ICE HELIX® SERIES Installation Guide
Maintenance
Your Humminbird ICE fishfinder is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation with virtually no
maintenance. Follow the simple procedures below to ensure that your Humminbird ICE continues to
deliver top performance.
Control Head Maintenance
It is important to consider the following precautions when using your control head.
WARNING! Do not use a chemical glass cleaner on the screen. Chemicals in the solution may cause
cracking in the lens of the unit.
Δ Chemicals, such as those found in bug spray and sunscreen, may cause permanent damage to the
control head screen. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
Δ Never leave your Humminbird ICE unit in a closed car or trunk — the high temperatures generated
in hot weather can damage the electronics.
Use the following information to keep the control head and screen clean.
Δ Screen: When cleaning the LCD protective screen, use a chamois and nonabrasive, mild cleaner.
Be careful to avoid scratching the lens.
NOTE: Do not wipe the screen while dirt or grease is on the screen.
Δ Control Head: If the unit comes into contact with salt spray, wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth
dampened in fresh water.
Transducer Maintenance
If your transducer remains in the water for long periods of time, slush, algae and other marine growth
can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically clean the face of the transducer with a mild,
marine-safe and plastic-safe soap or solution.
If your transducer remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take some time to wet the
transducer after it is returned to the water. Small air bubbles can cling to the surface of the transducer
and interfere with proper operation. These bubbles will dissipate with time, or you may wipe the face of
the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.
Portable Case Maintenance
Δ If the portable case comes into contact with salt spray, wipe the affected surfaces with a
lint-free cloth, then apply a commercially available anti-corrosive treatment to all exposed
electrical contacts.
Δ If the portable case becomes dirty, clean the case with mild soap, water, and a soft rag or brush
and then hang it up to dry.
How to Remove Water from the Portable Case
Open the front zipper and pull the case down to allow water to exit the case. If needed, remove the
case from the plastic base and air-dry it. Follow recommended maintenance procedures for salt
spray exposure, if needed.
