Page 5: Introduction
Introduction If your Humminbird control head has a built-in Ethernet connector, the unit can be connected to the Ethernet network. When you connect two units together, data is shared between the units. You can use an Ethernet Switch to link multiple Humminbird control heads, share transducers, and more. -
Page 6: Install An Ethernet Connection
You will need an SD or microSD card (depending on your control head model). WARNING! Humminbird is not responsible for the loss of data files (waypoints, routes, tracks, groups, snapshots, recordings, etc.) that may occur due to direct or indirect damage to the unit’s hardware or software. It is important to back up your control head data files periodically. -

Page 17: Sonar Source Overview
Sonar Source Overview When you select a new transducer source, the alarms, menu settings, view rotation, and digital readouts will update automatically on the control head. ∆ Menu Settings: If the sonar source is shared, the control heads will synchronize menu settings, while other menu settings will continue to operate individually on each control head. -
Page 18: Select A Sonar Source
Select a Sonar Source When you first set up the network, the control head will automatically choose the transducer connected to it. APEX and SOLIX control heads without a connected transducer will not select an alternate sonar source and will default to "None". Use the instructions in this section to change the sonar source. - Page 19 The transducer you select on the Side Imaging tab (APEX/SOLIX) or the SI tab (HELIX) will provide the data for the Side Imaging Views and related digital readouts. As you select sonar sources for each view, it is important to consider the following information: Default: When you first set up the network, the control head will automatically choose the transducer source connected to it.
