I’d recommend putting these questions into YouTube.
Almost certainly if you look up a setup tutorial for your specific unit, someone will have already researched and presented the answers.

To get you started…
Frequency:
You usually get two frequencies with an ice transducer.
Higher one (200 usually) will give you a clearer picture but will cover a smaller cone shape (area on the bottom)
Lower one (83?). will cover a larger area but will be slower and have more unwanted information.
You need to match the frequencies to the transducer that came with the unit. Either find it on the manual, on a tag on the transducer, or stamped on it. Don’t enter in manual frequencies unless you bought a fancy transducer that didn’t come with the unit.
Gain:
Controls the sensitivity basically. Play with it to get the clearest picture you can. Generally lower in shallow, higher in deeper water. But just play with it.
Interference:
Can be an issue on crowded lakes when fish finders are running the same frequencies. Generally ignore it if you’re not in a busy area. Sometimes it’s worth playing with though as it can also clear up your display.
