F LX- 12 OP E RATI ON
™
This unit is a step-up from the classic FL-8
Low Power Mode option that allows you to fish in extremely shallow water with great target resolution. It offers five depth ranges to 120 feet. The
FLX-12 offers a special Night Mode option so the display is easier to view at night and also lights up the center depth graphics. There are 20 steps
of Interference Rejection (IR) to help knock out interference from other sonar systems. If your battery is running low, the display gives a coded
series of flashes long before the unit shuts down. The FLX-12 is very popular for open water use because of its flat screen that won't trap water
and its great display visibility in sunlight.

Low Battery Indicator
The FLX-12 series units will give the angler
a low battery warning (10.6 volts) by flashing
the green depth lines around the inner side
of the display four times every four minutes.
At 8 volts, the green depth lines will flash
all the time just before the system shuts
down completely (6.5 volts). All batteries are
different and how long you are able to fish
after the first warning will vary. Also, this
feature is designed for SLA type batteries.
Vexilar Lithium battery voltage drops much faster
than SLA batteries at the end of the discharge cycle.
Therefore, expect the battery to die very soon after the
first low battery indications are given.
