Just got an Elite FS couple days ago and with the new firmware and some of the settings were removed, put else where or new ones added. One of the new ones is "structure resolution" for down and side scan but i don't see any change no matter to what i set it.

If i have my sonar on high chirp on my FA9 the down scan and side scan will not work. why? Am i not setting something up properly?
@AquaLifestyle Жыл бұрын
It sounds like the there might be an issues in the settings. I believe you should be able to have high chirp and side and down scan running. I would call the tech support line while in front of the display and have them walk you through the settings. Let us know what you find out. Thanks.

Question for you - how do you have your unit set up to adjust settings off your boat? I have a new elite 9 that I’d like to get dialed in but I don’t want to sit at the dock for hours tweaking things. Doing this in my basement would be awesome and save me time on my next outing. Thanks for the great video.
@AquaLifestyle2 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed the video. We have the unit hooked up to a power converter that converts the AC power down to 12V DC. The converter we use is not really a cost effective way to power your unit for set up. Unfortunately they do not offer a ac power cable option for these units. A small 12V battery might be your best option.

I have a Lowrance Elite FS 9" - I have a problem? I have a hard time seeing the sonar screen while sunny and wareing sunglasses. Any tips? I have to bend down put my face right up to screen while shading area as best I can with my hand. Its like running blind when your driving boat do to not being able to see screen. It's the glare.

Thanks for video. This is my first fish finder that is not just very basic. Is there a way to practice with this when you are not on the water?

Unfortunately Lowrance does not offer a conversion cable so that you can plug it in to a wall socket. You can put it into a simulation mode while hooked up on the boat and play. Just remember to turn the simulator off before you power down.
@joelynott73602 жыл бұрын
@@AquaLifestyle Yes there is! Get you a power supply cable at your local Lowrance dealer and plug it in then take your black and red wires and connect to a 12 volt battery. Was doing this in my living room last night! Works like a champ!😄

Doesn’t it automatically pick up what type of transducer? When I installed mine I couldn’t select a transducer it went automatically to 3 and 1 and grey out other selections is this correct or am I doing something wrong
@AquaLifestyle2 жыл бұрын
You are not doing anything wrong. That is correct. It has the ability to auto select depending on the transducer and software version. In your case it knew which transducer was connected and set the display for that transducer automatically.

When in split screen and using Chart, we cant get the cursor to stay in the center of the screen. We have to keep clicking on GoTo Cursor. Any ideas how to fix?

I believe you can adjust settings to accomplish this. Call the Lowrance tech line at 1-800-628-4487 and they can go through the settings with you.

How do I set the turn the contrast up
@AquaLifestyle2 жыл бұрын
In the sonar modes you click on menu, select contrast and set using the slide controller. If you want to adjust brightness of the display you can tap the power button several times to run through different brightness settings or you can swipe down from the top of the screen and access the quick menu and adjust brightness from there.

@AquaLifestyle2 жыл бұрын
Upgrading to the Elite FS enables the addition of available and future options but the Elite Ti2 is an excellent and capable machine and if you are happy with what it does then it may be worth waiting for the next generation before upgrading.
