1.6 Automatic Operation
How automatic operation works
The automatic function automatically
chooses the proper gain, range scale and
clutter. It works as follows:
• The range changes automatically to
display the bottom echo on the screen.
• The gain is automatically adjusted to
display the bottom echo in the darkest
tone.
• Clutter (on the menu), which suppresses
low-level noise, is automatically adjusted.
Choosing automatic operation
The automatic mode provides two choices
of modes: cruising and fishing.
1. Press the [MENU/ESC] key to open the
menu.
2. Choose AUTO MODE from page 1 of
the menu.
3. Press ► to open the mode options
window.
4. Choose Cruising or Fishing as
appropriate.
“Cruising” is for tracking the bottom;
“Fishing” is for searching fish schools.
Since “Cruising” uses a higher clutter
rejection setting than fishing, it is not
recommended for fish detection - weak
fish echoes may not be displayed.
“Fishing” clearly displays weaker
echoes.
