or not at all. To eliminateor minimize the effects of electrical noise, first tryto determinethe cause. Withthe boat at rest in the water, the first thing you should do is turn all electrical equipmenton the boat off. Makecertain the engineis off, also. Turn yourMagnaon, then turn off ASP (Advanced Signal Processing). There should be a steadybottom signal on the display. Nowturn on each piece of electrical equipment on the boatand viewthe effecton the sonar'sdisplay. Forexample, turn onthebilgepumpandviewthesonardisplayfornoise.If no noiseis present, turn the pumpoff, then turn on the VHFradioandtransmit. Keepdoingthis until all electrical equipment has been turned on, their effect on the sonar display noted, then turned off. from an electrical instrument, trolling motor, pump, If youfind noiseinterference or radio, try to isolate the problem. You can usually re-route the sonar unit's power cable and transducer cable away from the wiring that is causing the interference. VHF radio antennacables radiate noise whentransmitting, so be certain to keepthesonar'swires awayfrom it. Youmay needto route the sonar unit'spowercabledirectlytothe battery to isolateitfromotherwiringon the boat.

When no noise appearson the sonarunit afterall of the abovetests, then the noise source is probably cavitation. Many novices or persons with limited experience make hasty sonar installations which functionperfectlyin shallow water, orwhenthe boat is at rest. In nearlyallcases, thecause ofthe malfunction will be the locationand/or angle of the transducer. The face of the transducer must be placedin a location that has a smooth flow of water at all boat speeds. Readyourtransducerowners manual forthe best mounting position.

SURVEYING A LAKE

The Magnaworks from a 12 volt DC systemonly. For thebest results, run thepowercable directlyto theboat's battery. Keep the power cable awayfrom other boat wiring, especially the engine's wires. This will givethe best isolation from electrical noise. If the supplied cable is not long enough to reach the battery, splice#18 gauge insulated wire to it. You can attach the powercableto an accessoryor power buss, however, you may have problemswith electrical interference. See page 26 for more information on electrical noise.
The mostsuccessful anglers on any body of water are thosewho fish it day afterday and year after year. Eventually, they learn the hot spots that produce fish consistently. They discoverthrough experiencewhere, and at what depth,they can expect to find the fish they want at any season. And they realizethat these productive areas change throughoutthe year depending on water level, temperature, food, and other factors. With the Magna, anyone can eliminate guesswork and concentrate on the areas where fish are likely to be. Even if it's the first timeon the

Thetemperature of water in the lake is seldom constantfrom top to bottom. Layers of differenttemperatures form, and the junction of a warm and cool layerof water is called a thermocline. The depth and thickness of the thermoclinecan vary with the season or time of day. In deep lakes there maybe twoor more at differentdepths. Thermoclines are important to fishermen because they are areas where fish are active. Manytimes baitfish will be abovethe thermocline while largergame fish will suspend in or just below it. The Magna can detectthis invisible layer in thewater, but the sensitivity will probablyhaveto be turned up to see it.
If the base of the transom has a radius, fill the gap between the transomand the sensor with caulking compound. This will help insure a smooth waterflow. Routethe sensor cableto the in-lineconnectoron the Magna Plus' power cable. The speed/temp sensor is now ready for use. 3

Very small fish probably will not arch at all. Medium sized fish will show a partialarch, or a shapesimilarto an arch if they're in deep water. Largefish will arch, but turn the sensitivity up in deeper water to seethe arch. Because of water conditions, such as heavy surface clutter, thermoclines, etc., the sensitivity sometimes cannot be increasedenough to getfish arches. One of thebest ways to getfish arches is to expand or "zoom" a segmentof the water. For example, from 45 to 60 feet. The smaller the segment, the betterthe screen resolution will be. The easiest way to do this on the Magna is with theZoom feature. This feature expands the echoes, making it easierto see detail. Forthe best results, turn the sensitivity up as high as possible withoutgetting too much noise on the screen. In mediumto deep water, this method shouldwork to displayfish arches.

WATER TEMPERATURE AND THERMOCLINES Water temperature has an important-if not controlling-influence upon the activities of all fish. Fish are cold blooded and their bodies are always the temperature of the surrounding water. During the winter, colderwater slows down their metabolism. At this time, they need about a fourth as much food as they consume in the summer. Most fish don't spawn unless thewater temperature is within rather narrow limits. The surface temperature meter built intothe Magna Plus helps identify the desired surface water spawning temperatures for variousspecies. Trout can't survivein streamsthat get toowarm. Bass and other fish eventuallydie out when stockedin lakes that remaintoo cold duringthe summer. While somefish have a wider temperature tolerance than others, each has a certain range within which it tries to stay. Schooling fish suspended over deep water lie at the level that provides this temperature. We assume they are the mostcomfortablehere.

FISH ARCHES Fish arches are created when the cone of sound passesover a fish. The distanceto a fish when thecone first strikes it is shown as "A" below. When the center of the cone strikes the fish, the distance is shorter as shown "B". As the cone leaves the fish, the distance increases again as shown in "C".
DISPLAY- General The lightsflash for about ten secondswhen theMagna is turned on. Three menus appear, one after the other. The menus are the lights (LAMP), feet-meter selection (FEET/METER), and contrast adjustment (DARK/LIGHT). To turn the lights on, press the up arrow key. To switch fromfeet to meters, press the down arrow key when theproper menu appears. To adjust the contrast, wait forthe DARK/LIGHT menu to appear. Now press the up arrow key to darken the screen, the down arrow to lighten it. The menus disappearafter a few seconds. If you don't want to wait, pressthe ON/CLEAR key to clearthe menus from the screen. Whenthe Magna is first turned on, thedisplay appears similar to the one below. The unit is in the automatic mode and the Fish ID feature is on. The depth range displays on the left side of thescreen. In this example, the range is from 0 to 60 feet.

C MENUS

When the Fish l.D. mode is off, the depth of the waterwill affect the size and shapeof the fish arch due to the cone angle diameter. For example, if the cone passesover a fish in shallow water, the signal displayed on the Magna may not arch at all. This is due to the narrow cone diameterand the resolution limitations of the display.
The Magnaand Magna Plus use menus to guide youthroughthe unit's functions and features. The menu key accesses these features, allowing you to customize the unitto your particularneeds and water conditions. All you haveto do to leaveone menu and enter another is press the menu key repeatedly. If you ever get lost in the menus, simplypressthe ON/CLEAR key. Thisclears the menus from the

Menus changedependingon the mode the unit is in. For example, if the automatic mode isturned off, thesensitivity menu changes from "AUTO SENS"to "MAN SENS." Other messages may appearin menu boxes or new menus can appear, again depending on previous selections.

Both 8 degree and 20 degree transducers give accurate bottom readings, even though the bottom signal is muchwider on the20 degree model. This is because you are seeing more of the bottom. Remember, the shallowedge of the signal shows you the true depth. The rest of the signal tells you whetheryou are over rocks, mud, etc. SIGNAL INTERPRETATION Your Magna gives an accuratepicture of the bottom that your boat is passing. A bottom of firm sand, gravel, shell, or hard clay returns a fairly wide signal. If the automatic mode is off and the signal narrows down, then it means that you have moved over a mud bottom. Mud absorbs the soundwave and returns a weak signal. Turn up the sensitivity to see a better bottom signal.
Big rocks or stumps on a smooth bottom send back signals above the bottom level signal. The height of thesignal depends on thetarget's height. As you pass over a post, it should be clearly visibleas a short line extending above the bottom signal.
OPERATION AUTOMATIC When the Magna is first turnedon, the automatic feature is enabled. This feature automatically adjusts the unit's range and sensitivity according to waterconditions. It always keepsthe bottom depth displayed in the lower portion of the screen.
To turn theautomaticfeature off, pressthe menu key until the AUTO/MAN menu appears. Now pressthe down arrow key. This highlightsthe letters "MAN." The unit is now in the manual mode. Wait a few secondsand the menu will scroll offthe screen's left side. Pressing the ON/CLEAR key also clears it. To turn the automatic featureon again, repeatthe above steps, except this time press theup arrow key.
A steep slope returns a wide signal, thesteeperthe wider. Signals returned from a high underwater cliff are usually the widestof all.

The soundwaves from the transducer spread out intothe water in a cone shaped beam. This looks much likethe beam from a flashlight. The anglebetweentheoutside edges of the cone is the cone angle.
Eagle offers a choiceof transducers with either an 8 or 20 degree cone angle. The transducer supplied with the Magna has a 20 degree cone angle. Typically, wide cone angle transducers (20 degrees) are ideal for operating in shallowto mediumwater depths. The 20 degree cone angle allows you to see more ofthe underwater world. In 15 feet of waterthe 20 degreecone covers an area about six feet across. The 8 degree transducer covers only about a two foot circle.
The zoom feature enlargesall echoeson thescreen. If the unit is in the automatic mode, it tracks thebottom signal, always keeping it near thebottom of the screen. This lets you see smalldetail, at thesame time enlarging all echoes that appearon the screen. The unit doesn't track the bottom in the manual mode, and the adjustments are slightly

different.

The 20 degreetransducer is almost always the best to use in fresh water, the 8 degree mostly in salt water. In a deep water environment, (300 feet - fresh water, 100 feet - salt water)the narrowcone angle is moredesirable. Since the sound energy is concentrated in a smaller area, it can penetrateto much deeper depths.

The sensitivity menu lets you control the unit's abilityto pick up echoes. A low sensitivity level excludes much of thebottom information, fish signals, and other detail. High sensitivity settingslets you see features, but it can also clutterthe screen with noise and other unwanted signals. Typically, the bestsensitivity level shows a good, solid bottom signal with grayline. The Magna adiuststhesensitivity level to keep a solid bottom signal on thescreen. It adds a little extra when it's in the automatic mode. This gives it the capability to showfish and other detail. However, situationsoccur whereit becomes necessary to increase or decrease thesensitivity level. Typically,this occurswhen you wish to see more detail, so you need to increase the sensitivity. The procedure to adjust it is thesamewhetherthe unit is in the automatic or manual mode.

FEET/METER

The Magnaand Magna Plus can show the depth in feet or meters. The Magna Plus can also showtemperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius,speed in statute miles per hour or knots, and distance (log) in statute miles or nautical miles. When either unit is in the metric mode, all depth
readings, ranges, zooms, and alarm settingsare in meters. When a unit is in the feet mode, all ofthe abovesettings are in feet.

DISPLAYCONTRAST The unit'sdisplaycontrastis adjustable to suit differentlighting conditions. Thiswill help you see the screen from differentangles, or at varioustimes of theday.

GRAYLINE

Grayline lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It "paints" gray on targetsthat are strongerthan a preset level. This shows the differencebetweena hardor soft bottom, large fish versus smallerones, or rocks and brush on the bottom. For example, a soft, muddy, or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which shows a

narrowor no gray line. A hard bottom returns a strong signal that causes a wide gray line. If you havetwotargets of equalsize, one with gray and the other without,the targetwith gray is thestrongerecho. This helps distinguish fish from structure, or the larger fish from a smallerone. Graylineis adjustable. Since it showsthe difference between strong and weak echoes, changing the level may require a different sensitivity

setting.

DEPTH ALARMS
The depth alarms are triggered only by the bottom signal. No other echoes will activatethesealarms. The depth alarms consistof a shallowand deep alarm. Theshallowalarm sounds an alarm tone when the bottom goes shallowerthan thealarm'sselling. The deep alarm soundsa tone when the bottom goesdeeperthan it's setting. Both alarms adjust thesame, althoughthroughdifferentmenus.

The Fish ID feature identifies targetsthat meet certain conditions as fish. The micro-computer analyses all echoes and eliminates surface clutter, thermoclines, and other undesirable signals. In most instances, remaining targets are fish. The Fish ID feature displays symbols on the screen in placeof the actual fish echoes. Thereare four symbolsizes: tiny, small, medium,and large. These show the relative size between targets. In other words, it displaysa small fish symbolwhen it thinks a target is a small fish, a mediumfish symbolon. a largertarget, etc. The micro-computer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled.

MAGNA III GIMBAL BRACKET RUBBER WASHER PLASTIC WASHER (PORTABLE UNITS ONLY)

GIMBAL KNOB

Attach the Magna III to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal knobs and washers as shown above.
POWER CONNECTIONS The Magna III works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results, run the power cable directly to the boats battery. Keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engines wires. This will give the best isolation from electrical noise. If the supplied cable is not long enough to reach the battery, splice #18 gauge insulated wire to it. If you do extend the power cable, make certain to attach the in-line fuse holder supplied with the Magna III to the battery or power source. This will protect both the unit and the power cable in the event of a short. Use only a 3-amp fuse. You can also attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however, you may have problems with electrical interference. These units have reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the wires are attached correctly.

SPEED/TEMPERATURE SENSOR INSTALLATION (Magna III Plus Only) Mount the speed/temp sensor on the boats transom in a location where the flow of water is the smoothest. There should be a minimum of turbulence and air bubbles in the chosen location. The port (left) side of the transom is preferred, however, the starboard (right) side can be used if necessary. Do not mount the speed sensor behind strakes, ribs, or thru-hull fittings. These will disturb the flow of water to the speed sensor. In a typical installation, the speed sensor is mounted six to twelve inches from the centerline of the hull. The sensor must always be in the water to function properly. Make certain the chosen location is in the water even at high speed or when the boat is on plane. Once you determine the proper location, place the sensor on the transom. Make certain the sensors bottom is flush with the bottom of the hull. Mark the transom in four places, two in each slot. Drill a 5/32" mounting hole at each location. Mount the sensor to the hull with four #10 stainless steel screws. Use a good grade of caulking compound to seal the screws. Adjust the sensor so it is flush with the bottom of the hull and tighten the screws. If the base of the transom has a radius, fill the gap between the transom and the sensor with caulking compound. This will help ensure a smooth water flow. Route the sensor cable to the in-line connector on the Magna Plus power cable. The speed/temp sensor is now ready for use.

MAGNA III PORTABLE ASSEMBLY INSTALLING THE BATTERIES Release the latch on the front of the battery case. Open the compartment and install four "D" cell batteries into the adapter. For the longest life, we recommend you use alkaline batteries. This battery case will also hold one rechargable battery instead of the "D" cells. See the enclosed coupon for more information on the rechargable battery.
"D" CELL BATTERY
After installing the batteries, close the case and plug the power cable on the battery case into the Magna III Portable. Plug the adapter cable into the back of the sonar unit. Turn the sonar unit on. If it doesn't work, make certain the battery terminals are making good contact against the battery contacts. Also check the wiring connections on the D-cell battery adapter. The red wire on the power cable should be attached to the red wire on the D-cell battery adapter and the power cable's black wire should be connected to the black wire on the D-cell battery adapter. If it still doesn't work,
check the battery voltage. Most of the complaints we receive about portable units result from stale batteries. Make certain the ones you buy are fresh. Always remove batteries from the battery compartment before storing the unit as dead batteries can leak and corrode the contacts. In cold weather the efficiency of dry cell batteries drops with the temperature. We find it a good idea to have the Magna III Portable good and warm along with the batteries before we leave home. If the batteries do lose a charge, you can sometimes restore them by placing them in a warm room or car interior. A better way is to replace them with batteries that have been kept warm. Don't ever heat the batteries over an open flame or direct hot air onto them. A fire or explosion could result.
PORTABLE TRANSDUCER ASSEMBLY Assemble the transducer and bracket as shown below. Attach the transducer to the bracket with the supplied hardware. Make certain there is one washer on each side of the transducer, inside the bracket. Slide the other washer over the end of the bolt and thread the nut onto it. Screw the suction cup onto the bracket using the supplied screw and flat washer. Tie the nylon cord through the hole in the top of the bracket. When using this transducer, tie the other end of the nylon cord to the boat. This will help prevent the loss of the transducer if it comes off the boat.

BOLT WASHER

WASHER
Clean the chosen area of the hull before attaching the suction cup. Locate the transducer on the hull as shown below. Don't allow the bracket to go below the hull, as water pressure against it can cause the suction cup to come off at speed. Moisten the cup, then press it onto the hull as firmly as possible. Tie the nylon cord to the boat and route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. Plug the transducer connector into the "Y" power cable on the Magna III. Your portable sonar is now ready for use.
PERMANENT MOUNT TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION The HS-WSBK supplied with your Magna III is a transom mount transducer. It can be installed on any outboard or stern-drive (inboard\outboard) powered boat. It can also be permanently installed inside the boat to "shoot-through" the hull on some fiberglass boats. The kick-up mounting bracket helps prevent damage if the transducer strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the transducer does kickup, the bracket can easily be pushed back in place without tools. Read the enclosed transducer installation manual carefully before attempting the installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Use extreme care if mounting the transducer inside the hull, since once it is epoxied into position, the transducer usually cannot be removed. Remember, the transducer location is the most critical part of a sonar installation. If it isnt done properly, the sonar cant perform at its designed potential.
KEYBOARD BASICS The unit sounds a tone when you press any key. This tells you the unit has accepted a command. ON/CLEAR Use this key to turn the unit on. It also clears menu selections and the menus from the screen. OFF This key turns the unit off. MENU The Magna III and Magna III Plus have many features that are accessed with this key. To see the first menu, press the MENU key. To see the other menus, press the MENU key repeatedly. UP and DOWN ARROWS Use these keys to adjust virtually every feature and function on the unit. NOTE: The up arrow key also stops the chart when no menus are displayed. In other words, anytime you wish to stop the chart, first make certain no menu is on the screen. Now press the up arrow key. The chart freezes and the word STOP appears at the top of the screen. To start the chart, press the up arrow key again. DISPLAY - General The lights flash for about ten seconds when the Magna III is turned on. Three menus appear, one after the other. The menus are the lights (LAMP), feet-meter selection (FEET/METER), and contrast adjustment (DARK/LIGHT). To turn the lights on, press the up arrow key. To switch from feet to meters, press the down arrow key when the proper menu appears. To adjust the contrast, wait for the DARK/LIGHT menu to appear. Now press the up arrow key to darken the screen, the down arrow to lighten it. The menus disappear after a few seconds. If you dont want to wait, press the ON/CLEAR key to clear the menus from the screen. When the Magna III is first turned on, the display appears similar to the one at right. The unit is in the automatic mode and the Fish

GRAYLINE Grayline lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It paints gray on targets that are stronger than a preset level. This shows the difference between a hard or soft bottom, large fish versus smaller ones, or rocks and brush on the bottom. For example, a soft, muddy, or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which shows a narrow or no gray line. A hard bottom returns a strong signal that causes a wide gray line. If you have two targets of equal size, one with gray and the other without, the target with gray is the stronger echo. This helps distinguish fish from structure, or the larger fish from a smaller one.
Grayline is adjustable. Since it shows the difference between strong and weak echoes, changing the level may require a different sensitivity setting. To change the Grayline level, first press the MENU key until the Grayline menu appears. Now press the up arrow key to increase the level, the down arrow to decrease it. The percentage of Grayline now in use shows in this menu. Echoes scrolling onto the screen will also show the effects of the Grayline change. If you reach the maximum or minimum level, a tone sounds alerting you to the limits. The level chosen by the Magna III when its first turned on is usually adequate for most conditions. Experiment with your unit to find the Grayline setting thats best. FISH ID FEATURE The Fish ID feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as fish. The microcomputer analyses all echoes and eliminates surface clutter, thermoclines, and other undesirable signals. In most instances, remaining targets are fish. The Fish ID feature displays symbols on the screen in place of the actual fish echoes. There are four symbol sizes: tiny, small, medium, and large. These show the relative size between targets. In other words, it displays a small fish symbol when it thinks a target is a small fish, a medium fish symbol on a larger target, etc. The microcomputer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled. It can't distinguish between fish and other suspended objects such as turtles, submerged floats, air bubbles, etc. Individual tree limbs extending outwards from a group of limbs are the hardest objects for the Fish ID feature to distinguish from fish. You may see Fish ID symbols on the screen when, in fact, there are no fish. Practice with the unit when the Fish ID feature is on and off to become more familiar with Fish ID. When the Magna III is first turned on, the Fish ID feature is automatically turned on, also. To turn this feature off, press the menu key until the Fish ID features menu appears as shown at right. Now press the down arrow key. This turns the feature off. To turn it back on, repeat the above steps, but press the up arrow key instead.
The Fish ID feature cant be used when the Magna III is in the manual mode. If you turn the automatic feature off, the Fish ID feature will automatically be turned off, also. FISH TRACK The Magna III automatically displays the depth of a target when the Fish ID feature places a fish symbol on the screen as shown below. This feature is automatically enabled when the Magna III is turned on. To turn it off or on again, press the MENU key repeatedly until the Fish Track menu appears as shown below. Now press the down arrow key to turn it off. Remember, Fish ID must be on in order to use the Fish Track feature.

CHART SPEED The rate echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed. Its adjustable by pressing the menu key until the chart speed menu appears. Chart speed is set to maximum when the Magna III is first turned on. To decrease it, press the down arrow key. Press the up arrow key to increase the speed again. The percent numbers in the Chart Speed menu box shows the speed. Echoes scrolling onto the screen will also show the effects of the change. If you reach the maximum or minimum level, an warning tone sounds. To stop the chart, first clear any menu from the screen by pressing the ON/CLEAR key. You cant stop the chart while a menu is displayed. Now press the up arrow key. The chart will freeze and the word STOP appears at the top right portion of the screen. To start the chart, press the up arrow key again.
DISPLAY MODE The Magna III has three different screen modes. The Magna III Plus has six. To change modes, press the MENU key until the DISP MODE (Display Mode) menu appears. Then press the up or down arrow keys until the desired mode number appears. The modes are as follows:
MAGNA III ONLY CHT 1 (Chart #1) This is the default mode used when the Magna III is first turned on. It has the following features: 1. Automatic On 2. Fish ID Feature On 3. Digital Depth Display On
CHT 2 (Chart #2) This is the High Speed Scroll mode. It shifts the chart speed into high gear, scrolling echoes at a high rate. It has the following features: 1. Automatic Off 2. Fish ID Feature Off 3. Digital Depth Display Off
DIG 1 (Digital #1) This is the digital only screen. It shows the digital depth display at the top of the screen in very large numbers. The shallow and deep alarm settings are displayed beneath the digital depth. No chart shows on this screen.
DISPLAY MODE - MAGNA III PLUS ONLY CHT 1 (Chart #1) This is the default mode used when the Magna III Plus is first turned on. It has the following features: 1. Automatic On 2. Fish ID Feature On 3. Digital Depth Display On
CHT 2 (Chart #2) Same as Chart #1 plus digital surface water temperature display.
CHT 3 (Chart #3) Same as Chart #1 plus digital speed display.
CHT 4 (Chart #4) This is the High Speed Scroll mode. It has the following features: 1. Automatic Off 2. Fish ID Feature Off 3. All Digital Displays Off
DIG 1 (Digital #1) This is the first digital only screen. It shows the digital depth display at the top of the screen in very large numbers. The shallow and deep alarm settings are displayed beneath the digital depth. No chart shows on this screen.

DIG 2 (Digital #2) The digital depth display shows at the top of this screen in very large digits. The digital temperature, speed, and log shows beneath the depth. The log starts counting when the Magna III Plus is first turned on. When the Magna III Plus is turned off, the log is reset to zero.
ALARMS FISH ALARM The Fish Alarm sounds a tone when a fish symbol appears on the screen. To use the fish alarm, press the menu key until the FISH ALARM menu appears on the screen. Now press the up arrow key to turn the alarm on. Repeat the above steps to turn the fish alarm off. (Note: If the Fish ID feature is off, it will be turned on when you turn the fish alarm on.) DEPTH ALARMS The depth alarms are triggered only by the bottom signal. No other echoes will activate these alarms. The depth alarms consist of a shallow and deep alarm. The shallow alarm sounds an alarm tone when the bottom goes shallower than the alarms setting. The deep alarm sounds a tone when the bottom goes deeper than its setting. Both alarms adjust the same, although through different menus. Shallow Alarm To set the shallow alarm, press the menu key repeatedly until the SHAL ALARM menu appears. Press the down arrow key to increase the shallow alarm's depth setting, the up arrow key decreases it. The number in the shallow alarms menu box shows the current shallow alarm setting. When the number reaches the desired setting, release the arrow key. When the bottom depth goes shallower than the alarms setting an alarm tone sounds. At the same time the alarm sounds, a message box appears on the screen as shown at right. Press the up arrow key to silence the alarm. This will turn the alarm sound off until the shallow alarm is triggered again. To turn the alarm off, press the menu key until the shallow alarm menu appears. Then press the up arrow key until the word OFF appears.
Deep Alarm The deep alarm adjusts the same as the shallow alarm. Use the DEEP ALARM menu to adjust the deep alarm. When the bottom signal goes deeper than the setting, an alarm tone sounds. LIGHTS The Magna III and Magna III Plus display is backlighted for night use. To turn the backlights on or off, press the menu key repeatedly until the LAMP menu appears. Now press the up arrow to turn the lights on or the down arrow to turn them off. The menu will clear automatically after a few seconds. FEET/METER The Magna III and Magna III Plus can show the depth in feet or meters. The Magna III Plus can also show temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius, speed in statute miles per hour or knots, and distance (log) in statute miles or nautical miles. When either unit is in the metric mode, all depth readings, ranges, zooms, and alarm settings are in meters. When a unit is in the feet mode, all of the above settings are in feet. To change from feet to meters or vice-versa, press the menu key until the FEET/METER menu appears. Press the down arrow key to switch to metric, the up arrow to switch to feet. Displays show in feet when the unit is first turned on. The menu will clear automatically after a few seconds or you can press the ON/CLEAR key to clear the screen.

SURVEYING A LAKE The most successful anglers on any body of water are those who fish it day after day and year after year. Eventually, they learn the hot spots that produce fish consistently. They discover through experience where, and at what depth, they can expect to find the fish they want at any season. And they realize that these productive areas change throughout the year depending on water level, temperature, food, and other factors. With the Magna III, anyone can eliminate guesswork and concentrate on the areas where fish are likely to be. Even if its the first time on the lake! The most efficient way to become acquainted with a body of water is to survey it with your Magna III Start with a map of the lake, if possible, and indicate the promising spots in relation to landmarks on shore. Keep a few marker buoys in the boat, ready to toss overboard. When the Magna III indicates a school of fish, throw the buoy out. With the school thus marked, you can make your turn and come back to fish in exactly the right spot. This is essential when youre far from shore on a big lake. Unless you mark the school of fish when youre over it, you may not be able to find it again. FISH ARCHES Fish arches are created when the cone of sound passes over a fish. The distance to a fish when the cone first strikes it is shown as "A" on the next page. When the center of the cone strikes the fish, the distance is shorter as shown "B". As the cone leaves the fish, the distance increases again as shown in "C". When the Fish I.D. mode is off, the depth of the water will affect the size and shape of the fish arch due to the cone angle diameter. For example, if the cone passes over a fish in shallow water, the signal displayed on the Magna III may not arch at all. This is due to the narrow cone diameter and the resolution limitations of the display. Very small fish probably will not arch at all. Medium sized fish will show a partial arch, or a shape similar to an arch if theyre in deep water. Large fish will arch, but turn the sensitivity up in deeper water to see the arch. Because of water conditions, such as heavy surface clutter, thermoclines, etc., the sensitivity sometimes cannot be increased enough to get fish arches.

Weak bottom echo, digital readings erratic, or no fish signals: 1. Make certain transducer is pointing straight down. Clean the face of the transducer. Oil, dirt, and fuel can cause a film to form on the transducer, reducing its effectiveness. If the transducer is mounted inside the hull, be sure it is shooting through only one layer of fiberglass and that it is securely bonded to the hull. Do NOT use RTV silicone rubber adhesive or MarinetexTM. 2. Electrical noise from the boats motor can interfere with the sonar. This causes the sonar to automatically increase its Discrimination or noise rejection feature. This can cause the unit to eliminate weaker signals such as fish or even structure from the display.
3. The water may be deeper than the sonars ability to find the bottom. If the sonar cant find the bottom signal while its in the automatic mode, the digital will flash continuously. It may change the range to limits far greater than the water you are in. If this happens, place the unit in the manual mode, then change the range to a realistic one, (for example, 0-100 feet) and increase the sensitivity. As you move into shallower water, a bottom signal should appear. 4. Check the battery voltage. If the voltage drops, the units transmitter power also drops, reducing its ability to find the bottom or targets.
Bottom echo disappears at high speeds or erratic digital reading or weak bottom echo while boat is moving 1. The transducer may be in turbulent water. It must be mounted in a smooth flow of water in order for the sonar to work at all boat speeds. Air bubbles in the water disrupt the sonar signals, interfering with its ability to find the bottom or other targets. The technical term for this is Cavitation. 2. Electrical noise from the boats motor can interfere with the sonar. This causes the sonar to automatically increase its Discrimination or noise rejection feature. This can cause the unit to eliminate weaker signals such as fish or even structure from the display. Try using resistor spark plugs or routing the sonar units power and transducer cables away from other electrical wiring on the boat.
No fish arches when the Fish ID feature is off: 1. Make certain transducer is pointing straight down. This is the most common problem if a partial arch is displayed. See the Fish Arch section in your owner's manual for more information. 2. The sensitivity may not be high enough. In order for the unit to display a fish arch, it has to be able to receive the fishs echo from the time it enters the cone until it leaves. If the sensitivity is not high enough, the unit displays the fish only when it is in the center of the cone. 3. Use the Zoom feature. It is much easier to display fish arches when zoomed in on a small range of water than a large one. For example, you will have much better luck seeing fish arches with a 30 to 60 foot range than a 0 to 60 foot range. This enlarges the targets, allowing the display to show much more detail.
