Metric Setting Problems

When setting the Elite 3x for meters instead of feer, the fish ID funktion still shows in feer! Depth alarm and Shallow alaram also dont work with meters, the set value dont stat, it seems as if the sonar somehow changes it to feer instead, although the unikt still is meters!
