The Lowrance TotalScan Settings Guide Is Here

The Lowrance TotalScan Settings Guide is here.

If you're running a TotalScan transducer, you have three sonar modes working at once: traditional 2D CHIRP, DownScan Imaging, and SideScan Imaging. Each one shows you different information. Each one needs its own settings.

This 28-page guide walks you through the settings for all three modes. You're going to see when to use 200kHz vs. 83kHz on your 2D sonar. You're going to learn when 800kHz gives you sharper detail on DownScan and when 455kHz penetrates deeper water better on SideScan. You're going to adjust contrast, scroll speed, and sensitivity so you can separate fish from structure.

When you know your settings are right, you stop wondering if that mark on the screen is real.

What's Inside

The guide covers these sonar modes on your TotalScan:

2D Sonar Settings

• 200kHz (high detail, shallow water) and 83kHz (broader coverage, deep water)
• Sensitivity adjustments for different depths and water clarity
• Colorline, scroll speed, and noise rejection
• When to switch between frequencies

DownScan Imaging Settings

• 800kHz for sharp detail in shallow water
• 455kHz for better depth penetration
• Contrast and FishReveal overlay settings
• Reading fish as dots on DownScan

SideScan Imaging Settings

• 800kHz and 455kHz frequency selection
• Range adjustments for scanning shallow vs. deep areas
• Contrast settings to separate targets from bottom
• Surface clarity for cleaner images

The guide also covers the installation and troubleshooting basics. If your transducer isn't level, if you have weak voltage, or if you're getting interference from your trolling motor, your sonar quality suffers before you even touch the settings. The troubleshooting section helps you identify what's causing the problem.

Your Options

You can get the settings guide by itself, or bundle it with the video courses that teach you how to read each sonar type.

The TotalScan Settings Guide gives you the settings. The video courses teach you what you're looking at when you adjust them.

If you want to learn how to read structure on DownScan, how to scan large areas with SideScan, and how traditional 2D sonar cones work, the 3-in-1 Sonar Bundle includes the settings guide plus all three video courses.

The settings are transducer-specific. The courses are universal. They teach you how each sonar technology works, no matter what brand fishfinder you're running.
