FISH ARCHES
DISPLAY
-
General
Fish arches are created when the cone
of sound
passes
over a fish.
The distance to a fish
when the cone first strikes it is shown as "A"
below. When the center of the cone
strikes the
fish,
the distance is
shorter as shown "B". As the cone leaves the
fish,
the distance
increases
again
as shown in "C".
When the Fish l.D. mode is
off,
the
depth
of the water will affect the
size and
shape
of the
fish arch due to the cone
angle
diameter. For
example,
if the cone
passes
over a fish in shallow
water,
the
signal
displayed
on the
Magna may
not arch at
all. This is due to the narrow
cone diameter and the
resolution limitations of the
display.
The
lights
flash for
about ten seconds when the
Magna
is turned on.
Three menus
appear,
one after the other. The menus
are the
lights
(LAMP),
feet-meter
selection
(FEET/METER),
and contrast
adjustment
(DARK/LIGHT).
To turn the
lights
on,
press
the
up
arrow
key.
To
switch from feet
to
meters,
press
the down arrow
key
when the
proper
menu
appears.
To
adjust
the
contrast,
wait for the
DARK/LIGHT
menu to
appear.
Now
press
the
up
arrow
key
to darken
the
screen,
the down arrow
to
lighten
it. The menus
disappear
after
a few sec-
onds. If
you
don't
want to
wait,
press
the ON/CLEAR
key
to clear the
menus
from the screen.
When the
Magna
is first turned
on,
the
display appears
similar to the
one below.
The unit is in the automatic mode and
the Fish ID feature
is on. The
depth range displays
on the left side of the screen.
In this
example,
the
range
is from 0 to 60 feet. The
digital
bottom
depth
display
shows
at the
top
left
portion
of the screen.
MENUS
The
Magna
and
Magna
Plus
use menus to
guide you through
the unit's
functions and features. The
menu
key
accesses these
features,
allowing you
to
customize the unit to
your particular
needs and
water
conditions.
All
you
have to do to leave one menu and enter another
is
press
the menu
key repeatedly.
If
you
ever
get
lost
in
the menus,
simply press
the ON/CLEAR
key.
This clears the menus from the
screen.
