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.
A message will appear on the display periodically to remind you that you are using the
Simulator.
Exit the Simulator by powering your 700 Series™ Fishing System off.
System Status

Exit System Status by powering your Fishing System off.

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.
