High sensitivity levels let you see this detail, but it can also clutter the

screen with many undesired signals. Typically, the best sensitivity level

shows a good solid bottom signal with Grayline and some surface clutter.
Automatic Sensitivity
The default sensitivity mode is automatic. The unit bases the sensitiv-

ity level on water depth and conditions. When the unit is in the auto-

matic mode, sensitivity is automatically adjusted to keep a solid bottom

signal displayed, plus a little more power. This gives it the capability to

show fish and other detail.
Situations occur, however, when it becomes necessary to increase or

decrease the sensitivity. This typically happens when you wish to see

more detail, so an increase in sensitivity is necessary or when wave

action and boat wakes create tiny air bubbles that clutter the water

column. In that case, a decrease in sensitivity is needed to reduce some

of the clutter.
In automatic mode you can adjust sensitivity up to 100 percent, but the
unit will limit your minimum setting. It will continue to make small

adjustments, allowing for the setting you selected.
In manual mode, you have complete control over sensitivity with the

ability to set it anywhere from zero to 100 percent. Once you select a

level in manual mode, the unit will continue to use that sensitivity set-

ting until it is modified or until the unit is put back into auto mode.
