Transducer—selects sonar cone angles and calibrates water speed.
Sonar Cone Angles—when using a transducer other than the standard Garmin transducer, you
can set the angle, in degrees, of the sonar cone so that it is accurately depicted on the Fish Eye 3D
screen. Touch either 200kHz or 50kHz and use the touch screen keyboard to enter the angle.
NOTE: The Sonar Cone Angles setting does not affect a standard Garmin transducer, and should only
be used to match the specications of a non-standard transducer.
Calibrate Water Speed—calibrates a speed-sensing device. Follow the onscreen directions for
calibration. If you do not have a speed-sensing transducer, this menu does not appear.
NOTE: If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is not registering a speed, a “Speed
Too Low” message appears. Touch OK and safely increase boat speed. If you get the message again,
stop the boat and make sure the speed-sensor wheel is not stuck. If the wheel turns freely, check the
cable connections. If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin Product Support.
Conguring Other Boats
To congure settings for boats other than your own from the Home screen, touch Congure >
Other Boats.
AIS—turn AIS (Automatic Identication System) on or off. AIS alerts you to area trafc by
providing boat IDs, position, course, and speed for boats that are within range and equipped with a
transponder.
DSC—turn DSC (Digital Selective Calling) on or off.
NOTE: To congure AIS or DSC information for other boats, your unit must be connected to an
external AIS or DSC device.
Safe Zone (AIS and MARPA only)—turn a safe zone around your boat on or off. This is used for
collision avoidance and can be customized.
