It doesn't sounds given that case that I could be getting air or turbulence beneath the transducer.ĭo you agree that the above test dismisses an air issue? If I am lucky I could see a 1' window of true return between the surface clutter and the true bottom. Under those conditions I still get 3-5' of the topwater being a solid return. I get the same results **** the outboard out of the water and the boat sitting, tied up at a dock in 5' of water **** close to no water current?

That was really my first guess (possibly install related) however everything checks out good for the install.ĭoes the following information dismiss it as being installation related: Try that and turn your gain to the lowest setting and the other thing is that you are getting air under your p-66 either from prop wash, underwater fitting, barnacle in front of it, face is not low enough in relation to the bottom of the boat (installation). Mine will go down to about 3 ft and thats it but much shallower than that and i am bumping bottom !!! Those are all the things I can think of,Good luck- let us know if you figure it out. Somewhere in the furuno literature it will tell you that the unit is not very good in shallow water- not certain on the 600 but on the 582 it has a noise limiter that you can adjust up as was previously said, try that and turn your gain to the lowest setting and the other thing is that you are getting air under your p-66 either from prop wash, underwater fitting, barnacle in front of it, face is not low enough in relation to the bottom of the boat (installation). good luckĪny other suggestions or disputing my 3-5' of clutter at the top of the screen appreciated. This display is useful for comparing the same picture with two different frequencies.Mt0264 here ya go man. The 50 kHz picture appears on the left the 200 kHz picture on the right. For this reason the 200 kHz frequency is ideal for detailed observation of fish schools. The higher the frequency of the ultrasonic signal, the better the resolution. Therefore, the 50 kHz frequency is useful for general detection and judging bottom condition. The lower the frequency of the signal, the wider the detection area. The sounder uses ultrasonic signals to detect bottom conditions. The screen you chose appears soon thereafter. Rotate the MODE knob again to choose the display mode desired. Rotate the MODE knob to open the mode setting window, which is displayed for five seconds.Ģ. (The start up screen appears with the maximum brilliance.) Adjust the brilliance as necessary. Note: When the power is reapplied after turning off the equipment with minimum brilliance, minimum brilliance will be set after the equipment goes through its initial start up.

Press the ENTER key to save the setting and close the window. “0” is the lowest and “9” is the highest.Ĥ. To adjust contrast, after selecting “Contrast" by using S or T, use W or X (only for FCV620). “0” is the dimmest and “9” is the brightest.Īfter selecting “Brill” by using S or T, you may also use W or X to adjust brilliance.ģ. To adjust brilliance, press the /BRILL key.Ĭontinual pressing changes the brilliance continuously (0 →1 →. (The FCV-585 does not have the contrast function.)Ģ.

Press the /BRILL key momentarily to show the contrast/brilliance adjustment window.

When this occurs, press the MENU/ESC key twice to close the menu.ġ.3 Adjusting Display Contrast and Brillianceġ. Note2: The first time you turn on the power (or any time the power is applied after a memory reset), the installation menu appears. However, the equipment may not work properly. Note1: If "ROM/RAM check error!" appears, try to press any key except the /BRILL key to start operation. The time remaining until power is turned off is counted down on the screen. To turn off the power, press the /BRILL key more than three seconds. After the completion of the equipment check, the last-used display appears.Ģ. The unit beeps, the startup screen appears, and then the equipment checks the ROM and RAM for proper operation. Press the /BRILL key to turn on the power. ġ.13Erasing Weak Echoes.ġ.14A-Scope Display.ġ.15Fish Information. Shifting Range.ġ.11Suppressing Interference.
