The soft keys on your Simrad S2009 may not be working due to several possible reasons:
1. Power issue: Ensure the unit is powered on properly by pressing the power key once. 2. Software or system freeze: Try restarting the unit by turning it off (press and hold the power key) and then turning it back on. 3. Physical damage or dirt: Check if the softkeys are physically damaged or obstructed by dirt or moisture. 4. Incorrect operation: Make sure you are pressing the softkeys once, as they are designed to access options for the corresponding function with a single press.
If the problem persists after checking these, the unit may require inspection or service.
The relevant Declaration of conformity is available on the following website: navico- commercial.com/. About this manual This manual is a reference guide for operating and the software setup for the S2009 and S2016 Fish finder systems. Separate installation instructions for transducers are included with the transducer package.
The choice, location, and installation of transducers and other components of the system are critical to the performance of the system as intended. If in doubt, consult your Simrad dealer. To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting this instrument, you must read and understand all aspects of the Installation and Operation manuals.
