1.7 Adjusting the Gain
The [G AIN] control adjusts receiver gain (s ensitivity) for the hori z ontal, slant
vertical modes . Adjust it so fish echoes are clear ly displayed with minimal noise
on the screen. Too high a gain sett ing not only displays excess noise and makes
it difficult to discriminate wanted echoes but also causes bottom echo es to be
painted in strong colors, resul ting in echoes being maske d by bottom reflections.
Normally, set the control somewhere between positions 3 and 7.
1. If the horizontal and vertical m odes ar e ac tive, press the [HSV] k ey to show
the range and g ain indications of the mode you wish to adj us t in yellow.
Pressing t he [ HS V ] key changes the range and gain indicati on in yellow
between hor izontal1 and horizontal2, or horizontal and vertical, alternately.
2. Adjust the [GAIN] c ontrol.
New gai n s etting is mom entarily displayed in large charac ters at the top of
each display. Gain is always displ ay ed at the top right-hand corner of the
horizontal display and bottom on the vertical 1 display.
