• Turning the backlight feature ON will keep the screen illuminat-
ed all the time.
This feature will greatly reduce the battery life
of the unit, so it should only be used during low light conditions.
• When the backlight feature is set to OFF, the backlight will illu-
minate for 3 seconds whenever a key is pressed.
ENJOY YOUR
FREEDOM...
NOTE: The fish finder has an automatic power off fea-
ture to prevent battery drain if you accidentally leave
the unit on. When the depth display reads “---” con-
tinuously for 5 minutes, the display will shut off auto-
matically.
FISHING TIP
There are 4 user selectable sensitivity settings to choose
from. So, which setting is the right setting? It greatly depends
on the clarity and/or depth of the water. Very clear water
allows for a moderate sensitivity setting. Conversely, dirty
water requires a higher sensitivity setting to target detail but
will increase the irritating false readings. Targeting deep water
fish generally requires greater sensitivity, especially in stained
or dirty water. Salt and brackish water also require a compar-
atively higher sensitivity setting. While this analysis may seem
confusing, the concept is simple. As the unit's sensitivity is
elevated, a broader view and smaller details show on the
screen. But, with a broader and stronger view comes more
clutter and debris.
The clearer the water
, the less sensitivity
needed to get accurate details and vice-versa.
FISHING TIP
Get to know the fishing regulations and habits of
the fish that you are targeting by visiting your local
tackle center
, bait shop, library, or website. A little
research can be a valuable lesson that will allow you
to utilize the features of your fish finder, to make fish-
ing more enjoyable for you, and your fishing buddies.
NOTE: Alkaline batteries lose a considerable amount
of their power below 20
o
F (-7
o
C). If you’re using your
fish finder in Sub-Zero temperatures, you may have to
keep the unit warm (above 20
o
F (-7
o
C) for optimal
performance.
