Page 7: Helix Series Introduction
HELIX Series Introduction The HELIX Series Fishfinder is available in several different configurations. See the following list of products, all of which are covered by this manual, to find your HELIX Series model: • HELIX SONAR: Wide screen Fishfinder with DualBeam PLUS sonar. •... - Page 8 When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret “graph” of the bottom, fish, and structure appears. The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited.
-
Page 9: Dualbeam Plus Sonar
DualBeam PLUS Sonar (HELIX SONAR) The HELIX SONAR Fishfinder uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS sonar system with a wide (60°) area 20˚ of coverage. DualBeam PLUS sonar has a narrowly 60˚ 200kHz focused 20° center beam, surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to an area 83kHz equal to your depth. - Page 10 Whether fishing in shallow or very deep water, selectable dual-frequency is ideal for a variety of conditions. NOTE: Visit our Web site at humminbird.com to determine which accessory transducers are compatible with your Humminbird Fishfinder, or contact Customer Service at 1-800-633-1468.

-
Page 18: Understanding The Sonar Display
Understanding the Sonar Display It is important to understand the significance of the display. The display does NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time. -
Page 19: Sonar Colors And Bottom View
Sonar Colors and Bottom View Sonar Colors: Original Palette As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on HIGH the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The Intensity Return Sonar View displays the sonar return intensity with different colors. - Page 20 Structure ID represents weak returns in blue and strong returns in red when Sonar Colors is set to Original. If the Sonar Colors palette is changed, the Structure ID will display the strongest return as specified by the palette. See Sonar Menu Tab: Sonar Colors for more information. WhiteLine highlights the strongest sonar returns in white, resulting in a distinctive outline.
- Page 21 SwitchFire SwitchFire controls how the sonar returns are displayed in the Sonar Views. SwitchFire settings are available in the Sonar Menu Tab. To see the maximum sonar information available within the transducer beam so more fish arches and better jig tracking are shown, choose Max Mode.

Page 24: Understanding The Down Imaging Display
Understanding the Down Imaging Display The images you see on the Down Imaging display are produced using sonar technology. Each time the unit pings, a strip of data representing all the echoes received by the transducer are put together on the display to form the image that you see. -
Page 25: Down Imaging Sensitivity
Down Imaging Sensitivity Use Down Sensitivity to control how the sonar returns appear on the display. Increase the sensitivity to reveal weaker returns that may be of interest, especially in very clear water or greater depths. Decrease the sensitivity to eliminate the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water. -
