Sensitivity Increasing Sensitivity shows more detail on the screen. Decreasing Sensitivity displays less. Too much detail clutters the screen. Conversely, desired echoes may not be displayed if Sensitivity is set too low. Ú Note: Auto Sensitivity is the preferred mode for most conditions. Auto sensitivity Auto sensitivity automatically adjusts the sonar return to the optimal levels. Auto sensitivity can be adjusted (+/-) to your preference while still maintaining the auto sensitivity functionality. Colorline Allows the user to adjust the colors of the display to help differentiate softer targets from harder ones. Adjusting the Colorline can help separate fish and important structures on or near the bottom from the actual bottom. Adjusting Sensitivity and Colorline Select the Sensitivity or Colorline menu options in the Sonar menu and adjust them by dragging the bar vertically or by using the Cursor keys. Ú Note: Minor adjustments can be made by tapping above or below the slider bar or pressing the Cursor keys. Ú Note: When the Sensitivity or Colorline slider bar is displayed, it is automatically selected and adjustments can be made up/ down with the Cursor keys. Source Select to specify the source for the image in the selected panel. You can display two different sources simultaneously, using a split panel configuration. Menu controls for each panel are independent. The source can be the internal Sonar, another MFD on the Ethernet network, or a Sonar module. To define sources, refer to the separate HDS Carbon Installation manual. Ú Note: Using two transducers at the same frequency ranges can cause interference between the two, and they can show up on Sonar | HDS Carbon Operator Manual 71
