SIGNAL INTERPRETATION
Your Ultra II
gives
an accurate
picture
of the bottom that
your
boat is
passing.
A bottom of firm
sand, gravel, shell,
or hard
clay
returns a
fairly
wide
signal.
If the automatic mode is off and the
signal
narrows
down,
then
it means that
you
have moved over a mud bottom. Mud
absorbsthe sound
wave and returns a
weak
signal.
Turn
up
the
sensitivity
to see a better
bottom
signal.
Big
rocks or
stumps
on a smooth bottom send back
signals
above the
bottom level
signal.
The
height
of the
signal depends
on the
target's
height.
As
you pass
over a
post,
it should be
clearly
visible as a short line
extending
above the bottom
signal.
A
steep slope
returns a wide
signal,
the
steeper
the wider.
Signals
returned from a
high
underwater cliff are
usually
the widest of all.
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
overafish in shallow
water,
the
signal
displayed
on the
Ultra II
may
not arch at all. This is due to the narrow cone
diameter
and
the resolution limitations of the
display.
