HDS5 Depth Settings

I've had my HDS for a while now but have never been able to figure out how to cut out say the top 20m on the sounder reading so all i see is 20m-40m while fishing in 30m for example. Is anyone on here able to point me in the right direction with this one?

 I'm not in front of mine at the moment but when u have the sounder screen up and press menu and go to the depth tab it should bring up all the preset depths up ie 20,30,40etc all the way down to the hundreds and thousands on mine. Right at the bottom there is one that says custom and on here u can put in the number values of the upper limit and the lower limit so u can just display for example 15m of bottom in 40m depths. 

What u just do is set mine for the depth I'm usually fishing 40m and zoom in until I can only see the bottom 10-15m

 

Hope this helps
