Camera Functions
The camera of your LX-9L can be used to search for that perfect weed line
or locate the crib or rock pile where fish will generally school, entertain the
kids, or as the perfect tool to enhance your ice fishing experience. To use
the camera, make sure the camera cable is attached to the pigtail video
plug coming out of the back of your monitor. Press the MENU button and
highlight “View Mode”. Selecting “Camera”, “Heads Up”, or “Split Screen”
will allow video from your Manta camera to be displayed in various config-
urations.
The MENU Key, which also functions as the ENTER Key, opens up five
sub-menus. They are as follows:
VIEW MODE – here you select between sonar only, camera only, “heads--
‐up” [featuring sonar on top of video], and split screen.
DISPLAY OPTIONS – this is where you customize your display by select-
ing which sonar features, color palette, background and other features are
displayed on your dashboard
PLAY/RECORD – this is where you make and playback recordings,
adjust your camera settings, and turn the camera light on/off.
SONAR SETTINGS – this is where you may adjust sensitivity, target
adjust, zoom, and other sonar related features.
SYSTEMS SETTINGS – calibrations and other system settings are
adjusted here
Charging
To charge, simply couple the end of the charger with the end of the wiring
harness. It is also normal for the light on the charger to be green if it is just
plugged into the wall. When it is plugged into the wall and battery, you will
see a red LED light appear on the charger. If the light is red, the battery is
being charged. When your battery is fully charged, this red light should
change to green.
