Transducer—selects sonar cone angles and calibrates water speed.

Sonar Cone Angles—when using a transducer other than the standard Garmin transducer, you

can set the angle, in degrees, of the sonar cone so that it is accurately depicted on the Fish Eye 3D

screen. Select either

200kHz

or

50kHz

and use the on-screen keyboard to enter the angle.

NOTE: The Sonar Cone Angles setting does not affect a standard Garmin transducer, and should only

be used to match the specifications of a non-standard transducer.

Calibrate Water Speed—calibrates a speed-sensing device. Follow the onscreen directions for

calibration. If you do not have a speed-sensing transducer, this menu does not appear.

NOTE: If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is not registering a speed, a “Speed

Too Low message appears. Select

OK

and safely increase boat speed. If you get the message again,

stop the boat and make sure the speed-sensor wheel is not stuck. If the wheel turns freely, check the

cable connections. If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin Product Support.

Total Fuel Capacity—allows you to set the total fuel capacity of all your engines.

NOTE: To configure AIS or DSC information for other boats, your unit must be connected to an

external AIS or DSC device.
