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 in a box on the right side of the line. Press up or down

on the roCKEr to move the line on the Sonar Page.
noise reject—helps filter unwanted noise from the Sonar Page.

The Noise Reject can be turned off, set to normal (automatically

adjusts for optimum viewing) or to a fixed 1–100% setting. When

setting the Noise Reject, remember that a higher noise rejection

setting is less likely to show fish or structures.

Resizing the Split Screen

You can adjust the way the split screen is shown. This option is only

available when a zoom scale other than no Zoom is selected.

4. If you want to cancel this operation, press

QUIT or press

MENU, highlight Stop Resizing, and press ENTER.

Using the Pointer on the Sonar Page

You can show the pointer (arrow) to reference sonar items and

mark underwater waypoints. This makes it easier to find and use an

object such as a stump for a future fishing location. When using this

feature, the Sonar Page pauses. The depth continues to update while

the screen pauses, but the unit does not show any new sonar data

until the Sonar Page resumes scrolling.

To mark an underwater waypoint:

1. From the Sonar Page, press

MENU, highlight Show Pointer,

and press

ENTER.

2. Use the

ROCKER to move the pointer to the location you

want to mark. Press

ENTER. The New Map Waypoint Page

appears.

3. To change the name, symbol, or depth, highlight the

appropriate field and press

ENTER. Make your changes, and

press

ENTER when done.

4. When finished, highlight

OK, and press ENTER.

5. To return to the standard Sonar Page, press

QUIT; or press

MENU, highlight Hide Pointer, and press ENTER.
