High sensitivity levels let you see this detail, but it can also clutter the

screen with many undesired signals. Typically, the best sensitivity level

shows a good solid bottom signal with Colorline and some surface clutter.

Automatic Sensitivity
The default sensitivity mode is automatic. The unit bases the sensitiv-

ity level on water depth and conditions. When the unit is in the auto-

matic mode, sensitivity is automatically adjusted to keep a solid bottom

signal displayed, plus a little more power. This gives it the capability to

show fish and other detail.

However, situations occur when it becomes necessary to increase or

decrease the sensitivity. This typically happens when you wish to see

more detail, so an increase in sensitivity is indicated. Or, wave action

and boat wakes can create enough tiny air bubbles to clutter much of

the water column. In that case, a decrease in sensitivity is indicated to

reduce some of the clutter.

The control bar used to adjust sensitivity up or down is the same

whether the unit is in the automatic or manual mode. In automatic you

can adjust sensitivity up to 100 percent but the unit will limit your
minimum setting. In auto, the unit will continue to make small ad-

justments, allowing for the setting you selected.

In manual mode, you have complete control over sensitivity, with the

ability to set it anywhere from zero to 100 percent. Once you select a

level in manual, the unit will continue to use that exact sensitivity set-

ting until you change it or revert to auto mode.
