How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 500 Series™ Fishfinder uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 500 Series™ Fishfinder sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object.

When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret "graph" of the bottom, fish and structure appears. The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to achieve greater

The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar transmitter. It is commonly measured using two methods: • Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over the entire transmit cycle. • Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest points. The benefits of increased power output are the ability to detect smaller targets at greater distances, ability to overcome noise, better high speed performance and enhanced depth capability.

How GPS and Cartography Work Your 500 Series™ Fishfinder also supports GPS and chartplotting, and uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 10

The following GPS functionality is currently supported by your Fishfinder when it is connected to the included GPS receiver: • View current position • View current track (breadcrumb trail) • View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver • Save tracks, waypoints and routes • Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next. Your Fishfinder supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™Premium on MMC or SD card media. NOTE: Your Fishfinder does not support Navionics® Classic Ch

Multi-Media Card MMC/SD Slot Your 500 Series™ Fishfinder also has a multi- media card MMC/SD slot that is used to insert optional-purchase cards containing additional detailed maps. If you insert an MMC/SD that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location, your Fishfinder will retrieve that chart Inserting an MMC/SD and display it automatically. Use the illustration to into the Card Slot locate the position of the MMC/SD slot cover, and use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the

Sonar View Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display to the left. A Digital Depth Readout is displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along th

Understanding Sonar History It is important to understand the significance of the display. The display does NOT show a literal 3- dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time. As both the boat and the targets (fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing a particular segment of time when objects were detected, not exactly

Freeze Frame Freeze Frame - Pressing any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key will freeze the screen and a cursor will be displayed on the screen. The cursor can be positioned on the display using the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to determine the depth of any sonar return. The RTS® Window continues to update in Freeze Frame. In addition, see the effects of menu setting changes with Instant Image Update. Pressing EXIT will exit Freeze Frame and the display will start to scroll. Freeze Frame is av
