• Frequency—only appears when using a dual frequency transducer. This

allows you to choose a sonar operation frequency. You can choose 200

khz, 50 khz, Dual Merged, and Dual Independent (to alternate between

the two frequencies).

Ultrascroll™/Scroll—adjusts the rate at which the Sonar Pages scroll from

right to left. Ultrascroll (default) is used when you select a scroll rate

from 90% to 100%. Auto automatically adjusts the scroll rate according to

the boat’s speed.

• Depth line—adds a horizontal depth line across the screen that is used to

measure the depth of underwater objects. The depth of the line appears on

the right side of the line. Press up or down on the ROCKER to control the

position of the line on the Sonar Page. To turn the Depth Line off, press the

ROCKER up until the setting bar is all the way at the top of the range and

reads Off.

available:

bottom returns much the same as the Flasher Page. The horizontal width

of the A-scope signal indicates the strength of the signal.

transducer. This setting toggles on or off the display of a temperature

graph on the bottom of a Sonar Page, and it matches the scrolling data.

On the Sonar page, press the up
