Softkeys
Instructions in this manual are based on HDS unit menus, not
softkeys. If you have an HDS-8 or HDS-10, you can get the same
results using the softkeys.
To use softkeys:
1. Touch the desired softkey to change settings, view a softkey menu
or adjustment scrollbar.
2. Use the keypad to select menu items and make adjustments to
scrollbars. Press EXIT to close softkey menus.
NOTE: After making adjustments to options or settings, use the EXIT
key to resume normal operation.
StructureScan
Consists of two powerful sonar views: Sidescan and Downscan. Used in
conjunction with the built-in broadband sounder, StructureScan gives you an
underwater panoramic view.
Sidescan
Sidescan
Broadcasts a sonar beam to each side of your boat allowing you to view structure,
and terrain without having to drive your boat over the top of it.
3
You can use Sidescan to:
• Save waypoints at objects/locations off to side of the boat
• Review history
• Measure the size of underwater objects and the distance from one
object/location to another object/location using live Sidescan returns
or Sidescan history
• Create sonar logs
Downscan
Uses the same technology as sidescan, but broadcasts the beam downward, giving you the same high resolution in a familiar right to left display.
Downscan
You can use Downscan to:
• See different view of objects/locations selected with cursor on
Sidescan panel
• Save waypoints
• Review history and create sonar logs
• Overlay Downscan imaging on the sonar page
