Humminbird Wide Eye - Manual (Page 31)

Also, several kits are available that include a Wide Side transducer with a switch or an additional
mounting system. (See Section One, Available Accessories)
When the Wide Side transducer is connected directly to your
unit, or selected using a transducer switch, the unit setup must
be changed to correspond with the type of transducer being
used.
This adjustment is made through the "System Options" menu.
Use the MENU button to select the "System Options" menu
and press ENTER. Press MENU until the "sonar mode" option
is highlighted. Press UP or DOWN until "side" is displayed.
Press ENTER when the selection is correct.
Your Wide Eye is now configured for Wide Side operation.
When you exit the "System Options" menu, the view you will
see on-screen is shown below.
Viewing both left and right sides simultaneously gives you an excellent tool when searching for
bait fish or following a creek bed, however greater display resolution can be achieved by viewing
only one side.
Experiment with the Wide Side transducer while operating it in a familiar area and learn how to
make maximum use of the information displayed. Remember, if you are using a trolling motor
mount, the information displayed is controlled by the direction the trolling motor is pointing, not
necessarily the direction the boat is travelling.
The information collected is controlled through the "Transducer" menu. The UP and DOWN arrow
keys select "left", "right" or "both". Pressing ENTER will select the "down" mode and a traditional
down view will be displayed. When "down" mode is selected, the single 24 degree down-looking
element of the Wide Side transducer is used to collect this information. This transducer does not
have "wide", "narrow" or "dual" beam options and hollow fish symbols cannot be displayed.
