time using the demo mode prior to actual use of the unit. We
also recommend that you read this entire manual before
attempting to either install or operate your Sea Scout.

Warranty Information

Interphase provides a limited warranty on the Sea Scout
Forward Scanning Sonar. We strongly urge you to read this
warranty (reprinted at the back of this manual) and closely
follow its terms and conditions should your Sea Scout require
repair. It is highly recommended that you save all packing
materials so that if you should need to send in the unit for
repair, it can be fully protected. If you wrap your display unit
in the original plastic bag and ship it in the box with cardboard
inserts, this will protect your unit from scratches and shock
during shipment. You do not need to include the mounting
knobs or mounting bracket, however, try to include the
transducer whenever possible. Do not send the power cable
with the unit unless you need it tested for continuity or correct
polarity (Pin #1 to Red Wire).
Should you experience a problem with your Sea Scout, first
refer to the Troubleshooting section (Page 51) of this manual.
Most common problems and their solutions are described here.
If problems persist, call Interphase Technical Service at
(831) 477-4944. We will be happy to try to assist you, and if
required, we will give you instructions on how to quickly get
your set repaired.
The enclosed warranty registration card must be completed
and returned to Interphase within 15 days of purchase so that
your unit may be protected under the warranty. Failure to
return the warranty card may cause unnecessary delays in
processing your unit for warranty repair.
WARNING
Navigation based solely on one method or
one instrument should never be practiced.
While the Sea Scout can be quite useful in
showing underwater structure and changing
bottom conditions both below and in front
of your vessel, there are many situations
and conditions which can cause erroneous
or distorted readings.
In addition, there are many situations that
can cause "blind spots" in the Sea Scout's
field of view including the presence of
temperature inversion layers (thermoclines),
water turbulence, and high concentrations
of suspended particles in the water.
While the Sea Scout can be considered as a
useful aid to navigation, it should never be
the only means of navigation.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Since the Sea Scout's technology is
revolutionary, there is a strong possibility
that we will develop many new and exciting
features in the future. We would like to
make sure we can send you information
about these new features and enhancements.
Please fill out and return the Warranty
Registration Card immediately. This is our
only methyod to keep in contact with you
and we may want to advise you of future
enhancements to your Sea Scout.
During the first year of your warranty, any
software upgrades will be free of charge,
and after the warranty period has expired,
software upgrades will be available for a
nominal charge.
