One thing you have to watch out for is when you set the Max Depth menu to a setting shallower than the water depth you are in. You will not allow the unit to listen to the sonar returns for a long enough period of time so it will not be able to correctly show the water depth or use its Si and Di sonar correctly.
Greg brings up a good point here that may need to be noted...Quote:

The "Lower Range" setting is merely telling the unit to only show on the 2d display down to a depth equal to the setting value...(this is a screen display setting)
