Main Menu
The unit has a Main Menu, which contains function and setup com-
mands. The instructions in this section will deal only with sonar func-
tions — the basic commands that make the unit show sonar signals on
your screen. This sonar unit will work fine right out of the box with the
default settings. But, if you want to learn about the various sonar op-
tions, see Sec. 4, Sonar Options & Other Features. (For general system
setup and GPS options, see Sec. 8, System Setup and GPS Setup Op-
tions.)
