The lower the frequency of the ultrasonic pulse the wider the detection area.
Thus, the low frequency is suitable for general search and judging bottom
condition.

shown in reverse video
The higher the frequency of the ultr asonic pulse the better the resolution.
Therefore, the high frequency pulse is useful for detailed observation of f ish

from the SYSTEM SETTING menu. For further det ails, see ZOOM MODE on
page 3-3.
Bottom-lock display
The bottom-lock display shows the area between the zoom marker and the
bottom as a straight line to dist inguish it from fish near the bottom, and thus it is
useful for discriminating fish near the bottom .
The bottom-lock zoom range may be chosen on the RANGE SETTING menu.

1. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
Mix display
The mix display compares echo intensity between low and high frequencies, and
displays echoes from tiny fish in discriminative colors. This is done by utilizing
the fact that tiny fish return a stronger echo against a high frequency rather than
a low frequency. This is done as below.
1. If a high frequency echo is stronger than the corresponding echo on the low
frequency, the high frequency echo is displayed.
2. If the low frequency echo is stronger than or equal to the high frequency echo,
it is less likely to be a tiny fish and therefore is displayed in blue.
3. If the echoes on both frequencies have the intensity corresponding to
reddish-brown or red, they are displayed in reddish-brown or red: this is
necessary to display the zero line and bottom in reddish-brown or red.
4. In other words, the echoes displayed in orange thru light-blue may be
considered to be tiny fish such as whitebait.

When choosing an advance speed, keep in m ind that a fast advance speed
will expand the size of a fish school horizontally and a slow speed will
contract it.
