This parameter does also affect the external audio (see section External
Audio in APPENDIX B - ACCESSORIES) i.e. external audio will be turned
off also if the value of this parameter is zero.
LIGHT
Set to one to turn on the background lighting of the display. This is naturally
a very useful feature when fishing in darkness but can also help at other
circumstances to make the icons on the display clearer and easier to see.
Default value at power on is zero (not turned on).
DRIFT
This parameter is used when fishing in heavy drift conditions. If not in zero
position, the reel will haul the line in altogether and then pay it out again
automatically. This is done in order to ensure that the line does not stray
away from the boat while the fish is underneath.
The frequency of this action depends on the value of the parameter.
Each step corresponds to one minute i.e. the value of the parameter
corresponds to the number of minutes that elapse between hauling in motions
of the reel. Default value at power on is zero.
MUD ON BOTTOM
If fishing is carried out on a bottom that is very soft (mud or sand) the sinker
may get buried and the reel thus wants to interpret the resistance as fish if
this parameter is not used. If in zero position, the reel does not try to detect
fish in the first few rounds of the drum and hence there is no chance that the
reel will take the bottom for fish.
Usually a value of one is enough. The higher the value the longer will be the
hauling distance from bottom until the reel will try to detect if there is fish on
the hooks. Actually each step of the parameter equals one round of the drum
i.e. if the parameter is set to three the reel will not try to detect fish for the
first three rounds of the drum after the sinker hits the bottom.
Default value at power on is zero (inactive).
BOTTOM SENSE TIME
Bottom sensing is vital for correct operation of the machine. By watching
the slack on the line very closely it is possible to control the pay out
operation and to tell if the sinker has hit the bottom or not.
The line goes through the loop on the slack sensor arm and when the line is
stretched, it pulls the arm down. On the other hand when there is slack on
the line, a spring will pull the slack sensor arm back up and the reel will
know that there is slack on the line. Therefore it is very important that the
slack sensor arm can move freely.
