Ping Speed & HyperScroll

Ping Speed controls the rate at which the transmitter and transducer

broadcast sonar sound waves — pings — into the water. The unit has a

default ping speed of 50 percent. At normal boating speeds, this auto-

matically provides enough return echoes to refresh the screen and

scroll the chart at maximum chart speed.
However, when you are running at high speeds, or just want the fastest
possible screen update, you may want to use the HyperScroll

™ feature.

When you change the Ping Speed to any setting greater than 50 per-

cent, the unit automatically enters HyperScroll mode.
These faster ping rates allow you to maintain a high-detail picture on

the screen, and the screen refresh rate and chart scroll speed can keep

pace with the boat as it moves quickly over the bottom terrain.
When using HyperScroll, you may also need to manually decrease the

sensitivity for optimum performance. Depending on water depth and

other conditions, HyperScroll may cause a second bottom echo to return

to the transducer during the next ping cycle, or sounding. This can result

in a large amount of clutter appearing on the screen. If this occurs, just

decrease the sensitivity to a level that eliminates the clutter. When you

turn HyperScroll off, you can return to your original sensitivity level.
