| Confirm the 2D Transducer and Turn off Additional Transducers
To record your custom map, you must have a reliable and accurate digital depth from a pinging 2D transducer. You can use your
Humminbird CHIRP transducer with 2D (down beam) capabilities, DualBeam PLUS transducer (83/200 kHz or 50/200 kHz), or the
Side Imaging tranducer with 2D (down beam) capabilities.
When you are recording your map, you should have only one 2D transducer pinging on your boat. If you have other 2D transducers
pinging on remote control heads, you should turn them off. Down Imaging and Side Imaging beams can operate at the same time.
You do not need to turn them off.
1. Press the HOME key.
2. Select Settings.
3. Select CHIRP Sonar.

5. Select the 2D Sonar tab.
6. Confirm that 2D Pinging is turned on. Tap the 2D Pinging on/off button, or press the ENTER key, to turn it on.
