General Information

T
hank you for your selection of the Interphase Sea Scout
Scanning Sonar. The Sea Scout's ruggedly built, compact
design makes it ideal for installation on nearly any boat. It will
display water depth, bottom conditions and submerged objects
such as fish, or objects in your path, on its high resolution
display. The Sea Scout is available with either a transom or
thru-hull scanning sonar depth transducer. In addition, an
optional speed/temperature transducer (either transom or thru-
hull) is available which will enable your Sea Scout to display
boat speed, elapsed distance and surface water temperature.
Refer to the accessories part numbers printed in the
Transducer Installation section (Page 10) of this manual,
then see your dealer or call Interphase to order.
The Sea Scout has an unprecedented number of advanced
features, in addition to the forward scanning capability, to
make your boating safer and your fishing more productive. Its
high resolution SuperTwist Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
provides split screen views of 4X magnification zoom and
bottom lock, large digital display, speed and temperature (with
the speed/temperature transducer). You will appreciate the
very useful features of fish and depth alarms, manual or
automatic gain control, bottom hardness indicator and fish
symbol identification.
The Sea Scout allows operation in your choice of nine
languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Danish,
Finnish, Swedish, or Greek. Power-off memory saves
language, depth range, gain and contrast settings, screen
advance speed and location in screen menu. Due to its unique
multi-tasking operation, the Sea Scout provides instant full
screen updates when switching between modes (no data loss).
If you have your Sea Scout interfaced with a compatible
Loran-C or GPS unit, you can take advantage of the included
track plot displays. The Loran-C, DECCA, and GPS track plot
displays on the Sea Scout give a whole new dimension,
enabling you to not only see the depths beneath and in front of
your boat, but also to see a graphic display of your boat's
position and progress over time. The track plot display makes
it easy to find and return to the same fishing spot, or to troll
back over the same productive areas.
To ensure that you receive the maximum benefits available
from the outstanding features of the Interphase Sea Scout,
please carefully follow the steps outlined in this manual. An
instructive demonstration simulator has been designed into the
Sea Scout and we highly recommend that you spend some
