Garmin Panoptix PS22-IF Installation Instructions Manual

Adjusting the Transducer AngleThe transducer should be angled properly for optimal imagery in each mode.1 With the transducer mounted, angle the transducer according to the mode you will use:• For LiveVü Forward mode, angle the transducer forward and slightly downward .• For LiveVü Down mode, angle the transducer down .TIP: You may want to experiment to find the best angle for your sonar needs.TIP: For LiveVü Forward mode, adjust the angle 1 or 2 clicks downward in shallow water (less than 4.6 m/15feet) and 2 or 3 clicks downward in deeper water (more than 4.6 m/15 feet).2 Tighten the knob or mounting bolt so the device does not move during use.3 On the chartplotter, select Sonar, and select LiveVü Down or LiveVü Forward.Effective Forward and Down RangeCAUTIONWater conditions and bottom conditions affect the depth and range performance of the transducer. You shoulduse caution and observe the water depth and range to prevent damage or loss of the device, especially whenyour unit is operating in manual range or depth mode.When operating in LiveVü Forward mode, the transducer has an effective forward range of between five andeight times the depth of the water. For example, in 3 m (10 ft.) of water, the effective forward range is between15 and 24 m (between 50 and 80 ft.). Water conditions and bottom conditions affect the actual range.When operating in LiveVü Down mode, the fore/aft range is equal to the depth of the water. For example, in10 m (33 ft.) water depth, the screen will display 5 m (16 ft.) fore and 5 m (16 ft.) aft of the transducer. Deeperwater provides a greater fore and aft range.5
