Striperdude,
Congratulations on owning a sonar unit. Pretty soon you will feel "blind" on the water without one. Next you will want one with GPS and side scanning....[laugh]
Reading, even studying, the manual is very important. The sonar footprint is a cone and the manual will help understand the instrument's limitations and help you figure out the diameter of your cone at different depths.
Take the manual for a boat ride and spend some time on water playing around with settings. You can always return to the default settings. I recommend turn of the fish ID.
