In this example, we will use 1.5 feet. This will be entered as a positive 1.5 feet, which makes the depth indicators perform as if the transducer is higher in the water than it really is. 75 1. Press MENU|MENU|v to SONAR SETUP|ENT. 2. Select SET KEEL OFFSET and press ENT. 3. The Keel Offset dialog box appears. Press v so the displayed number shows a plus (+) sign instead of the minus (–) sign. 3. To change the next digit, press > then use ^v to enter 1. Move to the next digit and enter 5, then press EXIT. The depth indicators nowaccurately show the waterline as 1.5 feet above the transducer. Sonar Color Mode The default color scheme for the sonar chart is grayscale, but we offer other variations to suit your viewing preferences. You can select thechart to be displayed in reverse grayscale, bottom black or FishRevealmode. (For more information on FishReveal, see the entry on that topicelsewhere in this section.) To change the chart mode color scheme: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU|v to SONAR FEATURES|ENT. 2. Press v to SONAR CHART MODE|ENT. 3. Press v or ^ to Mode Name|ENT. 4. Press EXIT|EXIT to return to the Sonar Page. Sonar Page & Sonar Chart Display Options The Cuda 350 offers three Sonar chart display options. To choose one, press EXIT to clear any menus, then press PAGES and use the ^v keysto select the desired mode. Full Sonar Chart This is the default mode used when the Sonar is turned on for the first time or when it is reset to the factory defaults. The bottom signalscrolls across the screen from right to left. Depth scales on the rightside of the screen aid in determining depth of targets. The line at thetop of the screen represents the surface. 76 The bottom depth and surface temperature (if the unit is equipped witha temperature sensor or a transducer with a temp sensor built in) showat the top left corner of the screen. The FasTrack™ display shows just to the right of the scale. Thischanges all echoes into short horizontal bars, replicating a flasher sonar. The zoom bar on the far right shows the area that is zoomed whenthe zoom is in use. (See the Zoom section for more information.) Full Sonar Chart. The Overlay Data (depth and water temperature) are set to a different text size. Split Zoom Sonar Chart A split chart shows the underwater world from the surface to the bottom on the right side of the screen. The left side shows an enlarged version of the right side. The zoom range shows at the bottom left corner of the screen. 77 Split Zoom Sonar Chart. First image (left) shows the left window zoomed to 2X. The second image (right) shows the left window zoomed to 4X. The depth overlay data is set to the default large text size. The water temperature is set to the medium text size. Digital Data/Chart This mode shows nine digital boxes or windows containing (by default): Water Depth, Water Temp, Position Error, Bearing, Distance, Speed, Travel Time, Track and Off Course. Digital Data/Chart 78 Sonar Simulator This unit has a built-in simulator that will allow you to practice asthough you were on the water. All sonar features and functions will beuseable during a simulation. When in simulator mode, you will see[Simulator Mode] in the Sonar Page title bar. To use the simulator: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU|MENU|v to SONAR SETUP|ENT. 2. Select SONAR SIMULATOR ON and press ENT. If you want to simulate your position, highlight SIMULATE POSITION and press ENT, which will turn on the GPS Simulator. NOTE: If you turn on your unit before attaching a transducer, it may enter a demo mode. The words demo mode flash on the bottom of the screen and a sonar chart will play. Unlike the simulator, the demomode is for demonstration only and will automatically stop as soonas you turn on the unit with a transducer attached. The simulator will continue to function normally. Stop Chart If you are running multiple units on a boat, there are times when youmay want to turn off the sonar. This command turns off the sonar and stops the chart from scrolling. Sonar restarts automatically each timeyou turn on your unit. Press MENU|v to STOP CHART|ENT|EXIT. To turn the sonar on again, repeat the step above. 79 Sonar Menu with Stop Chart selected. The box is unchecked, indicating the chart is scrolling across the screen. Surface Clarity The onscreen marks scattered at the top of the sonar chart are knownas surface clutter. They are caused by wave action, boat wakes, temperature inversion and more. The surface clarity control reduces or eliminates surface clutter signalsfrom the display. It does this by changing the sensitivity of the receiver, decreasing it near the surface and gradually increasing it as the depthincreases. There are four levels of surface clarity available: off, low, medium or high. The default level is off. To adjust the Surface Clarity level: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU|v to SONAR FEATURES|ENT|ENT. 2. Press v^ to select clarity level, then press EXIT repeatedly to get backto the main page displ...
