have adjusted the level of detail shown on the screen using the gain or brightness settings. If you want to highlight smaller fish targets or create a higher intensity display of a target, you can increase the color gain or contrast setting. This causes a loss in the differentiation of the high intensity returns at the bottom. If you want to reduce the intensity of the return, you can reduce the color gain or contrast. 1 From a sonar view, select Menu. 2 Select an option: • While in the Garmin ClearVü or SideVü sonar view, select Contrast. • While in a Panoptix LiveVü sonar view, select Color Gain. • While in another sonar view, select Sonar Setup > Appearance > Color Gain. 3 Select an option: • To increase or decrease the color intensity manually, select Up or Down. • To use the default setting, select Default. Sonar Recordings Recording the Sonar Display 1 Insert a memory card into the card slot. 2 From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Sonar Recording > Record Sonar. 15 minutes of sonar recording uses approximately 200 MB of space of the inserted memory card. An individual recording automatically ends after it reaches 4 GB in size. You can record sonar data until the card reaches capacity. Stopping the Sonar Recording Before you can stop recording sonar, you must begin recording it (Recording the Sonar Display, page 29). From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Sonar Recording > Stop Recording.

Traditional, Garmin ClearVü, and SideVü Sonar Setup NOTE: Not all options and settings apply to all models, sounder modules, and transducers. NOTE: These settings do not apply to Panoptix transducers. From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup. Scroll Speed: Sets the rate at which the sonar scrolls from right to left (Setting the Scroll Speed, page 29). In shallow water, you can select a slower scroll speed to extend the length of time the information is displayed on screen. In deeper water, you can select a faster scroll speed. Automatic scroll speed adjusts the scrolling speed to the speed the boat is traveling. Noise Reject: Reduces the interference and the amount of clutter shown on the sonar screen (Sonar Noise Rejection Settings, page 30). Appearance: Configures the appearance of the sonar screen (Sonar Appearance Settings, page 30). Alarms: Sets sonar alarms (Sonar Alarms, page 30). Advanced: Configures various sonar display and data source settings (Advanced Sonar Settings, page 31). Not applicable to Garmin ClearVü or SideVü sonar views. Installation: Configures the transducer (Traditional, Garmin ClearVü, and SideVü Transducer Installation Settings, page 31). Setting the Zoom Level on the Sonar Screen 1 From a sonar view, select Menu > Zoom > > Mode. 2 Select an option: • To set the depth and zoom automatically, select Auto. If necessary, select Set Zoom to modify the zoom setting. Select View Up or View Down to set the depth range of the magnified area, and select Zoom In or Zoom Out to increase or decrease the magnification of the magnified area. • To set the depth range of the magnified area manually, select Manual. If necessary, select Set Zoom to modify the zoom setting. Select View Up or View Down to set the depth range of the magnified area, and select Zoom In or Zoom Out to increase or decrease the magnification of the magnified area. • To magnify one particular area of the screen, select Magnify. If necessary, select Magnify to increase or decrease the magnification level. TIP: You can drag the magnification box to a new location on the screen. • To zoom in on the sonar data from the bottom depth, select Bottom Lock. If necessary, select Span to adjust the depth and placement of the bottom lock area. To cancel the zoom, deselect the Zoom option. Setting the Scroll Speed You can set the rate at which the sonar image moves across the screen. A higher scroll speed shows more detail until there is no additional detail to show, at which point it starts stretching out the existing detail. This can be useful while moving or trolling, or when you are in very deep water where the sonar is pinging very slowly. A lower scroll speed displays sonar information on the screen longer. For most situations, the Default setting provides a good balance between a quickly scrolling image and less distorted targets. 1 From a sonar view, select Menu > Sonar Setup > Scroll Speed. 2 Select an option: • To adjust the scroll speed automatically using speed-overground or water speed data, select Auto. The Auto setting selects a scroll rate to match the boat speed, so targets in the water are drawn with the correct aspect ratio and appear less distorted. When viewing Garmin ClearVü or SideVü sonar views or searching for structure, it is recommend to use the Auto setting. Sonar Fishfinder 29
