DSI units do not have a Sensitivity setting like traditional sonar units. Contrast functions as the sensitivity setting for DSI units.
Range
Selects the deepest range shown on the
display. Range settings display the section of the water column from the water
surface to the selected depth range.
Custom Range — Upper and Lower Limits
Used to select the upper limit and lower limit of
a section of the water column. That allows you to
view a section of the water column that does not
include the water surface.
Upper and lower limits must be at least 6.5 ft (2m)
apart.

DSI
NOTE: When using a custom range, you
may not receive any digital depth readings, or you may recieve incorrect depth
information.
Frequency
Controls the transducer frequency
used by the unit. 800 kHz oers the
best resolution, while 455 kHz has
greater depth coverage.
Color
Used to change the unit’s color palette. The Color setting
allows you to select a palette
best suited for your shing
conditions.
The White background palette works well for suspended targets. Purple is useful for viewing structure detail and determining bottom hardness.
Sepia is best for looking at bottom detail. Mono-
chrome uinits only support Grayscale and Reverse
Grayscale settings.
Surface Clarity
Surface Clarity reduces surface clutter by decreasing the sensitivity of the receiver near the surface.
Surface Clarity
set to Low.

Settings
Noise Rejection
Uses advanced signal processing to monitor the effects noise (boat pumps, water conditions, engine
ignitiion systems, etc.) has on your display, and
then lters out the undesired signals.
Manual Mode
Restricts digital depth capability, so the unit will
only send sonar signals to the selected depth
range. That allows the display to continue smooth
scrolling if the bottom depth is out of transducer
range.
WARNING: Manual mode should only be
used by advanced sonar users.
When the unit is in manual mode, you may not receive any depth readings, or you may recieve incorrect depth information.
Installation
Provides access to Keel Oset and Temp Calibration
settings.
Installation menu
Keel Offset
All transducers measure water depth from the
transducer to the bottom. As a result, water depth
readings do not account for the distance from the
transducer to the keel or from the transducer to the
water surface.
18
Transducer
Keel Offset (-3.5 feet)
Before setting keel oset, measure the distance
from the transducer to the lowest part of the keel.
If, for example, the keel is 3.5 feet below the transducer, it will be input as –3.5 feet.
Keel
Settings
Alarms
Enables Shallow alarm and allows you to select the
alarm threshold.
The Shallow alarm sounds an alarm when your vessel enters water shallower than the selected shallow threshold.
Units
Temperature calibration
Calibrates readings from the transducer temperature sensor with data from a known temperature
source to ensure the accuracy of temperature information.
Reset water distance
Reset Water Distance to zero.
Allows you to select the unit of measure used by your unit.
Simulator
Used to simulate on the water activity.
