1. Overview
The production is application to the angler who angle the fishing in the lake, river
or sea. It can help to know the depth, outline of the water bottom, and the qty and the
depth of fishing or fishing school.
2. How sonar works
1）Sonar technology uses sound propagation and reflection to determine the distance
and shape of an object. This product is the use of this technology, the use of sonar
sensors directly detect and identify the fish in the water and the depth of the bottom.
2）When working in the machine, the sonar sensor will send out an ultrasonic signal.
When the signal meets the underwater object, it will be reflected back. Then the host
computer calculates its distance and position according to the reflection time and waveform.

display. The wider the horizontal line, the stronger the signal, and the depth at which the echo is located refers to the
depth scale.
9. Menu function Settings
9.1. Menu composition
The main menu of the system consists of three menu groups：
1）Sonar menu group 2）Setting menu group 3）Advanced menu group

8
Use the On/Off button to switch between the three menus or close the menu.
9.2. Function setting of sonar menu group
Press the On/Off button once to enter the sonar menu group, which has 4 setting items:
1) sensitivity setting; 2) Depth range; 3) Fish icon/depth; 4) Presentation mode.
1）Sensitivity setting
Press the menu key to select the "Sonar" menu group, and then press the Confirm key to select the sensitivity submenu.
The optional setting value is "1%" to "100%" or "Automatic". When the background color of the menu item is red, the left
and right clicks can be used to modify the selected options.
Users can show the signals they want on the screen by adjusting the sensitivity and display the signals. If the user
needs to see more echo signals, the sensitivity set value should be adjusted higher. In the case of high sensitivity, a lot
of underwater noise will inevitably be displayed on the screen. If the user does not want to see these underwater
noises, then the sensitivity setting should be lowered. Users can adjust the sensitivity settings according to their actual
needs. If the sensitivity is set to "automatic", the system will automatically select the sensitivity according to the
different underwater depth, and the user does not need to set the sensitivity manually.
This menu has a total of 1%~100% sensitivity levels for users to choose.
Sonar fish finder is a device that transmits ultrasonic waves and analyzes the reflected waves. All objects in the water,
whether large or small, soft or hard, will produce a certain amount of reflected waves. Larger or harder objects will
produce multiple reflected waves, so a "screen" is needed to filter out unnecessary information. Here the sensitivity is
the "sieve" of the "screen", the higher the sensitivity, the "sieve" "smaller".

9
Increasing sensitivity is equivalent to reducing the "sieve", so there is a little more left on the screen (the dots on the
screen), of course, which may result in a cluttered display.
Reducing the sensitivity, on the other hand, is equivalent to increasing the "sieve hole," so that less remains on the
screen (the dots displayed on the screen) and the system filters out some of the information, making the display
relatively simple. But be aware that you're filtering out potentially important information.
So, after you've used it for a while, choosing the right sensitivity and the right depth range (which we'll get to later)
becomes critical.
Generally, we recommend that you can increase the sensitivity when the water is deep or clear, and you can lower the
sensitivity when the water layer has more impurities or is turbidity or shallow. This reduces the number of false probes.
We can also use this function to distinguish between large and small fish when there are more fish. Turn down the
sensitivity, increase the "sieve", and the less reflective objects will be filtered out, leaving the relatively large fish
•2）Depth range setting
Press the On/Off key to select the "Sonar" menu group, press the up/Down key to select the depth range item, and
press the left/right key to select it
Set the unit as "FT" in depth (FT), value of "0-9 FT" respectively, "0-15 FT" "0 to 30 FT" "0-60 FT" "0-90 FT" "0-120
FT" "" automatic".
Unit set to "M" in depth (M), the value of 0 to 3 M, respectively "0 to 5 M" "0 to 10 M" "0-20 M" "0 to 30 M" "0 to 40 M"
"automatic".
When the depth range is set to a fixed value, the screen will adjust to the corresponding display range according to the
set value. Content outside the set range will no longer be displayed.
3）Upper limit of the depth range
Optional values: 0 to 120FT (0 to 40m)
4）The lower limit of the depth range is set
Optional value: 9FT to 120FT (3m to 40m)

10
*** Note: The minimum value between the upper limit and the lower limit of depth range is 3M (9FT).
*** Note: The value of the last operation performed by the system when the depth range and the upper and lower
limits of the depth range are different.
After the upper and lower limits of the depth range are adjusted, the upper and lower limits are automatically adjusted
to the depth range.
5）Fish icon/depth Settings
Optional Settings: "On/On" "On/Off" "Off/Off"
"On/Off" displays both the icon and depth of the fish.
"On/Off" displays only the fish icon but not the depth.
The "off/off" fish icon and fish depth are not displayed.
Above the fish icon.
When the fish icon and fish depth display is set to "on", the system will echo the signal. Analyze and match the signals
according to the strength of the echoes above the water bottom Display as fish icon of different sizes, and display
the depth values corresponding to these signals.
This product is a very powerful echo signal analysis system, you can select part of the water noise, surface clutter and
temperature change layer through the menu setting, and then the rest of the signal corresponding display as fish icon.
But the system is also limited, and some cases are not recognized, such as suspended in the water of dead branches,
bubbles, garbage and so on May also be displayed as fish icon.
The sonar system is not an underwater video system. It cannot visually display fish and other floating objects, such as
grass, branches, debris or air bubbles. Users need to make judgments based on the reflected sonar signals.
6）Depth pointer
The depth pointer is shown on the right by a horizontal line and a numerical depth box, where the number is the depth
corresponding to the horizontal line. You can use the up and down keys to move the pointer on the screen at will,
allowing you to find the depth of a target.
7）Presentation mode setting
Optional Settings: "On" "Off"
Demo mode is a powerful tool. Using Demo mode makes it easy for the user to learn how to use the fish Finder.
When set to "On", the Demo Mode flag will be displayed on the screen.
