Touch either 200kHz or 50kHz and use the touch screen keyboard to enter the angle.Note: The Sonar Cone Angles setting does not affect a standard Garmin transducer, and should onlybe used to match the specifications of a non-standard transducer.Calibrate Water Speed—calibrates a speed-sensing device. Follow the onscreen directions forcalibration. If you do not have a speed-sensing transducer, this menu does not appear.Note: If the boat is not moving fast enough or the speed sensor is not registering a speed, a “Speedtoo Low” message appears. Touch oK and safely increase boat speed. If you get the message again,stop the boat and make sure the speed-sensor wheel is not stuck. If the wheel turns freely, check thecable connections. If you continue to get the message, contact Garmin Product Support.Configuring Other BoatsTo configure settings for boats other than your own from the Home screen, touch Configure >other Boats.AIS—turn AIS (Automatic Identification System) on or off.
