Turn the H FREQ GAIN or L FREQ GAIN control as appropriate to make the bottom echo displayed in
red.

5.2.5 Setting the STC
The STC (Sensitivity Time Control) is used to reduce the receiver gain in proportion to time, which is
useful to eliminate nearby unwanted echoes like plankton, jelly fish, etc. There are two STC controls
provided, STC Depth and STC Amplitude. Refer to the following descriptions of these controls before
attempting the operation.
5.2.5.1 Setting the STC Depth
In this mode, you are reducing receiver sensitivity against depth in time proportional law with STC
amplitude fixed. This mode is useful in deep sea fishing to locate school of fish and the species.
Operational notes for STC amplitude adjustment
(1) STC law A: STC is not enough, causing noise and unwanted residual weak echoes in shallow
and mid depth zone to be shown.
(2) STC law B: STC is appropriate, causing unwanted echoes to be perfectly reduced while schools
of fish are shown without degradation.
(3) STC law C: STC is too much, causing the echoes from fish school to be reduced too much.
