On the Water

Simulator Mode

The Fishfinder 100 Blue comes with a built-in simulator. While in

simulator mode, the unit will display a random bottom scene, and the
Fishfinder 100 Blue can be controlled just as if it were on the water. Using
simulator mode allows the user to practice and learn the operation of the
unit at home rather than on the water.

If the Fishfinder 100 Blue is turned on without a transducer connected,

the unit will start in simulator mode. Also the unit can be switched into
simulator mode by selecting one of the simulated transducer options from
the ‘Simulator Selection’ field as described below. The unit will indicate that
it is running in simulator mode by displaying a message across the bottom
of the screen. The message will be replaced by the “S” simulator mode icon
in the lower left corner of the screen.

The unit can be configured to act as if a variety of transducers are

installed while in the simulator mode.

To select a specifi c Transducer:

1. Press the SETUP button on the face of the unit.

2. Using the Arrow keys, highlight the ‘Tools’ tab then the ‘Simulator’

selection fi eld.

3. Press ENTER. Choose the desired transducer from the list.

4. Press ENTER to accept the transducer selection.
