Eliminating unwanted feeble
echoes (Adjusting TVG)
If the color changes suddenly to weaker col-
ors as the fish echo while it approaches, ad-
just the TVG NEAR and FAR.

or TVG far .
When sea surface reflections or plankton lay-
ers disturb the picture, adjust the NEAR con-
trolto eliminate them.They will be eliminated
by decreasing the control setting by 1 or 2.
Suppressing seabed tail
Adjusting the AGC control
