In this mode,background information will still be displayed makingfish identification easier.— Same as above, with target depth displayed.— Suspended targets displayed as symbols. No backgroundinformation will be displayed in this mode.— Same as above, with target depth displayed.Frequency (continued)The wide cone angles associated with low frequencies (40° for 50kHz)provide a large coverage area for finding fish. However, this also means thatwide cone angles produce less bottom detail and resolution. The narrowcone angles associated with high frequencies (10° for 200kHz) providebetter bottom resolution and crisper detail, but therefore cannot show alarge coverage area for finding fish. Dual frequency mode combines theimproved contour detail and depth readings of the 200kHz frequency withthe wide coverage area of the 50kHz frequency.To select a Frequency:1. Highlight the ‘Chart’ tab on the Setup Menu.2. Highlight the ‘Frequency’ selection field and press ENTER.3. Using the UP or DOWN Arrow, choose ‘200kHz,’ 50kHz’ or ‘Dual’ andpress ENTER.
