Setting up the image | S2009-2016 Fish Finder User Manual
When zooming in, the sea floor is kept near the bottom of the screen, irrespective of whether it is in auto-range or manual range.
If the range is set considerably less than the actual depth, the unit is not able to find the bottom when zooming.
You can also zoom the image as a split screen and display zoom bars. Refer to split screen "Zoom" on page 17.
Frequency
The unit supports several transducer frequencies. Available frequencies depend on the transducer model that is connected.
Frequency is the ‘tone’ the transducer transmits. Transducers are designed to operate on different frequencies as the various frequencies have different qualities.
To set the frequency, you have two options:
• Press the Frequency softkey once to activate it and then turn the rotary knob to activate
and select a frequency.
• Press the Frequency softkey twice to display the pop-up. Turn the rotary knob to activate
a frequency in the pop-up and then press Enter or the rotary knob to select it.
Gain
The gain controls the sensitivity. The more you increase the gain, the more details are shown on the image. However, a higher gain setting may introduce more background clutter on the image. If the gain is set too low, weak echoes might not be displayed.
To set the Gain, press the Gain softkey once and turn the rotary knob to adjust the gain value.
Auto gain
The Auto gain option keeps the sensitivity at a level that works well under most conditions. With the gain in auto mode, you can set a positive or negative offset that gets applied to the auto gain.
To set the Gain to auto, press the Gain softkey twice to display the pop-up. Turn the rotary knob to activate the Auto pop-up and press the Enter key or rotary knob to select it. A check-mark is displayed in the check-box when it is selected. Or press-and-hold the Gain softkey to toggle Auto gain on/off.
To set a positive or negative offset to auto gain with auto selected, turn the rotary knob to adjust the auto value.
Color
Strong and weak signals have different colors to indicate the different signal strengths. The colors used depend on which palette you select. The more you increase the Color setting, the more echoes are displayed in the color at the strong return end of the scale.
To set the Color, press the Color softkey once and turn the rotary knob to adjust the value.

Split screen options
Split screen options are available on the split screen sub-menu.
Zoom
The Zoom mode presents a magnified view of the sounder image on the left side of the panel.
You can select up to 8x zoom using the rotary knob. The range zoom bars on the right side of the display shows the range that is magnified. If you
increase the zooming factor the range is reduced. You see this as reduced distance between the zoom bars.
Activate the zoom bar option on the View menu to display the zoom bars. Activate and move the cursor to pan history and view different depths of the water column. Refer to "Zoom bars" on page 18.
Bottom lock
The bottom lock mode is useful when you want to view echoes close to the bottom. In this mode the left side of the panel shows an image where the bottom is flattened. The range scale is changed to measure from the seabed (0) and upwards. The bottom and the zero line are always shown on the left image, independent of the range scale. The scaling factor for the image on the left side of the panel is adjusted as described for the Zoom option.
Frequency
The frequency split screen option is only available if multiple frequencies are available. The frequency mode is useful when you want to view higher and lower frequencies at the
same time.
• A low frequency, for example 50 kHz, will go deep. It generates a wide cone but is
somewhat more sensitive to noise. It is good for bottom discrimination and wide area search.
• A high frequency, for example 200 kHz, offers higher discrimination and is less sensitive to
noise. It is good for separating targets and for higher speed vessels.
On a frequency split screen image, press the rotary knob to toggle between the left-side and right-side images. The active image has an orange frame around it. Press the frequency Softkey and turn the rotary knob to adjust the frequency on the split screen image that is active. You can use most softkey options to change the range, gain, color, etc. to the split screen image that is active.
Orientation
Orientation is only available if the Frequency split screen option is used. You can specify to show the split screens on top of each other or side-by-side.
No split
To revert to a single image select No split in the Split sub-menu.
Palettes
You can select between several display palettes optimized for a variety of fishing conditions.
