  • Page 14: How Sonar Works

    How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 700 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 700 Series™ Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object;...
  • Page 15 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 16: Side Imaging Sonar

    Side Imaging Sonar ® Your 700 Series™ Fishing System uses Side Imaging® sonar to provide a wide yet precise survey of a large area of water, including detailed bottom topography fish- attracting structure orientation. The Side Imaging® transducer returns are processed into an image similar to an aerial photograph.

  • Page 17: Dualbeam Plus™ Sonar

    DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar Your 700 Series™ Fishing System uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS™ sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center beam, surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to an area equal to your depth.

  • Page 18: Dual Beam Ice Transducer (Optional-Purchase Xi 9 20 Ice Transducer Only)

    Dual Beam Ice Transducer Ice transducer (optional-purchase XI 9 20 Ice Transducer only) Your Fishing System supports the optional- purchase XI 9 20 Ice Transducer which provides selectable dual-frequency sonar with a wide area of coverage. Selectable dual-frequency gives you the option of two beams, and both beams will cover the bottom and provide high definition.

  • Page 19: Quadrabeam Plus™ Sonar (With Optional-Purchase Quadrabeam Plus™ Transducer)

    QuadraBeam PLUS™ Sonar (with optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer) Your Fishing System also supports QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar with the 35° 60° 20° 35° purchase of an additional QuadraBeam 455 kHz 455 kHz 200 kHz PLUS™ transducer.

  • Page 24: 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 25: Switchfire

    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. To see less clutter and more fish size accuracy interpreted from the transducer beam, choose Clear Mode.

  • Page 26: Bottom Presentation

    Bottom Presentation As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display.

  • Page 30: Understanding The Side Imaging® Display

    Understanding the Side Imaging® Display It is important to understand how Side Imaging® technology produces the display. The images you see on the display are produced using sonar technology. The special transducer projects three distinct beams – one beam facing down and two beams pointing out to the side. Down Beam is aimed directly below the boat and provides conical coverage.
  • Page 31 Side Imaging® sonar echoes are first displayed at the top of the screen, and historical data scrolls down the display as new information is received. The main benefit of Side Imaging® sonar to anglers is that it provides an overall survey of a large area of water.

  • Page 32: Side Imaging® Frequencies And Coverage

    Side Imaging® Frequencies and Coverage Side Imaging® sonar uses two very precise sonar beams that are directed to either side of the boat. The beams “illuminate” the bottom contour, structure, and fish, and the results are displayed in a “picture-like” image on the screen. •...

    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 41: 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.

    Fish and other objects close to the bottom that fall within the dead zone will probably not be visible in the sonar beam. Precision sonar beams, such as the Humminbird® 20° beam, have a smaller dead zone than wider sonar beams.
  • Page 193 Noise appears as random “dots“ on the display and is caused by a variety of sources. Many Humminbird® products have a Noise Filter menu setting that allows the user to clear the screen of noise that is difficult to eliminate (also, see Troubleshooting).
  • Page 194 Many Humminbird® units operate at up to 40 times per second when in single frequency operation. Due to the limitation of the speed of sound in water, the update rate begins to slow as depth increases to deeper than 50 feet.
  • Page 195 Thermoclines Water layer(s) of distinctly different temperatures that create a sonar reflection due to the density of the differing water temperatures. Typically a thermocline will appear as a continuous band across the display at some distance above the bottom contour. Thermoclines are of interest to anglers because fish will suspend above or below the thermocline as they seek the optimum temperature and oxygen levels.
  • Page 196 Acquisition Time The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to determine a position from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers provide very fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water faster.
  • Page 197 Estimated Position Error (EPE) A calculation that indicates the potential position inaccuracy the user may experience due to a variety of GPS factors which include satellite position in the sky, signal strength, and others factors. Fix Type Indicates whether the GPS receiver is providing 2D fix or 3D fix. A 2D fix requires only three satellites and provides only latitude and longitude.
  • Page 198 Speed Over Ground is optimal for navigation because accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement. Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both speed measurements. Time To Go (TTG) The estimated time required to reach the destination waypoint.
  • Page 199 GPS receiver’s memory. This can include a marker buoy, dock, fishing hole, or anywhere else the user may want to return to. Humminbird® products offer the ability to name and assign a symbol to the saved location. Depth, Date, and Time of Day when the waypoint was created is also saved.
