Humminbird TCR ID-10 - Manual (Page 14)

NOTE: The built-in simulator will allow you to practice adjusting the sensitivity, but your
adjustments will not change readings being displayed on the screen.
READING THE TCR ID-10 SCREEN
Your TCR has a liquid crystal display, or LCD. The liquid crystal material in the display
aligns itself to either block light or let light pass through. This blocking of light creates images on
the screen. Since the display depends on light to form its images, increasing the light source
makes it to see. This is why your TCR can be seen so well in bright, direct sunlight.
You will also notice that the display can be seen better at certain angles. The TCR mounting
system has been designed for tilting and pivoting so that you can easily maintain a good angle for
viewing. Another characteristic of the display is that some polarized glasses can affect your view
by causing a rainbow or prism to appear. This can be improved by slightly tilting the unit.
Fish Identification
The TCR ID-10 uses Humminbird's exclusive double-layer LCD. Ordinary LCD units have 2
colors-black and white. But the TCR ID-10 adds a third color-red-by using a second layer on the
display. This double - layer display gives you more information than ordinary black and white
units:
1. Objects not connected to the bottom are displayed in red. The bottom and any structure
attached to it are displayed in black. The microcomputer within the TCR I-10 can
separate objects from the bottom no matter what depth range you're in. This IS'
especially helpful if you're bottom fishing.
2. Stronger signals are displayed as a black dot behind a red dot. The TCR ID-10's
microcomputer also helps you identify stronger signals, such as those from larger fish,
because they are displayed as a black dot behind a red dot. It's easy to separate them
from the weaker returns displayed in red only.
Total Screen Update*
Humminbird's exclusive Total Screen Update instantly updates the entire TCR screen to include
new information each time a function is changed-no waiting for the changes to "march" onto the
screen. This feature is valuable in 2 ways.
1. Changing depth ranges. When the depth range changes to a deeper or shallower scale,
the entire screen changes to display the new depth scale. For example, if you're in the 0-
