Side Beam Range
(WideSide® transducer: WideSide® view only)
Side Beam Range sets the deepest range that will be displayed in the WideSide® View. The
range must be set manually to keep the bottom visible on the display. If the Side Beam Range
is set too deep for current depth conditions the sonar information will become compressed on
the display and valuable detail will be lost. A WideSide® transducer must be connected to the
700 Series™ Fishing System. Side Beam Range menu choice is available when Transducer
Select is set to WideSide® (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select) and can only be accessed
from the WideSide® view.
NOTE: The Side Beam Range requires the purchase of the WideSide® transducer. You can visit our
website at www.humminbird.com to order this accessory online or contact our Customer Resource
Center at 1-800-633-1468.
To adjust the Side Beam Range:
1. Make sure you are in WideSide® Transducer Mode and that a WideSide® transducer is
connected, then highlight Side Beam Range on the Sonar X-Press
TM
menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Side Beam
Range setting. (6 - 160 feet, or 2 - 40 meters [International Models only], Default = 160 feet
[40 meters])
Chart Speed
Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar
information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster
speed shows more information in the Sonar Views and is preferred by most anglers; however, the
sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the
display longer, but the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to
interpret. Regardless of the Chart Speed setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum
rate possible for the depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.
T
o adjust the Chart Speed:
1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-Press™ menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Chart Speed
setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest, Default = 5)

Lower Range
Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be
displayed. Automatic is the default setting. When in automatic mode, the lower range will be
adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom. Selecting a specific setting locks the depth range
into Manual mode. Use both Upper and Lower Range together to view a specific depth range
manually when looking for fish or bottom structure. will be displayed in the lower right
corner of the screen when you start manually adjusting the Lower Range to indicate that you
are in Manual mode.
NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range
regardless of the manual settings entered.
To adjust the Lower Range:
1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-Press
TM
menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Lower
Range setting. (AUTO, 10 to 1500 feet, 3 to 500 meters [International Models only],
Default = AUTO)
For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in
the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower Depth
Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range, allowing you
to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display went all the way
to the bottom.
