Color Gain
Non—CPx70 series, Traditional, CHIRP and Legacy
sonar modules use different colors to determine
the strength of an echo. You can adjust the color
intensity manually between 0% and 100% or set it to
automatic.
20% Manual
Auto
80% Manual
The color gain control sets the lower limit for the
strongest echo color. All echoes with a signal
strength above this value are displayed in the
strongest color. Those with a weaker value are
divided equally between the remaining colors.
• Setting a low value produces a wide band for the
weakest color, but a small signal band for the
other colors.
• Setting a high value gives a wide band for the
strongest color, but a small signal band for the
other colors.
Adjusting the color gain
To adjust the Color gain on Traditional, CHIRP and
Legacy sonar modules follow the steps below.

Contrast
Contrast sets the lower limit for the strongest echo
shade. All echoes with a signal strength above this
value are displayed in the lightest shade. Those
with a weaker value are divided equally between the
remaining shades.
• Setting a low value produces a wide band for the
darkest shade, but a small signal band for the
other shades.
• Setting a high value gives a wide band for the
lightest shade, but a small signal band for the
other shades.
Adjusting the contrast
To adjust the contrast setting follow the steps below.
From the Sonar application:
1. Select Menu.
2. Select Sensitivity settings.
3. Select Contrast.
The Contrast slider bar control is displayed.

Surface lter
The Surface lter setting is available when
connected to a CPx70 series sonar module. The
control reduces the amount of noise / clutter
displayed near the surface by varying the gain
throughout the water column.
0% 100%
The Surface lter can be set to automatic or can be
adjusted manually. In manual:
• a low value decreases the depth to which the lter
is applied and produces stronger targets / more
clutter near the surface.
• a high value increases the depth to which the lter
is applied and produces weaker targets / less
clutter near the surface.
