Start with the default settings and become familiar with how each menu setting affects what you see on the screen. Than customize the settings to your preferences.
If you want; post a few Screen Snapshots of what you are seeing and someone will post back suggested menu changes for you to try.
By the way; the same sonar is in the other Humminbird DI units, so the same menu settings should work as well.
Hi Gregg: I got my 570 DI hooked up and I really like it so far. The Switchfire mode that is advertised shows it in color, if I go to Switchfire is that going to be in color? Thanks.
switchfire is on both color and grayscale units. Clear mode takes out most of the clutter and Max mode shows just about all returns--so you have to change your sensitivity settings to get the picture you want depending on what you want to see. As far as DI so far I have set mine up with the sensitivity between 12 and 15 depending on what I am looking for and the contrast between 5 and 10 for the same reasons. Also I use mostly 455khz and only use 200khz for 2d. I do use my unit on switchfire max mode mostly and adjust my sensitivity down some to clear some of the clutter on 2d. Hope this is helpful.
The 570 DI is a monochrome unit so all screens shown will be in black and white.Quote:
