Sonar Operations

As you can see from the quick reference on the previous page, basic operation

is pretty easy, right out of the box. If you are a sonar novice, try operating the

unit with the factory defaults until you get a feel for it.
As you are learning the basics, there is one setting you might want to

tinker with from time to time — Sensitivity.
Sensitivity controls the unit's ability to pick up echoes. If you want to

see more detail, try increasing the sensitivity. There are times when

too much clutter appears on the screen. Decreasing sensitivity will re-

duce the clutter and show the strongest fish echoes — if fish are pre-

sent. As you change the sensitivity setting, you can see the difference

on the chart as it scrolls.
