Lowrance ActiveTarget 1 and 2 Live Sonar PDF Settings Guide

This guide is for first-generation Active Target, not Active Target 2 or Active Target 2 XL. It uses its external sonar module and works with HDS PRO, HDS LIVE, HDS Carbon, and Elite FS. HDS LIVE, HDS Carbon, and Elite FS required the software release that added Active Target support. Match the transducer generation, module, display, and software.

The current Lowrance Active Target 1 and 2 Live Sonar PDF Settings Guide covers the following sections from the PDF:

• Starting Out: Definitions, Installation, Orientations, Software Updates, Adding Active Target to Home Screen
• Installation Settings: Depth Offset, Angle Offset
• Settings: Forward Range, Down Range, Contrast, Noise Reject, Color Scheme, StableView, Range Grid, Mode Icon
• My Settings: Forward, Down, Scout

It is not only a list of numbers. The PDF gives recommended settings or ranges for the exact transducer and explains the covered controls, setup, and screenshots that go with those recommendations.

This PDF is focused on setting up the exact transducer named on the product page. It includes screenshots and setup explanations, but the video courses are the step-by-step products for learning to read and use each sonar type.

Use the recommended settings as your normal baseline. The guide also explains the controls that change with what you are viewing, such as range or aim, and when to return to the normal setup. The recommendations are not split into different settings for different water clarity.

YouTube can be useful for individual questions. This guide puts the recommendations, explanations, screenshots, and setup information for one exact transducer into one ordered PDF, so you do not have to combine advice made for different equipment.

ChatGPT can help explain settings and answer questions. Check that its advice matches your exact fish finder and transducer. This PDF brings the recommended settings, explanations, and screenshots for the listed equipment together in one guide.

After checkout, the current store process makes the PDF available on the Course Home page, in a follow-up email, and from the Orders page when you log in with the same email used at checkout.

Yes. You can save the PDF to your phone or computer and print it at home. On an iPhone, downloaded PDFs normally appear in the Files app under Downloads or Recents.

The PDF Settings Guide is digital and a printed guide is not mailed. A Laminated Quick Reference Card is included only when the purchase option you select explicitly says it includes one.
