1.10 How to Adjust the Range
The RANGE knob adjusts the range for echo detection and display on all display
modes. There are 15 preset ranges, for Horizontal, Vertical and Echo Sounder modes,
which can be changed to suit your needs.
The default preset range is the same for all modes, as shown in the table below.
CH-500
CH-600
To increase the range, turn the RANGE knob clockwise.
To decrease the range, turn the RANGE knob counter-clockwise.
When the range is changed, the selected range is displayed at the top-center of the
screen for a few seconds. The indication at the top-right of the screen always shows
the currently selected range.
For normal use, the range should be set so that the seabed echo is at the bottom of
the screen.
