‘Key and Alarm’ (sounds for key presses and alarms/messages).
• Language — select from various languages for the unit’s on-screen display.
• Simulator — lets you simulate unit operation using a Depth Only, Temp Only, or Temp/Speed
transducer. While in Simulator mode, a ‘Running Simulator’ message will appear after 2 minutes
of inactivity. Choose ‘No’ to the retail demonstration mode for normal consumer simulator use if
prompted. If the unit does not detect a transducer, it will automatically enter Simulator Mode.

odometer fi eld back to zero.
Units Tab
Defi nes units of measure. The following settings are available:
• Depth — lets you select the desired units of measure for depth in Feet (ft), Fathoms (fa), or Meters
(m).
• Temperature — lets you select the desired units of measure for temperature in Fahrenheit (°F) or
Celsius (°C).
• Distance and Speed — lets you select the desired units of measure for distance and speed readouts
in ‘Nautical’ (nm/ft, kt), ‘Nautical’ (nm/m, kt), ‘Statute’ (mi, mh) or ‘Metric’ (km, kh) terms.
• Position Format — changes the coordinate system in which a position reading is displayed.
The default format is latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes, and thousandths of a minute
(hddd°mm.mmm’). The following additional formats are available: Latitude/longitude in decimal
degrees (hddd.ddddd°) and Latitude/longitude in degrees, minutes, and seconds (hddd°mm’ss.s”).
