced transducer detection methods to determine if a
transducer is connected. If a functioning transducer is connected, Normal operation will be selected
automatically at power up and your 700 Series™ Fishing System can be used on the water.
Exit Normal operation by powering your 700 Series™ Fishing System off.
Simulator
Use the Simulator to learn how to use your 700 Series™
Fishing System before taking your boat on the water. The
Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on the
water operation, providing a randomly-updated display. We
recommend going through this manual while using the
Simulator, since all of the menus function and affect the
display the way they actually do when in Normal operation.
NOTE: To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important
to select Simulator manually from the Start-Up Options
menu as opposed to letting the 700 Series™ Fishing System
enter Simulator automatically (as it will if a transducer is not
connected and you do nothing during power up). Manually selecting Simulator from the Start-Up
Options menu allows you to pre-configure your 700 Series™ Fishing System for on the water
operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use.

User Mode (Normal or Advanced) - An Advanced Mode is provided for users who desire the
highest level of control over the 700 Series™ Fishing System and Normal Mode for users who
desire greater simplicity and fewer menu choices. Additional Advanced menu choices will be
displayed throughout the menu system when you navigate to specific menus while in
Advanced Mode. Any changes made while in Advanced Mode will remain in effect after you
switch back to Normal Mode. See Setup Menu Tab: User Mode for specific instructions on
changing to Advanced User Mode.
Total Screen Update - when you change any menu settings that affect the Sonar View, the view
will update immediately (i.e. you don’t have to exit the menu to apply the change to the screen).
For instance, by switching between "Inverse" and "Structure ID®" from the X-Press
TM
menu it is
possible to alternate quickly between the two viewing methods.
