ICE FISHING TRANSDUCER Installation Guide
1. Attach your transducer float to the transducer cable by sliding the cable through the slit in the
float.
2. Position the float so that the transducer will be submerged in the water, just below the ice.
NOTE: The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer detection. The bottom
of the transducer should be even with the bottom of the ice or hang slightly below the bottom of
the ice.
3. Once you know where you want to position your float, place the cable clamp onto the transducer
cable, above the float. Make sure that the cable is taut, so that the transducer hangs straight
down (see Attaching the Cable Clamp).

| Connecting the Transducer Cable
This section covers how to connect your transducer cable to your control head. Refer to the correct
illustrations and instructions for your installation type.
CAUTION! Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or flooded.
If cables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric grease to the
inside of the connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be purchased separately from
a general hardware or automotive store.
1. See the illustration, Connecting to the Portable Base, below.
If your control head base includes a jumper port to the left of the control head (as you face the
front of the portable bag), proceed to step 2a.
If your control head base does not include a jumper port, proceed to step 2b.
2a. If your control head base includes a jumper port, plug the transducer cable into the jumper port
in the portable base.
