3.6 Rejecting Sonar Interference and Noise

While observing the picture, you may encounter occasional or
intermittent noise and interference as shown below. This is
mostly caused by onboard electronic equipment, engine, pro-
peller noise, or electrical noise from other sonars being oper-
ated nearby. Turn on the interference rejector (IR) in the SONAR
menu to reduce or eliminate the interference.
