The Temperature sub tab provides a visual graph of water

on the far right side of the graph. The dotted lines within the graph
indicate intervals in the temperature scale and the duration of time.

Setup. See “Setting Up the Sonar Page” on page 125 for more
information.
Press MENU twice to open the Main Menu. Select Sonar from the
vertical row of tabs on the left, then select Temperature from the
row of tabs along the top of the screen.
