LiveScope and Perspective Transducer Installation Settings
From the LiveScope or Perspective sonar view, select Options > Sonar Setup > Installation.
Install Depth: Sets the depth below the water line where the Panoptix transducer is mounted. Entering the actual
depth at which the transducer is mounted results in a more accurate visual presentation of what is in the
water.
Use AHRS: Enables the internal attitude heading and reference system (AHRS) sensors to detect the installation
angle of the Panoptix transducer automatically. When this setting is turned off, you can enter the specific
installation angle for the transducer using the Pitch Angle setting. Many forward view transducers are
installed at a 45-degree angle and down view transducers are installed at a zero-degree angle.
Calibrate Compass: Calibrates the internal compass in the Panoptix transducer (Calibrating the Compass,
page 92).
This applies to LiveScope transducers with an internal compass.
Orientation: Controls if the transducer is in down or forward installation mode. The Auto setting uses the AHRS
sensor to determine the orientation.
Focus: Adjusts the sonar view to compensate for the speed of sound in water. The Auto setting uses the
temperature of the water to calculate the speed of sound.
Restore Sonar Defaults: Restores the sonar settings to the factory default values.
Radar
WARNING
The marine radar transmits microwave energy that has the potential to be harmful to humans and animals.
Before beginning radar transmission, verify that the area around the radar is clear. The radar transmits a beam
approximately 12° above and below a line extending horizontally from the center of the radar.
To avoid possible personal injury, do not look directly at the antenna at close range when the radar is
transmitting. Eyes are the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.
When you connect your compatible chartplotter to an optional Garmin marine radar, such as a GMR
™
Fantom
™
6
radar or a GMR 24 xHD, you can view more information about your surroundings.
The radar transmits a narrow beam of microwave energy as it rotates to a 360° pattern. When the transmitted
energy contacts a target, some of that energy is reflected back to the radar.
