How Sonar Works

Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The Matrix Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define

structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer.

Your Matrix Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time

between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it

then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object.

Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back again

in less than ¹⁄₄ of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal.

DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar

Your Matrix 97 Fishing System is shipped with a 200/83 kHz DualBeam

PLUS^TMsonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS^TM

sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately or compared

side-by-side. DualBeam PLUS^TMis ideal for a wide range of conditions - from

shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is

affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness,

water conditions and transducer installation.

QuadraBeam™ Sonar

(with Optional-Purchase QuadraBeam^TMTransducer)

Your Matrix 97 Fishing System also supports QuadraBeam™ sonar with

the purchase of an additional QuadraBeam™ transducer. QuadraBeam™

sonar provides an extremely wide 90° area of coverage. QuadraBeam™

starts with two 45° 455 kHz beams for

continuous 90° of

uninterrupted side to side coverage to 160 feet. These Side Structure

locating beams reveal fish and structure to the left and right of your

boat near the bottom. For structure directly below your boat,

Quadrabeam™ uses DualBeam PLUS™ technology.

WideSide Sonar

(with Optional-Purchase WideSide Transducer)

Your Matrix 97 Fishing System also supports WideSide sonar with the purchase of an additional

WideSide transducer. The WideSide transducer is a specialized "side-looking" transducer that is

extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The WideSide transducer uses

three different sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right and straight down from your boat.

The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24° area of coverage. This beam maintains a continuous digital

depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your boat. The side beams are 455 kHz with a 16° area

of coverage. The side-looking elements can be used independently, or together to locate targets near

the surface of the water on either side of your boat.

How GPS and Cartography Work

Your Matrix Fishing System uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and

provide detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation

system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for

military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities,

typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS

receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses

information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary

Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are

available in your area.

GPS uses a constellation of satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present

position is determined by receiving signals from up to 12 satellites and measuring the distance

from the satellites.

The GPS Receiver included with your Matrix Fishing System allows you to combine easy-to-use

FishingGPS™ chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding. The following

GPS functionality is currently supported by the Matrix Fishing System when it is connected to the

included GPS receiver:

•

View current position

View current track (breadcrumb trail)

View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver

Save tracks, waypoints and routes

Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.

Your Matrix Fishing System supports Navionics® Gold Chart

marine cartography and Navionics® HotMaps^TM2004 Gold for

inland fishing.

NOTE: Your Matrix Fishing System does not support Navionics®

Classic Charts, only Navionics® Gold Charts and Navionics®

HotMaps^TM2004 Gold Charts.

Your unit also comes with a built-in World map with a more

detailed map of North America (Domestic models) or a more

detailed map of Europe and Southeast Asia, including

Australia and New Zealand (International models).

M97 Combo View Showing

Detailed Map

Your Matrix Fishing System uses the GPS Receiver to

determine the position of the boat automatically, and uses the

zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart

to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information.

Multi-Media Card (MMC)

Your Matrix Fishing System also has a multi-media card

(MMC) slot that is used to insert optional-purchase cards

containing additional detailed maps. If you insert an MMC

that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location,

your Matrix Fishing System will retrieve that chart and

display it automatically. Use the illustration to locate the

position of the MMC slot cover, remove the MMC slot cover,

and then insert the MMC into the slot. The label on the MMC

should face up. Press down on the card until it clicks into

place, then replace the slot cover, making certain that the

gasket is present and positioned correctly before re-installing

the cover, then replace and tighten the screw snugly - do NOT

overtighten, as this will not improve water resistance, and

may damage the cover.

Sonar View

Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for

temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The

most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is

received, the older information is moved across the display to the left. A Digital Depth Readout is

displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along

the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the water to a

depth range sufficient to show the bottom. Depth Range is automatically selected to keep the

bottom visible on the display, although you can adjust it manually as well (see Sonar X-Press^TMMenu).

Six additional Digital Readouts display information from optional-purchase accessories. These

information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired (see Setup Menu Tab,

Select Readouts).

Freeze Frame - Pressing any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key will freeze the screen in the Sonar

View and a cursor and cursor dialog box will be displayed on the screen. The cursor can be positioned

on the display using the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to determine the depth of any sonar return. The

RTS® Window continues to update in Freeze Frame. In addition, see the effects of menu setting

changes with Instant Image Update. Pressing EXIT will exit Freeze Frame and the display will start to

scroll. Freeze Frame is only available in the Sonar View.

Understanding Sonar History

It is important to understand the significance of the Matrix Fishing System display. The display does

NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data

received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a

sonar return at a particular time. As both the boat and the targets (fish) may be moving, the returns

are only showing a particular segment of time when objects were detected, not exactly where those

objects are in relation to other objects shown on the display.

Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window

A Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only. The

RTS® Window always updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the

returns from the bottom, structure and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS® Window

plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return. (See Sonar Menu: RTS® Window) .

The Narrow RTS® Window

indicates the sonar intensity

through the use of colors. Red

indicates a strong return and

blue indicates a weak return.

The depth of the sonar return

is indicated by the vertical

placement of the return on

the display depth scale.

The Wide RTS® Window in-

dicates the sonar intensity

through the use of a bar

graph. The length of the

plotted return provides an

indication of whether the

return is weak or strong. The

depth of the sonar return is

indicated by the vertical

placement of the return on

the display depth scale.

Bottom Presentation

As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the

Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A

Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display.

A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have

a broken, random appearance.

The sonar returns from the bottom, structure and fish can be represented as either Structure ID® or

WhiteLine®. See Sonar X-Press^TMMenu: Bottom View for details on how to set the bottom view.

Structure ID® represents weak returns in blue and

strong returns in red.

WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns in

white, resulting in a distinctive outline. This has the

benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display.

Sonar Zoom View

Sonar Zoom View increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close

together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom

View, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the full range view on the right and the zoomed view

on the left. The full range view on the right also contains the Zoom Preview Box that shows what part

of the full range view is shown in zoom view on the left; the Zoom Preview Box tracks the bottom in

the full range view.

As the depth changes, the zoomed view updates automatically to display a magnified image of the

bottom. The Zoom Preview Box shows where the zoomed view is in relation to the full range view. The

Zoom Level, or magnification, is displayed in the lower left corner and can be changed to suit

conditions (see Sonar X-Press^TMMenu: Zoom Level). Upper and Lower Zoom Depth Range numbers

indicate the depth of the water which is being viewed.

Digital depth is displayed in the upper left hand corner. The digital readouts in the Sonar Zoom View

cannot be customized; therefore, information such as water temperature and voltage are unavailable

in the Sonar Zoom View.

Bird’s Eye View

Bird's Eye View - This view shows a 3-D, perspective view of the track and the chart’s land contour from a

point above and behind the boat (the eye point). As the boat turns, the eye point moves to follow the boat.

When you press the 4-WAY Cursor key in the Bird’s Eye View, the position of the eye point will shift. This allows

you to move and turn the eye point so that you can look off to the sides, or even behind the boat. Pressing the

RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys on the 4-WAY Cursor key turns the eye point right or left, while pressing the UP arrow

key moves the eye point forward, and pressing the DOWN arrow key moves the eye point backward.

Pressing the EXIT key moves the eye point back to its original position behind and above the boat.

View Orientation

Both Chart and Combo views allow you to choose the orientation of the view. When North-Up

orientation is selected, True North is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects located to

the north of the boat are drawn above the boat. When Course-Up orientation is selected, the direction

of motion of the boat is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects ahead of the boat are

drawn above the boat. In both orientations, the view pans automatically, so that the boat is always

centered on the display. When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle. When the boat is in motion,

it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the direction of motion (always Up in the Course-Up orientation).

Viewing Cartography

In the Chart or Combo Views, there are several cartography-related functions that you can access

using various keys.

Chart View with Cursor Present

Panning: Use the 4-WAY Cursor keys to move the chart around on the display in the direction of the

key being pressed. When you do this, a bullseye cursor is drawn at the center of the screen and is

linked to the boat by a yellow line, even if the boat is off the screen. At the same time, the

temperature and speed boxes in the lower left corner are replaced with the distance and bearing

from the boat to the cursor position and the latitude/longitude coordinates of the cursor.

Zooming: Use the Plus (+) key to Zoom In and the Minus (-) key to Zoom Out showing the

cartography at different scales. The scale is indicated on the left side of the display. If you zoom in

beyond the available chart data, the display will go into Overzoom mode whereby the last

available chart data is amplified to reflect the scale selected. If you zoom in so far that no

cartography is available, a lat/long grid will be drawn instead.

Chart Info: Use the INFO key to get detailed information about the chart. If the cursor is active, you

will see information about the chart objects located near the cursor. If the cursor is not active, the

Chart Info menu will appear. You can select the nearest port, the nearest tide station, or the nearest

current station to see information about any of these objects.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

NOTE: The built-in UniMap^TMdoes not contain any Port, Tide or Current information. This information

is only available from optional-purchase MMC cards.

Nearest Port: The position and services information for the nearest port to your present position

Introduction to Navigation

Use the Matrix Fishing System to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those

waypoints via a saveable route (representing the shortest intended distance between waypoints).

You can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat.

Waypoints, Routes and Tracks

Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your

Matrix Fishing System can store up to 750 waypoints.

Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip

planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the GOTO key. A route represents

your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you

travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination,

although you should always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your Matrix Fishing

System can store up to 10 routes that can each contain up to 20 waypoints.

Tracks consist of detailed position history, and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints.

The Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up (maximum of 2000

trackpoints displayed). You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your Matrix Fishing

System can store up to 10 saved tracks, each containing 2000 trackpoints. The current track

represents your actual path so far.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity controls how much detail is shown on the display.

Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar returns from small baitfish and suspended debris in the

water; however, the display may become too cluttered. When operating in very clear water or greater

depths, increased sensitivity shows weaker returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity

eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water. If

Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish.

To adjust the Sensitivity:

1. Highlight Sensitivity on the Sonar X-Press^TM

menu.

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control

keys to increase or decrease the Sensitivity

setting. (Low = 1, High = 20, Default = 10)

Upper Range

(Advanced: Sonar, Split Sonar and Big Digits Views Only)

Upper Range sets the shallowest depth range that will be displayed on the Sonar, Split Sonar and

Big Digits Views. The Upper Range menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced

(see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode) and can only be accessed from the Sonar, Split Sonar and Big

Digits Views. Upper Range is often used with Lower Range.

For example, if you are only interested in the area between 20 and 50 feet deep, you should

set the Upper Depth Range to 20 and the Lower Depth Range to 50. The Sonar View will

then show the 30 foot area between 20 and 50, and will not show the surface or the

bottom (assuming the bottom is deeper than 50 feet), and will show greater detail for that

area between 20 and 50 feet.

NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range

regardless of the manual settings entered.

To adjust the Upper Range:

1. Make sure you are in Advanced Mode, then highlight Upper Range on the Sonar X-Press^TMmenu.

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Upper Range

setting. (0 to 1490 feet or 0 to 497 meters [International Models Only], Default = 0)

Lower Range

Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be displayed.

Automatic is the default setting. When in automatic mode, the lower range will be adjusted by the unit

to follow the bottom. Selecting a specific setting locks the depth range into Manual mode. Use both

Upper and Lower Range together to view a specific depth range manually when looking for fish or

bottom structure.

will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen when you start

manually adjusting the Lower Range to indicate that you are in Manual mode.

For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in the first

30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower Depth Range limit to

30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range, allowing you to see a more detailed

view than you would see if the display went all the way to the bottom.

NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range

regardless of the manual settings entered.

To adjust the Lower Range:

1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-Press^TMmenu.

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Lower Range

setting. (AUTO, 10 to 1500 feet, 3 to 500 meters [International Models Only], Default = AUTO)

Side Beam Range

(WideSide Transducer: WideSide View Only)

Side Beam Range sets the deepest range that will be displayed in the WideSide View. The range must

be set manually to keep the bottom visible on the display. If the Side Beam Range is set too deep for

current depth conditions the sonar information will become compressed on the display and valuable

detail will be lost. A WideSide transducer must be connected to the Matrix Fishing System. Side Beam

Range menu choice is available when Transducer Select is set to WideSide (see Sonar Menu Tab:

Transducer Select) and can only be accessed from the WideSide view.

Chart Speed

Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar information

moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster speed shows

more information in the Sonar Views and is preferred by most anglers; however, the sonar

information moves across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the display

longer, but the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret.

Regardless of the Chart Speed setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum rate possible

for the depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.

To adjust the Chart Speed:

1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-Press^TMmenu.

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Chart Speed

setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest, Default = 4)

Fish ID+^TM

Fish ID+^TMuses advanced signal processing to interpret sonar

returns, and will display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. When a fish is

detected, a fish icon and its depth are displayed above the return that has been classified as being

a fish. Three different fish size icons represent the intensity of the sonar return, and provide an

indicator of relative fish size.

DualBeam PLUS^TMSonar models represent targets detected in the 200 kHz narrow beam as Orange

Fish Symbols, and represent targets detected in the 83 kHz wide beam as Blue Shaded Fish

Symbols.

200 kHz, Narrow Beam

Orange Fish Symbols

83 kHz, Wide Beam Blue Shaded Fish

Symbols (DualBeam PLUS^TMOnly)

When Fish ID+^TMis turned off, the Matrix Fishing System shows only the raw sonar returns on the

display. These returns will often result in "arches" forming on the display, indicating potential

targets. Due to the transducer beam angle, the distance to a fish decreases as the fish moves into

the beam, and then increases as it moves out again, creating a Fish Arch when this distance change

is shown on the display. Boat speed, chart speed, and the position of the fish within the sonar

beam greatly affect the shape of the arch.

Transducer Cone and Fish Arches

To turn Fish ID+^TMon or off:

1. Highlight Fish ID+ on the Sonar main menu.

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to turn the Fish ID+^TMsetting On or Off.

algorithms. Selecting a higher setting allows weaker returns to be displayed as fish. This is useful for

identifying smaller fish species or baitfish. Selecting a lower setting displays fewer fish from weak

sonar returns. This is helpful when seeking larger species of fish. Fish Sensitivity is used in conjunction

with Fish ID+^TM. Fish ID+^TMmust be On for Fish Sensitivity to affect the ability of the Matrix Fishing

System to identify sonar returns as fish.
