About the bottom discrimination display
• The bottom discrimination display provides an estimate of bottom composition. Ac-
tual composition may be different.
• The high and low frequencies are alternately transmitted, regardless of current dis-
play selection. The TX interval is slower when this feature is active.
• Operating environment:
- Depth: 16 to 328 ft (5m to 100m)
- Speed: 10 knots or less
• This feature uses the range from the boat’s draft; therefore, enter the ship’s draft.
See page 2-7.
• Be sure that the transducer is mounted straight. Otherwise the bottom discrimina-
tion display may not function accurately in case of high waves.
• If there are large fish or schools of fish near the seabed directly below the transduc-
er beam, the discrimination results may not match with the actual result.
