The details of each operation mode
• AUTO (the BT /WT automatic switching mode)
A ground speed is indicated when the depth of water from hull bottom is in the range of about 2 -
250m. While a ground speed is indicated, both of the AUTO lamp and the BT lamp are turned on.
When the depth of water from hull bottom becomes deeper than about 250m, automatically
changes in the water track mode. Both of the AUTO lamp and the WT lamp are turned on during
the water speed indication.
Even if the depth of water from hull bottom is more than 2m, a ground speed can't be sometimes
measured in the case such as the mud that the sea bottom absorbs a sound wave to. It changes to the
water speed indication in such a case.
And, even if the depth of water from hull bottom is under 250m, a receiving signal sometimes
decrease too much in the sea area where seabed inclination is big and ups and downs are drastic.
