How Sonar Works

Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The Matrix™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as calibrate digital depth directly below the transducer.
Your Matrix unit sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object.
Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back again in less than ¼ of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can “outrun” this sonar signal.

Dual Beam PLUS™ Sonar

Your Matrix uses a dual frequency 200/83 kHz Dual Beam PLUS™ sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. Dual Beam PLUS™ is optimized to show the greatest bottom definition with a narrow (20°) beam, and the fish and structure location with a wide (60°) beam. Dual Beam PLUS™ is ideal for a wide range of conditions – from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation. All sonar units typically read to deeper depths in fresh water than in salt water. Your Matrix transducer also comes with a temperature sensor included!

How GPS Works

Your Matrix uses GPS (from a separate GPS receiver) and sonar capability to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information. The
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on your GPS receiver. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are avilable in your area.
GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your position is determined by receiving signals from up to 12 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites to determine your present position. Connecting the included GPS Receiver to your Matrix Fishing System allows you to combine easy-to-use FishingGPS™ chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding. You’ll enjoy the power of GPS to help you find those elusive fishing spots and guide you home! The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the Matrix when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:

• iew current position
• View current track (breadcrumb trail)
• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver
• Save tracks, waypoints and routes
• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.

Cartography

Your Matrix supports new seamless Navionics® Gold Chart marine cartography and Navionics® HotMaps™ 2004 Gold for inland fishing, and includes a built-in World map. Land contours and chart details are displayed in various views.
NOTE: Your Matrix does not support Navionics® Classic Charts, only Navionics® Gold Charts and Navionics® HotMaps™2004 Gold Charts.
In addition, if you have a Matrix 65, your unit comes with a more detailed map of North America (Domestic models) or Europe and Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models). ombo View Shaowing Detailed Map
Your Matrix uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information

Multi-Media Card Multi-Media Card (MMC

Your Matrix also has a multi-media card (MMC) slot hat is used to insert optional-purchase cards containing additional detailed maps.If you insert an MMC that contains a  etter chart for a particular location, your Matrix will retrieve that chart and display it automatically.Use the illustration to locate the position of the MMC slot cover, and use a  Phillips head screwdriver to remove the MMC slot cover, then insert the MMC into the slot. The label on the MMC should face toward the front of the unit. Press down on the card until it clicks into place.

Introduction -to Views

When the VIEW key is pressed, the Matrix display cycles through the available views. Any Matrix view can be hidden or displayed as part of the view rotation using Select View from the Advanced Setup Menu. See System Setup Menu – Advanced User Mode for details. Views are divided into two categories: Sonar Views and Navigation
Views.

Sonar views:

• Sonar View
•  Zoom View
• Big Digits View

Navigation views:

•  Combo View
• Chart View
• Bird’s Eye View.

In addition, a GPS Diagnostic View is available for resolving problems with GPS satellite reception. In Normal mode, the GPS Diagnostic View is normally hidden, but can be viewed as an Advanced feature. To make this view visible, go to the Setup Tab, set the User Mode to Advanced, choose Select Views, and change the GPS Diagnostic
View selection to Visible. After this, the GPS Diagnostic View will become part of the view rotation accessed through the VIEW key.

Sonar Views

Sonar View presents a historical log of the stored sonar returns. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display. A Digital Depth Readout is displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom. Depth Range is
automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on screen, although it can be manually-adjusted by theuser as well (see Sonar Settings – X-Press™ Menu).

Up to five additional Digital Readouts display information from optional- purchase accessories such as Water Temperature, Trolling Speed, WeatherSense™ Barometric Pressure and more. These information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired (see Advanced User Mode Select Readouts).

The Sonar Saver feature uses the active on screen cursor to mark the location of underwater structure while it’s visible on the Sonar View.

A Real Time Sonar (RTS®) window appears on the right side of the display. The RTS® Window always updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure and fish that are within the transducer beam. In the RTS® Window, sonar returns are shown in shades of gray. The most intense returns are shown as a solid black band that indicates the bottom. The thickness of the bottom band indicates bottom type. Hard bottoms appear thinner and mostly black; softer bottoms are thicker and may appear with many gray tones. Above the bottom band, less intense sonar returns shown as varying shades of gray indicate the sonar returns from fish or structure. The RTS® Window can be turned on or off (see Sonar Settings – Main Menu Sonar Tab).

As the boat moves, the Matrix unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the  Bottom Contour. The default presentation highlights the bottom profile with a Structure ID® feature and gray tones. From the appearance of the gray tones in the bottom contour, the type of bottom can be determined. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner dark line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line that contains a transition from darker to lighter grays. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance. In shallower water, a Second Sonar Return may appear as a bottom contour below the main bottom at twice the depth.

The second return occurs when the sonar signal bounces between the bottom and the surface of the water and back again. Experienced anglers use the appearance of the second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all. The Matrix unit is capable of revealing layers of water with different temperatures called thermoclines. Thermoclines appear at different depths and different times of the year. A thermocline typically appears as a continuous band of many gray levels moving across the display at the same depth.

Due to the transducer beam angle, the distance to a fish decreases as the fish moves into the beam, and then increases as it moves out again, creating a Fish Arch when this distance change is graphed on the display. Boat speed, chart speed, and the position of the fish within the sonar beam greatly affect the shape of the arch. For optimum fish arching, it is important to mount the transducer so that it is pointing straight down.

The Matrix unit has an advanced Selective Fish ID+™ option that analyzes the sonar return to determine if the sonar return may contain fish (see Sonar Settings – Main Menu Sonar Tab). When a target is detected, a Fish ID+™ symbol appears on the display with the depth associated with it. The size of the symbol indicates the intensity of the sonar return. Targets detected in the narrow beam directly under the boat appear as Shaded Fish Symbols. Targets detected in the wide beam around the boat appear as Hollow Fish Symbols. The Matrix unit will clearly show schools of Bait Fish as “clouds” of different shapes and sizes, depending on the number of fish and boat speed.

Sonar Zoom View increases the display resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom View, the display is split to show a full range view on the right and the zoomed view on the left. As the depth changes, the zoomed view updates automatically to display a magnified image of the bottom. The Zoom Preview Box shows where the zoomed view is in relation to the full range view. The Zoom Level, or magnification, is displayed in the lower left corner and can be changed to suit conditions (see Sonar Settings – X-Press™ Menu). Upper and Lower Zoom Depth Range numbers indicate the depth of the water which is being viewed.

Big Digits View provides digital data in a large, easy-to-see format. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature, speed and Triplog information are displayed if the  appropriate accessory is connected to the system. The Triplog shows distance traveled, average speed, and time elapsed since the Triplog was last reset (see System Settings – Main Menu Setup Tab).

Navigation Views

Combo View – This view is displayed as a split screen, with Chart View on the left and Sonar View on the right side of the screen.
Chart View – This view shows the current track (also known as the position history or breadcrumb trail) showing where the boat has been, along with saved tracks, waypoints, and the current route (when navigating) overlayed on a chart.
View Orientation – Both Chart and Combo views allow you to choose the orientation of the view. When North-Up orientation is selected, True North is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects located to the north of the boat are drawn above the boat. When Course-Up orientation is selected, the direction of motion of the boat is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects ahead of the boat are drawn above the boat. In both orientations, the view pans automatically, so that the boat is always centered on the display. When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle. When the boat is in motion, it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the direction of motion (always Up in the Course-Up orientation).

Bird’s Eye View – This view shows a 3-D, perspective view of the track and the chart’s land contour from a point above and behind the boat (the eye point). As the boat turns, the eye point moves to follow the boat.
When you press the 4-Way Cursor key in the Bird’s Eye View, the position of the eye point will shift. This allows you to move and turn the eye point so that you can look off to the sides, or even behind the boat. Pressing the Right or Left arrow keys on the 4-Way Cursor key turns the eye point right or left, while pressing the Up arrow key moves the eye point forward, and pressing the Down arrow key moves the eye point backward.

Pressing the EXIT key moves the eye point back to its original position.

Both the Chart and Combo Views will show cartography, and the Bird’s Eye View will show land contours from the cartography.

GPS Diagnostic View shows a sky chart and numerical data from the GPS receiver. The sky chart shows the location of each visible GPS satellite with its satellite number and a signal strength bar. A dark grey bar indicates that the satellite is being used to determine your current position. A light gray bar indicates that the satellite is being monitored, but is not yet being used.

This view also reports the current position, local time and date, and other numeric information. The current GPS Fix Type is reported as No Fix, 2D Fix, 3D Fix, or Enhanced. An Enhanced fix has been augmented using information from WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS. A 3D or Enhanced Fix is required for navigation. HDOP (the Horizontal Dilution of Precision) is a GPS system parameter which depends on the current satellite configuration. It is translated into Estimated Position Error, which gives an estimate of how far the reported position can be from your actual location. Depending on current conditions, the reported position is within the Estimated Position Error of your actual location with 68% probability.
In Normal mode, the GPS Diagnostic View is normally hidden, but can be viewed as an Advanced feature. To make this view visible, go to the Setup Tab, set the User Mode to Advanced, choose Select Views, and change the GPS Diagnostic View selection to Visible. After this, the GPS Diagnostic View will become part of the view rotation accessed through the VIEW key. See System Start-Up and Installation Confirmation for more information about how to use this view.

Viewing Cartography

In the Chart or Combo Views, there are several cartography-related functions that you can access using various keys.

Panning – Use the 4-Way Cursor keys to move the chart around on the display in the direction of the key being pressed. When you do this, a bullseye cursor is drawn at the center of the screen and is linked to the boat by a gray line, even if the boat is off the screen. At the same time, the temperature and speed boxes in the lower left corner are replaced with the distance and bearing from the boat to the cursor position and the latitude/longitude coordinates of the cursor.
Zooming – Use the Plus (+) key to Zoom In and the Minus (-) key to Zoom Out showing the cartography at different scales. The scale is indicated on the left side of the display. If you zoom in beyond the available chart data, the display will go into Overzoom mode whereby the last available chart data is amplified to reflect the scale selected.
Chart Info – Use the INFO key to get detailed information about the chart. If the cursor is active, you will see information about the chart objects located near the cursor. If the cursor is not active, the Chart Info menu will appear. You can select the nearest port, the nearest tide station, or the nearest current station to see information about any of these objects.
Nearest Port – The position and services information for the nearest port to your present position will be displayed. Press the EXIT key to remove the information box and the cursor bull’s eye will be centered over the port position. The cursor information boxes at the bottom of the display will indicate the distance and bearing to the port from your present position.
Nearest Tide Station – Tide information for the nearest tide station to your present position will be displayed. This includes the position of the station, the date used for determining the tide information, and the times of the high and low tides for that date. A tide graph is also displayed showing the rise and fall of the tides for the 24 hour time period encompassing the date. You can change the date to look at tide information before or after the date displayed by pressing the LEFT or RIGHT cursor key respectively. Press the EXIT key to remove the information box and the cursor bull’s eye will be centered over the tide station position. The cursor information boxes at the bottom of the display will indicate the distance and bearing to the tide station from your present position.
Nearest Current Station – Current information for the nearest current station to your present position will be displayed. This includes the position of the station, the date used for determining the current information, and the current changes. Two graphs are also presented that show the time, direction and flow speed of the current changes for the 24 hour time period emcompassing the date. You can change the date to look at current information before or after the date displayed by pressing the LEFT or RIGHT cursor key respectively. Press the EXIT key to remove the information box and the cursor bull’s eye will be centered over the current station position. The cursor information boxes at the bottom of the display will indicate the distance and bearing to the current station from your present position.
To display information about any of chart object icons, use the 4-Way Cursor key to place the bullseye over the icon, then press the INFO key. Use the UP and DOWN Cursor keys to scroll through the information displayed for the object.

Pressing the EXIT key removes the cursor from the screen.

Waypoints, Routes and Tracks

Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your Matrix can store up to 750 waypoints.
Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together via menus or select them on-screen to create a route. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination. Your Matrix can store up to 20 routes that can each contain up to 20 waypoints.
Tracks consist of detailed position history, and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up. You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your Matrix can store up to 10 saved tracks, each containing 700 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual path so far.

Introduction to Menus

The menu system has levels of display which streamline the rich functionality of the Matrix into easy-to-use modules which can be customized to suit your preferences.
The main components of the menu system are:

• X-Press™ Menus – Allows you to access the settings that you change frequently without having to navigate through the whole menu system. Only the X-Press™ menu items associated with the current view are displayed. Either the Sonar or Navigation X-Press™ Menu will appear, depending on the view you are in. Press the MENU key twice for the Main Menu System. Press the MENU key once to display the X-Press™ Menu.
• Main Menu Tabs – Less frequently-adjusted menus are grouped into the Main Menu System. The Main Menu system is organized under the following tab headings to help you find a specific menu item quickly: Alarms, Sonar, Navigation (if the GPS Receiver is attached), Setup, and Accessories. Press the MENU key twice for the Main Menu, then use the 4-Way Cursor LEFT or RIGHT key first to select a tab, then use the DOWN or UP key to select a specific menu item.
• User Mode (Normal or Advanced) – The Matrix menu system default to Normal user mode, but you can also change the mode to Advanced to view additional menu choices under most menu tabs. See Advanced User Mode for more information.
• Expandability – The menu system is expandable; when you attach a supported accessory to the Matrix system, the Matrix menus may change to display new choices for those accessories that require menu access.

Advanced User Mode

Present menu modes are available to suit your personal Angler Profile – whether you’re a Normal User or Advanced User. These Angler Profile Presets™ provide an Advanced Mode for users who desire the highest level of control over the product, and Normal Mode for users who desire the greatest simplicity and fewest choices. Choose the Setup Tab from the Main Menu system, choose User Mode, then change the mode to Advanced to access advanced features. A range of additional options will be displayed in the menu system. Any changes made while in Advanced Mode will remain in effect if the unit is returned to Normal Mode. For example, if you set specific views to be visible while in Advanced User Mode, and then return to Normal User Mode, those views will still be visible.

Soner X-Press™ Menu

The Sonar X-Press™ menu represents the settings most frequently-used to optimize the sonar performance of the Matrix unit. Press the MENU key once while in any of the
Sonar Views to access the following Sonar X-Press™ menu items quickly when in Normal Mode:

Sensitivity provides advanced control over the sonar receiver. The Matrix unit optimizes Sensitivity based on depth and water conditions automatically; however, you also may change it manually to match your preferences or water conditions. Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar returns from small bait fish and suspended debris in the water; however, the display may become too cluttered in some water conditions. When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity shows fainter returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish.
Beam Select selects the sonar beam used in the Sonar Views. When 200 kHz is selected, the sonar returns and Fish ID+™ from the 200 kHz beam are displayed providing greater bottom detail (typically from 2 feet to 800 feet) at any boat speed. Using 83 kHz, the sonar returns and Fish ID+™ from the 83 kHz beam are displayed, providing greater depth capability and showing more targets in its wider beam. The 83 kHz beam is not recommended for use when the boat is traveling at greater than trolling speeds. When 200/83kHz is selected, the unit blends the sonar information from both beams together on the display to provide the best sonar image and Fish ID+™.
Lower Range adjusts the lower depth range to a specific depth for the Sonar and Big Digits Views. Automatic is the default setting. Selecting a specific setting locks the depth range into manual mode. Advanced anglers use both Upper and Lower Range together to view a specific depth range manually when looking for fish or bottom structure. The Upper Range menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Advanced User Mode).M will be displayed when you start manually adjusting the Lower Range to indicate that you’re in Manual mode.
Chart Speed determines the speed at which the bottom information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster speed shows more information in the Sonar View and is preferred by most anglers; however, the bottom moves across the display quickly. The highest setting is an ultrafast mode that provides the highest chart speed possible by slowing down other system functions. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish detail becomes 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.
Zoom Level sets the magnification level for the Sonar Zoom View.

Sonar X-Press™ Menu – Advanced

Press the MENU key once while in any of the Sonar Views to access the following Sonar X-Press™ menu settings quickly when in Advanced Mode:
Upper Range adjusts the Upper Depth Range to a specific depth for the Sonar and Big Digits Views. (0 to 1190 feet, Default = 0)
83 kHz Sensitivity adjusts the sensitivity applied to the 83kHz beam to be higher or lower than the overall sensitivity settting. (-10 to +10, Default = 0)

Sonar Menu Tab

Press the MENU key twice to access the Main Menu System and then press the RIGHT Cursor key to select the Sonar tab, which contains the following menu choices when you are in Normal User Mode:

Fish ID+™ uses advanced signal processing to interpret sonar returns and display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. A number above the fish icon indicates the depth of the fish. Three different fish size icons show the intensity of the sonar return, and provide an indicator of relative fish size. When Fish ID+™ is turned off, the Matrix shows only the unprocessed sonar returns on the display. These returns will often result in “arches” forming on the display, indicating potential targets.

Fish Sensitivity adjusts the thresholds of the fish detection algorithms, thus enhancing your unit’s ability to identify sonar returns as fish icons. Selecting a higher setting allows fainter returns to be displayed as fish icons and will increase the number of fish icons that appear on the display. This is useful for identifying smaller fish species or baitfish. Selecting a lower setting displays fewer fish icons from faint sonar returns. This is helpful when seeking larger species of fish.
Bottom View selects the method to display bottom and structure on the display.
Structure ID® presents the graphical representation of the bottom and structure sonar returns using only grayscale to indicate the signal strength. WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns from the bottom to make a distinctive outline of the bottom contour, structure and fish. Bottom Black displays all pixels below the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal strength.

RTS® Window turns the RTS® window on or off in the Sonar View.

Sonar Menu Tab – Advanced Mode

Press the MENU key twice to access the Main Menu System and then press the RIGHT Cursor key to select the Sonar tab, which contains the following additional menu choices when you are in Advanced User Mode:
Surface Clutter adjusts the filter that removes surface clutter noise caused by algae and aeration. The lower the setting, the less surface clutter will be displayed.
(Low = 1, High = 10, Default = Low)
Noise Filter adjusts the sonar Noise Filter to limit interference from sources such as your boat engine, turbulence, or other sonar devices for best display performance.
(Off, Low, Medium, High, Default = Low)

NOTE:
The Off setting removes all filtering; Low, Medium and High settings add progressive filtering of the sonar returns. In some deep water situations, the High setting may actually hinder your unit’s ability to find the bottom.

Water Type configures unit for type of water conditions. (Salt, Fresh, Default = Fresh)
NOTE:
In salt water, what would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large fish in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water setting allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this. Also, make sure that the Water Type is set accurately, especially in salt water, as this can  affect the accuracy of deep water depth readings.

Max Depth adjusts the maximum depth of unit operation. (Auto, 10 to 1200 feet, Default = Auto)
NOTE:
The performance of your unit can be tuned to the maximum depth you will be fishing in by setting this menu choice. When a maximum depth is set, the unit will not attempt to acquire sonar data below that depth, thus increasing overall performance. When the Max Depth is set to Auto, the unit will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capacity of the unit).

Navigation X-Prees™ Menu

The Navigation X-Press™ menu represents the settings most frequently-used to optimize the navigation performance of the Matrix unit. Press the MENU key while in any of the navigation views to access the following Navigation X-Press™ Menu items displayed when you are in Normal User Mode.
