1 Introduction
About the FishFinder L265
The FishFinder L265 is a system that uses sound waves ("sonar") to detect fish and show the bottom of a lake or sea. The system includes a transducer and a display unit, connected by a cable. These sounds strike fish, the bottom, or other objects in the water, and return as echoes. [. . . ] The vertical line at the right edge of this display shows the area or "window" of the water being enlarged. When the FishFinder is set for auto zoom, it will choose the zoom area automatically. The unit always chooses an area of the water which includes the bottom. The unit then moves this area up or down to keep the bottom in the picture. (See Section 4. ) Once you are back to the zoom display, you can move the zoom area up or down (using the and arrows on the Page control pad) to enlarge any selected "window. " To move to the next display, press the > arrow on the Page control pad. <

A-Scope Page
On the FishFinder display the bottom graph is "drawn" after the FishFinder receives several echoes. The A-scope displays raw sonar data directly from the transducer beam. This gives you a "real time" image of fish and bottom structure directly below the transducer. This function is very useful in showing the strength of the echo returned from a fish. Stronger fish echoes on the A-scope display will appear wider; weaker echoes appear as narrow bands closer to the horizontal center of the A-scope image.

The left section of the A-Scope display shows a section of the normal FishFinder display. A-Scope image This shows the beam of sound waves extending down from the boat, and spreading as it moves through the water. Any fish or objects which are positioned under the boat will appear on the display. This is a "real time" display, so you can see the fish symbols moving as the fish swim under the boat. Bottom coverage This shows the diameter of the beam of sound waves where it meets the bottom. This dimension will be shown using the same units as the rest of the display feet (FT), fathoms (FA), or meters (M). If the unit is set at 200kHz single frequency, the bottom coverage display will reflect the narrow (16°) beam of the 200kHz frequency setting. All other frequency selections (200kHz dual, 50kHz dual, and 50kHz single) use the wider (65°) beam for the bottom coverage display.
