Echo Sounding How it Works ◆ Y our eyes under water An “echo sounder” or “sonar” unit sends high-frequency sound wav es down into the water below a boat. These sounds hit the bottom of the lake or sea and bounce back. The display unit measures the time dela y as the signal goes out and retur ns. The FishFinder uses this info r mation to d[...]

“Out of the box” operation Because of a number of automatic f ea- tures, the FishFinder 465 unit is ready to operate “right out of the bo x. ” This unit in- cludes automatic settings for the most impor tant controls – range, sensitivity , and zoom. Because these settings are automatic, the FishFinder will provide use- ful displays right f[...]

36 Operating Instructions Choosing a Frequency We said that the FishFinder uses sound w av es to “see” through the water under the boat. The “frequency” is a measure of how f ast the sound wa ves change or “vibrate. ” The FishFinder uses sound w av es with two different frequencies – 50 kHz and 200 kHz. Apelco uses these two frequenci[...]

37 Operating Instructions Fish Indications Even using adv anced sonar technology , it is sometimes hard to detect a fish in the water .
