USING THE WIDE ONE HUNDRED The Wide One Hundred is simple to use. Simply press the POWER button, and the unit will automatically locate the bottom, adjust the depth range and sensitivity to an appropriate level, and draw a picture of the terrain beneath your boat.
Since some specie s of fish tend to be better reflector of sonar than others, the strength of return is not always an accurate indicator of fish size, however, typically, the larger the fish, the larger the signal return. CONTROL FUNCTIONS The Wide One Hundred unit uses o nly seven buttons to control all functions.
UP ARROW selects the next larger or next sequential adjustment within the menu. Holding an Arrow button down will cause the unit to continue to make the adjustment, until a limit is reached, and a continuous chirp is heard. DOWN ARROW selects the next smaller adjustment within the menu.
Range The Wide One Hundred adjusts the depth range automatically, so the bottom return is displayed at the bottom 1/3 of the display. This leaves the top 2/3 to display anything between the surface and the bottom.
Zoom Another form of range control is Zoom. The Zoom menu allows three different settings; Zoom Off, Zoom On, and BL or Bottom Lock. Zoom allows sel ection of various ranges for full screen viewing, not necessarily including the surface.
Bottom Alarm The Wide One Hundred contains an audible alarm to warn you of shallow water depths. This alarm is adjustable from 2' to 99' of depth. To enable the alarm, simply adjust the alarm depth using the UP and DOWN arr ow buttons, and press ENTER.
ID ID is the automatic identification of target returns based on the strength of the returned sign al and other factors. Three options are available: ID "On" displays targets as one of three different size fish symbols.
