General Information

T
hank you for your selection of the Interphase Probe
Forward Scanning Sonar. The Probe's ruggedly built,
compact design makes it ideal for installation on nearly any
boat. It will display water depth, bottom conditions and
submerged objects such as fish, or objects in your path, on its
high resolution display. The Probe is available with either a
transom or thru-hull scanning sonar depth transducer. In
addition, an optional speed/temperature transducer (either
transom or thru-hull) is available which will enable your
Probe to display boat speed, elapsed distance and surface
water temperature. Refer to the accessories part numbers
printed in the Transducer Installation section (Page 17) of
this manual, then see your dealer or call Interphase to order.
The Probe has an unprecedented number of advanced features,
in addition to the forward scanning capability, to make your
boating safer and your fishing more productive. Its high
resolution SuperTwist Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) provides
split screen views of 4X magnification zoom and bottom lock,
large digital display, speed and temperature (with the speed/
temperature transducer). You will appreciate the very useful
features of fish and depth alarms, manual or automatic gain
control, bottom hardness indicator and fish symbol
identification.
The Probe allows operation in your choice of nine languages:
English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Danish, Finnish,
Swedish, or Greek. Power-off memory saves language, depth
range, gain and contrast settings, screen advance speed and
location in screen menu. Due to its unique multi-tasking
operation, the Probe provides instant full screen updates when
switching between modes (no data loss).
If you have your Probe interfaced with a Loran-C or GPS unit
(NMEA version 2.0, non-differential), you can take advantage
of the included track plot displays. The Loran-C, DECCA, and
GPS track plot displays on the Probe give a whole new
dimension, enabling you to not only see the depths beneath and
in front of your boat, but also to see a graphic display of your
boat's position and progress over time. The track plot display
makes it easy to find and return to the same fishing spot, or to
troll back over the same productive areas.
