Selecting the Power Setting

The POWER soft key provides adjustment of the transducer signal. When AUTO is
selected (default), the sounder automatically determines the optimal power
setting based on the current depth, speed, and (bottom) signal strength. When
AUTO is selected the current automatic power setting is indicated in the top status
line by an L (low) or H (high).

If, however, you wish to manually adjust the power to suit current conditions, you
can select either LO or HI power. LO power (100 W) is normally used in depth
ranges less than 8 ft (2.4 m) and HI power (600 or 1000 W, depending on your
transducer) is typically selected for depths greater than 12 ft (3.7 m).

To change the power setting:

1. Press the MULTI key (MULTI knob on CRT radar units) to display the soft key

controls.

2. Press the POWER soft key to toggle between AUTO, LO, or HI power. The

selected setting is highlighted.

3. Press ENTER or CLEAR to return to the default screen.
