Operating Modes
FLS Mode
FLS Mode is the sonar operating mode that displays the sonar image of the seabed
ahead and below the transducer. There are eight forward range settings (20m, 40m,
60m, 80m, 100m, 150m, 200m and Auto) that are selectable with the up and down
arrow keys. When the upper range is reached with the up arrow (200m), a further
press puts the unit onto the ‘Auto’ range. Similarly, when the lower range is reached
with the down arrow, a further press puts the unit onto the Auto range. A press of
either arrow key while Auto is on will switch the Auto off and the user will retain
manual control of the range.
When returning to manual range, the range selected will be the last range selected by
the Auto function until the user presses an arrow key to change range.
