There is no “Auto” setting for the 2D sonar sensitivity. However, the unit does automatically change internal settings when going deeper or shallower. The Sensitivity menu itself does not change the actual sensitivity of the unit; rather it just allows the user to bias the amount of information that the units receives and displays. You want to see smaller sonar returns or show smaller sonar returns as larger sonar returns? Than set the Sensitivity menu higher. If you only want to see the stronger sonar returns? Set the Sensitivity menu lower.
