Getting Started
The available languages are determined by your Humminbird model.
Set the maximum depth of the body of water. When Max Depth is set to Auto, the control head
will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capabilities of the unit). When Max Depth
is set to match your water maximum depth, the control head will not attempt to acquire sonar
data below that depth, so more detail will be shown on the display.
Side Imaging units default to the Side Imaging range setting if the SI Range is set deeper than
the Max Depth. See Side Imaging Overview for more information.
Water Type affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings and configures the control head
for operation in fresh or salt water.
In salt water, you can also choose the shallow or deep setting. If the depth is more than 330 ft
(100 m), select Salt (deep).
The control head will automatically select the transducer that was included with your control
head. If your model is compatible with an accessory transducer, and it is connected to the
control head, select the transducer in the system so the beams are activated and the related
views are added to the control head.
