and a variety of clutter attenuation controls to maintain target resolution.
Installation of the scanner is described separately in the Scanner Owner’s

HSB Series Radar and Chartplotter connected, three full-screen modes –
radar, chart and data log are available as shown in Figure 1-2; you select the
operating mode using the

In addition, if you have an HSB Series Fishfinder display connected, you can
set the display to fishfinder mode; this provides similar functionality to a
combined Fishfinder/Chartplotter.
