2 How Sonar W orks How Sonar W orks Sonar technology is based on sound wav es. The 500 Series™ F ishfinder uses sonar to locate and define structur e, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the tr ansducer . Y our 500 Series™ Fishfinder sends a sound wav e signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the[...]

How Sonar W orks When all the e choes are view ed side by side, an easy to interpret “gr aph“ of the bottom, fish, and structure appear s.
