Sonar
Sonar Menu
Accesses features ranging from Auto Sensitivity and Depth 
Range to Frequency and Stop Sonar. 
From  the Sonar Page, press 
MenU to access the Sonar 
Menu.
Sensitivity
Controls the level of detail shown on the display. Increasing Sensitivity will show 
more detail on the screen; decreasing Sensitivity displays less. Too much detail will 
clutter the screen. Conversely, desired echoes may not be displayed if Sensitivity is 
set too low. 
 
Auto Sensitivity
Keeps sensitivity at a level that works well under 
most conditions, reducing the need for adjustments. 
You can make minor changes to sensitivity with Auto 
Sensitivity turned on, but you will have to turn it off 
to make significant adjustments. 
Auto Sensitivity can be turned on/off by selecting Auto Sensitivity from the Sonar 
menu and pressing 
enTeR.
NOTE: By default, Sensitivity is set to auto mode. You may 
have to turn off Auto Sensitivity to set sensitivity to a desired 
level. Auto Sensitivity is covered in more detail later in this 
section.
Sensitivity set to 80 percent
Sensitivity set to 60 percent
