  • Page 13: Troubleshooting

    The FC500 fish finder has a depth capability from 0.3 to 30m, however due to the sonar character, the RTS sensor can only achieve the best performance in water ranging from 1.2 – 30m deep.

  • Page 14: Maintenance

    Nothing appears on the display even you can see fish under the sensor. Oil, dirt and fuel might cause a film to form on the sensor and reduce its effectiveness. Cleaning the surface of the transducer might help. Electrical noise nearby can interfere with the sonar, which will cause some weaker signals to be eliminated.
