Introduction
1 Introduction
The VEXILAR
®
VISION X10 Fish Finder is a 10.1-inch sonar unit designed to support
both open-water and ice-fishing operations, integrating multi-frequency sonar, wireless
accessory connectivity, GPS positioning, and real-time imaging functions to enhance target
detection accuracy and overall unit usability.
CAUTION
All route and navigation lines shown on the screen provide only general guidance
and are not intended for precise navigation. Operators must rely on official
navaids, waterway conditions, and sound seamanship to avoid hazards, damage,
or injury. This is a supplemental aid only and must not be used as the sole means
of navigation; users are responsible for employing multiple navigational methods
to ensure safe operation.
Basic Concept
Acquaint yourself with the basic operating concepts before using the sonar unit to improve
overall fishing performance.
Range Control
Depth Range determines the maximum depth at which the unit can detect and display
the bottom. Select the shallowest range that still shows the bottom to maximize screen
resolution and improve target visibility.
Gain Control
Gain adjusts the amplification of return sonar signals. Higher gain increases visible
information; lower gain reduces unwanted clutter. Set gain as low as possible while still
showing useful detail. Increasing gain expands the effective detection area but may reduce
clarity in cluttered environments.
Interference Rejection
Interference Rejection filters out sonar noise from nearby depth sounders. Enable this
feature when operating near other sonar systems or when excessive random signal flashes
appear on the display.

brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le
fonctionnement.
Specific Restrictions for 5 GHz Band (Canada)
The device for operation in the band 5150–5250 MHz is only for indoor use to reduce the
potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
Les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande de 5 150 à 5 250 MHz sont réservés uniquement
pour une utilisation à l’intérieur afin de réduire les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux
systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux.
GNSS / GPS Receiver Notice
The navigation device may experience degraded performance if it is used in proximity to
any device that uses a terrestrial broadband network operating close to the frequencies
used by any Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), such as the Global Positioning
Service (GPS). Use of such devices may impair reception of GNSS signals.
Radio Frequency Radiation Exposure
This device is a mobile transmitter and receiver that uses an internal antenna to send and
receive low levels of radio frequency (RF) energy for data communications. The device
emits RF energy below the published limits when operating in its maximum output power
mode and when used with authorized accessories. To comply with FCC and ISED RF
exposure compliance requirements, this equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance of 20 cm (7.87 in.) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonnements de la FCC et
d’ISDE établies pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et
utilisé avec un minimum de 20 cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre
corps. Cet émetteur ne doit pas être co-localisé ou fonctionner en conjonction avec une
autre antenne ou un autre émetteur.
