With
the
X-55, anyone
can eliminate
guesswork
and concentrate on
the
areas where fish are
likely
to be. Even
if it's the first time on the lake!
The most efficient
way
to become
acquainted
with a
body
of water is to
survey
it
with
your
X-55. Start with a
map
of the
lake,
if
possible,
and
indicate the
promising
spots
in relation to landmarks
on shore.
As
you go
about
your survey, yourX-55
will tell
you
the
depth
and
type
of
bottom. It will also reveal
suspended
fish.
Keep
a few marker
buoys
in
the
boat,
ready
to toss overboard.
When the
X-55
indicates a school of
fish,
throw
the
buoy
out. With the school
thus
marked, you
can
makeyourturn
and come backto fish in
exactlythe right
spot.
This is
essentialwhenyou'refarfrom
shore on a
big
lake.
Unlessyou
mark the school
of fish when
you're
over
it, you may
not be able
to find it
again.
BAIT FISH
The
importance
of bait fish to successful
fishing
can't be
over-empha-
sized.
They
are the
principle
food of all
game
fish
in most waters.
Bait fish are the
plankton
feeding forage
fish,
such
as minnows and shad.
Baitfish can also
betheyoung
of
gamefish,
such
ascrappies, bluegill,
and
bass.
Most
bait fish concentrate within five
feet of the surface where
sunlight
promotes
the
growth
of the
plankton
on which
they
feed. One
method of
fishing
is to use the X-55 to find the bait
fish first. With the Fish ID feature
off,
a school
of baitfish will look like a"cloud" on
the
display. Usually, game
fish will be
nearby,
often
directly
beneath
the school of bait fish.

MENUS
The X-55 uses menus exten-
sively
to
guide you through
the functions and features of
the unit. The menu
key
ac-
cesses
many
of these fea-
tures, allowing you
to custom-
ize
the unit to
your particular
needs and water conditions.
Although you may
have to
leave one menu
and enter an-
otherto reach
the desiredfunc-
tion,
allyou
haveto
do is
press
the menu
keytoselectthe
next menu. If
you everget
lost in
amenu, simply
press
the CLEAR
key.
HELP
An
extremely
useful
feature
incorporated
into the X-55 series
is the
Help
menus.
Virtually everyfeature
has a
help
menu label
that,
when
pressed,
gives
one or more
pages
of text
describing
how to use that
feature. For
example, pressing
the AUTO
key brings up
a menu
letting you
switch the
unit into or out of the automatic mode.
A
help
label also
appears
on the
screen.
Pressing
the
key adjacentto
the
help
label
gives you
a
description
of how
automatic works and how it affects
different functions.
WINDOWS
You can
change
the
displays
on the
X-55by
using
the
windows feature.
This lets
you
customize
displays
to
your
own
fishing
or
boating
situations.
This feature
also
gives you
15 window
display
screens
on the X-55.
The screens available
in the windows mode are divided
into two or more
windows
per
screen.
Each
screen of windows is called
a
"group". Group
'A" as
shown at
right
has the
digital displays
in
one window and the sonar chart
in
the other.
