| Installing the Battery

Before proceeding with this procedure, confirm the battery is fully charged (see Charging the Battery).
NOTE: Some international models may not include a battery or battery charger.
1. Move the tie-down straps out of the way so that the battery well is fully accessible.
NOTE: For ease of access to the battery well, move the tie-down straps to the side and
secure them around the handle.
2. Center the foam pad on the battery well.
3. Place the battery on the foam pad and push the battery into the battery well. Make sure the
power cable is fitted snugly into the slot in the well so that the battery does not rest on it, and
that the foam pad fits evenly around the battery well edges.
4. Pull the two battery tie-down straps over the top of the battery and connect both ends of each
strap over the top. Make sure that the straps are pulled tight around the battery and that the
battery is seated securely in the battery well.
NOTE: Do NOT connect the power cable to the battery at this time. You should wait until just
before fishing to connect the power cable to the battery.

head, as you face the front of the bag (see the illustration Plugging in the Transducer).
