SENSITM BAR •'i1F9i1'1bth' AUTO j'tU' Figure 2 SENSITIVITY When first turned on, the X-3 is in the AUTO SEARCH mode. This means the sensitivity and range are being automatically adjusted by the micro- computer to find and lock onto the bottom.
SURVEYING A LAKE The most successful anglers on any lake or reservoir are those who fish it day after day and year after year until they learn the hot spots that pro- duce fish consistently. They discover through experience where, and at what depth, they can expect to find the kind of fish they want at any sea- son.
LCHART p SLOW STOP I FAST RESUME For example, the 9 key has a small label beneath the number nine that says "LIGHT". If you press the 9 key by itself, the X-3 thinks that you want the number 9. However, if you press the 2nd key first, then press the nine key, the X-3 will turn on the lights in the display.
SURFACECLUTTER The markings at the top of the screen represent the surface of the water which can extend many feet below the surface. This can interfere with fish signals or other targets. It's called Surface Clutter and is caused by algae, plankton, air bubbles caused by wave action or boat wakes, bait fish, or temperature inversions.
SCALE Remember, there must be some movement between the boat and the fish There are ten scale markers printed on both sides of the X-3's display to help determine what the depth of a target is. For example, if the depth range is 0 to 60 feet, then each mark is equal to six feet.
FISH SIGNALS For example, to set the range from 0 to 31 feet, press 3-1 -LOWER LIMIT. The signals displayed on the X-3 by fish can be identified by various shaped markings in certain patterns, as opposed to random marks created by noise, or the solid, continuous markings made by the bottom.
Example: Set range to 16 to 31 feet Press: 1-6-UPPER LIMIT then 3-1 - LOWER LIMIt Figure 8 UPPER LIMIT NOTE: When the X-3 is in the AUTO RANGE mode, the upper limit may be changed at anytime.
TRANSDUCERS AND CONE ANGLE The sound waves from the transducr go down ihto the water in a cone shaped beam, much like the beam frOm a flashlight The angle betWeen the outside edges of the cone is called the cone angle.
To turn the digital display off, or back on again, press 2nd-5. N OTE Even if the digital numbers are not being displayed on the screen, the digital sonar will still continue to function. If the digital loses the bottom signal, the chart display will stop until the digital finds the bottom.
AUTO RANGE WITH ZOOM BOTTOM TRACK An optional Auto Range feature is AUTO RANGE with ZOOM BOTTOM TRACK. When the X-3 is in the auto-range mode, it picks a lower limit range that will keep the bottom signal in the lower 4/5 of the screen.
If the chart alarm is set off by a fish or the bottom, the alarm will sound and the ALARM can be seen at the bottom of the display lithe range is changed, the chart alarm may need to be changed also, since it operates independently and does not track range sethngs.
r71 FASTRAK FASTRAK J The FASTRAK causes the X-3 to display the bottom, fish, trees, or other echoes including the bottom signal will be converted into short, straight horizontal lines. As the bottom or other echoes moves shallow or deeper, the lines will rise or fall accordingly.
19 LIGHT LIGHT A light is provided for operation of the X-3 at night. When the unit is first turned on, the lights will flash for 6 seconds. Press the 2nd-9 keys and the lights will stay on. To turn the lights off, press the 2nd-9 keys. The lights will also go off when the X-3 is turned off.
