7.10 How to Balance Echo Strength
Depending on local ultrasound characteristics, the reflection from a school of fish in
deep water may appear in weaker colors than that from a school in shallow water even
though their strengths are equal. To show the schools of fish in equal strengths (col-
ors), use the TVG. The TVG can be adjusted according to water depth*, TVG level so
that echoes of the same strength at different depths are shown in the same colors.
* DFF-3D only.
In the illustration shown below, for example, the TVG is set for 300 ft and the TVG
level is adjusted.
Note: This function is not available in the auto mode.
1. Open the home screen, then tap [Settings] - [Sounder].
2. Drag the slider in [TVG HF] (high frequency) or [TVG LF] (low frequency) to set
the level. The menu item on the DFF-3D is "[TVG]". The TVG setting method
changes with the fish finder connected.
3. For DFF-3D, tap [TVG Distance], and the software keyboard appears. Set the ef-
fective TVG distance desired, then tap [].
4. Tap the close button to finish.
