Page 11: Antenna
Now attach the antenna to the mounting surface, using 4mm screws and the supplied lock washers. Route the cable to the GPS receiver and the antenna in- stallation is finished. -
Page 12: Transducer
A slot next to the threads in the pole mount adapter places the cable next to the pole where it can be easily routed down the pole to the GPS receiver. The threads on the pole mount adapter accept a standard marine antenna POLE MOUNT mount. - Page 13 Read this section carefully before attempting the installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Remember, the transducer location is the most critical part of a sonar installation. Location - General 1. The transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow of water at all times.
- Page 14 Transducer Assembly and Mounting The best way to install this transducer is to loosely assemble all of the parts first, then place the transducer’s bracket against the transom and see if you can move the transducer so that it’s parallel with the ground. 1.
- Page 15 3. Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown below. Don’t tighten the lock nut at this time. RUBBER WASHERS 4. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. The transducer should be roughly parallel to the ground. The bottom of the transducer bracket should be in line with the bottom of the hull.

Page 16: Introduction To Gps
The signals can be blocked easily by trees, buildings, even your body. Never use this GPS receiver while operating a vehicle! Like most GPS receivers, this unit doesn’t have a compass or any other navigation aid built inside. It relies solely on the signals from the satellites IMPORTANT! - Page 17 Currently, we are seeing an accuracy of 20 meters or less. Far better than when SA was on. However, if you do want better performance, many manufacturers (including Eagle) sell a DGPS receiver that attaches to your GPS receiver. The DGPS system transmits correction signals that increase the accuracy of the GPS receiver to about 10 meters.

For example, if the sonar is show- ing, and you press the MENU key, GPS map items won’t show on the list. This helps you find the needed item without scrolling through unneces-... -
Page 19: Satellite Status Screen
The GPS receiver is tracking satellites that are surrounded by a black box. The receiver hasn't locked onto a satellite if it's number isn't sur- rounded by a box, therefore it isn’t being used to solve the position. -
Page 20: Finding Your Position
FINDING YOUR POSITION Auto Search To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know it’s current position, UTC time, and date. (Elevation (altitude) is also used in the equa- tion, but it’s rarely required to determine a position.) It needs this data so that it can calculate which satellites should be in view. -
Page 21: Position Acquisition
Using the manual initialization method loads a position that’s close to yours into the GPS receiver. It should now have position, time, and date, thereby giving it the data it needs to determine which satellites are in view. Once the satellites are known, the receiver searches for only those satellites, making a lock faster than an auto search method. - Page 22 STATUS NAVIGATION SONAR (Status Only) MAPPING WINDOW GROUPS Navigation There are two different navigation screens. Nav screen number one shows a graphical view of your trip, Nav screen number 2 shows all navigation details in large digital numbers. You can also customize both navigation screens to show data other than the default.

Page 60: Pcf (Position Correction Factor)
Position Pinning When using a GPS receiver at extremely low speeds, it can have trouble determining your course over ground, or direction you’re travelling. This is due in large part to SA, or selective availability. SA is small inaccuracies purposefully put into the GPS satellite’s signal by the government. -
Page 61: Gps Alarms
This also affects the navigational displays. The easiest way to see the effects of S/A is to stand still with the GPS receiver turned on and watch your plot trail with position pinning turned off. -
