48 AQUAMAP™ 10x2/12x2 SERIESThe a-scope is a vertical flasher along the right side of the view, showingyou what is underneath the transducer right now. You can use the a-scopeto identify target returns that may be missed when the sonar data is quicklyscrolling across the screen, such as when your boat is moving at highspeeds. It can also be helpful for detecting fish that are close to the bottom.The a-scope above shows fish returns 1 and a soft bottom return 2 .1 From a sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Appearance >A-Scope > On.2 Select a hold time.You can increase the hold time to increase the length of time the sonarreturns are displayed.Sonar AlarmsNOTE: Not all options are available on all transducers.From an applicable sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup / ClearVüSetup / SideVü Setup > Alarms.You can also open the sonar alarms by selecting Settings > Alarms >Sonar.Shallow Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is less than thespecified value.Deep Water: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth is greater than thespecified value.FrontVü Alarm: Sets an alarm to sound when the depth in front of thevessel is less than the specified value, which can help you avoid runningaground. This alarm is available only with Panoptix FrontVü transducers.Water Temp.: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer reports atemperature that is 2°F (1.1°C) above or below the specified temperature.Contour: Sets an alarm to sound when the transducer detects a suspendedtarget within the specified depth from the surface of the water and from thebottom.Fish: Sets an alarm to sound when the device detects a suspended target.• sets the alarm to sound when fish of all sizes are detected.• sets the alarm to sound only when medium or large fish aredetected.• sets the alarm to sound only when large fish are detected.Advanced Sonar SettingsFrom a Traditional sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Advanced.Shift: Allows you to set the depth range on which the sonar is focused. Thisallows you to zoom in a higher resolution in the focused depth.When using shift, bottom tracking may not work effectively, becausethe sonar looks for data within the depth range of the focused area,which may not include the bottom. Using shift also can impact the scrollspeed, because data outside the depth range of the focused area is notprocessed, which reduces the time required to receive and display thedata. You can zoom in to the focused area, which enables you to evaluatetarget returns more closely at a higher resolution than just zooming alone.Echo Stretch: Adjusts the size of the echoes on the screen to make it easierto see separate returns on the screen.When targets are difficult to see 1 , echo stretch makes the target returnsmore pronounced and easier to see on the screen. If the echo stretchvalue is too high, the targets blend together. If the value is too low 2 , thetargets are small and more difficult to see.
