Glossary

Sonar Terms:

Alarm, Depth: Depth Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds when
depth is less than or equal to the setting.

Alarm, Temperature: Temperature Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that
sounds when the water surface temperature equals the setting.

Backlight: Backlight is a user-controllable illumination for the LCD for night and low
light use.

Beam (Sonar Beam): A sonar beam is the cone-shaped projection of sound waves
formed as sound travels underwater. See Cone Angle.

Big Digits View: Big Digits View is a Humminbird® feature that displays the sonar
graph and enlarged digital readouts for easy reading from a distance. This is a great
tool when monitoring the digital depth is important - such as with higher boat
speeds, or when viewing the unit from a distance. When speed input is available, the
Big Digits View also shows the TripLog. See TripLog.

Bottom Black: Bottom Black is a Humminbird® feature that "fills in" the area of the
display below the bottom contour. Bottom Black is preferred by some anglers
because of its high contrast and easy readability, even though it can obscure bottom
hardness information.

Bottom Contour: Bottom Contour is the profile of the bottom graphed to the display
as the depth changes.

Bottom Hardness: Bottom Hardness is the density (or composition) of the bottom,
which can often be determined by interpreting the main sonar return. Varying levels
of hardness can be determined by interpreting the "thickness" of the sonar return.
Hard returns appear thin and black, softer returns appear thicker and less black. It is
important to note that a sonar return from a sloping bottom can have the
appearance of a softer bottom.

Cavitation: Cavitation is the effect of air bubbles created as the propeller rotates and
the boat moves through the water.
