NOTE: Items labeled as High Frequency Pair refer to the higher of two given frequencies.
Items labeled as Low Frequency Pair refer to the lower of two given frequencies. For
example, a Low & Medium Frequency CHIRP transducer would use the medium frequencies
as the High Frequency Pair and the low frequencies as the Low Frequency Pair.
4. Unscrew the Broadband port cover on the Black Box Sonar.
5. Connect the adapter cable connector to the port. Hand-tighten the screw nut to secure the
cable connection.

Connect the Power Cable
The Black Box Sonar power cable (included) can be connected to the electrical system of the boat at
two locations: a fuse panel (usually located near the console) or directly to the battery.
CAUTION! Make sure that the power cable is disconnected from the Black Box Sonar at the
beginning of this procedure.
NOTE: Humminbird is not responsible for over-voltage or over-current failures. The Black
Box Sonar must have adequate protection through the proper selection and installation of
a 5 amp fuse (separate purchase required).
1. Refer to the table, Determine Your Voltage Requirement, to confirm the voltage requirement
for your Fishing System.
2a. If a fuse terminal is available, use crimp-on type electrical connectors (not included) that match
the terminal on the fuse panel. Depending on your control head model, attach the black wire to
ground (-) and the red wire to positive (+) 12 VDC or 24 VDC power (see Determine Your Voltage
Requirement). Install a 5 amp fuse (not included) for the protection of the accessory.
Humminbird is not responsible for over-voltage or over-current failures.
2b. If you need to wire the power cable directly to a battery, obtain and install an inline fuse holder
and a 5 amp fuse (not included) for the protection of the accessory. Attach the black wire to
ground (-) and the red wire to positive (+). Humminbird is not responsible for over-voltage or
over-current failures.
3. Connect the power cable connector to the port labeled POWER on the Black Box Sonar. The ports
are keyed to prevent reversed installation, so be careful not to force the connector into the
connector port. Hand-tighten the screw nut to secure the cable connection.
4. Install cable ties (separate purchase required) to prevent the cables from moving and pulling,
which could stress and potentially damage the cable connectors.
Proceed to the Set up Transducers and Select Sonar Sources section to set up your transducer source
on the control head.
