Sonar Custom - Upper and Lower Limits Controls not only the depth range (lower limit), but also lets you choose the upper limit. So, instead of a selecting a range that includes the water surface, you can choose upper and lower limits anywhere along the water column. To set Upper and Lower Limits: 1. Select Range and press ENTER. 2. Highlight Custom and press ENTER. The Upper and Lower Limit window will appear. Upper limit is 15' (4.5m); lower limit is 65' (19m). 3. Select the Upper or Lower Limit dialog box. Press ENTER. The numerical keypad will appear. 4. Use the keypad to enter the desired value in the corresponding upper or lower limit dialog box. Press ENTER. 5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to input the desired limit in the other dialog box. Ping Speed Ping Speed controls the rate the transducer uses to send sonar waves into the water. A higher ping speed will yield the best results when you are moving across the water at a high rate of speed or fishing from a dock. The reverberation of too much ping speed can cause interference on the screen. When using two units on your boat, lowering the ping speed of one of the units will prevent interference (cross-talk) caused by one transducer detecting pings from the other transducer. The default setting is suitable for most conditions. Highlight Ping Speed on the Sonar menu and press the keypad left/right to make adjustments. Sonar Options Adjusts display settings and the configuration of the display. The Sonar Options menu allows you to split the screen between two sonar views, change the color of the display, use Fish ID and add graphical elements to screen that will enhance your sonar experience. To access the Sonar Options menu, select Sonar Options from the sonar menu and press ENTER. 30
