Ok, I have not used an 8 in awhile. But I do not recall it having a 3 setting on the dial. Thought it went 1,2,4 and was a three position dial. Maybe it was an FL8se I used in the past but thought they were pretty much the same. Either way its pretty easy and not really fuzzy math. The settings were as follows S (using outside white dial) S1 0-20 feet S2 0-40 S4 0-80. D setting (using Inner gold ring) D1, 0-30 D2 0-60 D4 0-120. So basically you are taking either the first S or D setting and multiplying by the setting on the dial. so S setting is 20 x's the dial setting. so s setting on 4 is 20 times 4 equalling 80 foot range. D setting being zero to 30 set on setting 4 you would be on the range of 0-120 (4 multiplied by 30) foot. The trick is to utilize as much of the screen dial as possible to get the best target separation as possible. Meaning if you are in 32 foot of water set the vexilar to S2 therefore utiliziing most of the 0-40 screen. Hopes this makes sense, its very simple and once you get it down a vex can not be beat!! Anymore questions just let me know. Hope it is clear and I did not muck it up to bad
