THE “MODE” AND “FUNCTION” BUTTONS
There are two membrane-protected push buttons located below the carrying handle on
the Carrying Shuttle. Use these
buttons for selecting which
Aqua-Vu DT camera direction and
measurement features you want
to use.
WARNING: Turning unit on and off underwater will recalibrate the sensor so that you will
get a false reading. You will need to pull the unit up before switching the lights on or off
to avoid this problem.
MODE BUTTON - Press the MODE button to choose from three modes - Relative,
Absolute, Temp-only, or Standard Operating mode. Relative and Absolute modes deal with
camera direction.Standard operating mode is for just plain viewing - watching lure, bait,
fish, bottom structure, etc. - without any directional or temperature information on the
screen.
– Push MODE button one time and relative direction goes away.
– Push MODE button a second time and absolute reading appears.
– Push MODE button a third time and relative direction appears again.
FUNCTION BUTTON - Press the FUNCTION button to select either fresh or
saltwater use, adjust for the atmospheric pressure at your particular lake plus display in
either feet or meters and F
0
or C
0
.
– Push FUNCTION button one time and the display goes to saltwater, feet, fahrenheit.
– Push FUNCTION button a second time and the display goes to freshwater, meters an
centigrade.
– Push FUNCTION button a third time and the display goes to saltwater, meters and
centigrade.
– Push FUNCTION button a fourth time and the display goes to standard mode.
DEPTH-TECH FEATURE: KNOWING CAMERA DEPTH
When viewing in open water, "drag" due to water resistance increases the amount of cable
needed to reach a target depth. The deeper or faster you go, there's more "drag" on the
camera and cable, pulling it away from the boat. In many situations, the camera and
viewing depth may significantly differ from the sonars depth reading. For example, while
the boat is over 20 feet of water, as indicated by the sonar, the camera might drag back
over a drop-off and be "viewing" in 30 feet.
Or, with 25 feet of cable out the boat, your camera might ride only 20 feet down. Thus,
neither cable length nor sonar readings pinpoint the accurate depth of the camera and
what it sees.
