Zoom adjustments
Using the echo
You can adjust the zoom of the Full Screen page, the Split Zoom page, and
the Split Frequency page manually, or you can allow the device to adjust the
zoom automatically.
Sonar Screen Settings
The Full Screen page, the Split Zoom page, the Split Frequency page,
and the Flasher page are a visual representation of the area beneath your
boat. These sonar views can be customized as indicated in the following
paragraphs.
Adjust the zoom manually by selecting the span (amount of sonar data that
will be displayed in the zoomed window) and selecting a fixed starting
depth. For example, if you select a span of 15 meters and a starting depth
of 5 meters, the device will display an area from 5 meters deep to 20 meters
deep.
adjusting the range of the Depth Scale
When you adjust the zoom automatically, the span is the area that will be
displayed on the screen from the contour of the bottom of the water. For
example, if you select a span of 10 meters, the device will display an area
from the bottom of the water to 10 meters above the bottom.
You can adjust the range of the depth scale that appears on the right side of
the Full Screen page, the Split Zoom page, and the Split Frequency page,
and the inside of the flasher. This setting determines how deep the sonar will
search for targets.

The 200 kHz frequency shows better detail, has a narrower beam, and is
typically used in shallower waters.
The A-Scope is a vertical flasher along the right side of the Full Screen page
that shows the range to targets in real time along a scale. This view expands
the most recently received sonar data so that it is easier to see. It can also be
helpful in detecting fish that are located close to the bottom.
The 77 kHz frequency has a wider beam, so it can be used to cover a larger
area. It can be used as a search tool to locate structure, such as brush piles,
and to see more fish.

Setting the Water Temperature Offset
The temperature offset compensates for the temperature reading from a
temperature-capable sensor.
1. Measure the water temperature using the temperature-capable transducer
that is connected to the echo.
2. Measure the water temperature using a thermometer or a different
temperature sensor that is known to be accurate.
3. Subtract the water temperature measured in step 1 from the water
temperature measured in step 2.
This is the temperature offset. Enter this value in steps 5 and 7 as a
positive number if the sensor connected to the echo measures the water
temperature as being colder than it actually is. Enter this value in steps 5
and 7 as a negative number if the sensor connected to the echo measures
the water temperature as being warmer than it actually is.

echo 500c/550c: 700 ft. (213 m)
2. Gently wipe the screen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth.
*Depth capacity is dependent on water salinity, bottom type, and other water conditions.
System Settings
The transducer provided with the echo 200/300c/500/550c has beam angles
of 15 and 45 degrees at 3dB. However, when this transducer is used with
the echo device, it can detect the smallest signals up to 60 and 120 degrees.
Shallow and deep water performance is maximized because the echo series
shows more fish when shallow, and reaches deep to show structure and
bottom contours.
