Speaker
Find a location for the speaker that is protected from the elements, but
still lets you hear it. The most common location is behind the dash. Make
sure to connect the speaker's wires to the same colored wires from the
unit – red to red (from the power source) and black to black (from the
speaker cable). See previous diagram for details. If the 1440's wires won't
reach the speaker, splice ordinary speaker wire to them.
Power Connections
The LCF-1440 works from a 12-volt battery system. For the best
results, attach the power cable directly to the boat's battery. You can
attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may
have problems with electrical interference. Therefore, it's safer to go
ahead and attach the power cable directly to the battery.
The power cable has two wires, red and black. Red is the positive lead,
black is negative or ground. Make sure to attach the in-line fuse holder
both to the red wire and directly to the power source. This will protect both
the unit and the power cable in the event of a short. It uses a 2-amp fuse.
CAUTION:
Do not use this product without a 2-amp fuse wired into the
power cable! Failure to use a 2-amp fuse will void your warranty.
The black wire is ground and should be connected to the negative side
of the battery or to a suitable ground buss.
This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the
power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the
wires are attached correctly.
Transducer
This unit sometimes comes packaged with either a Skimmer
type transducer. For transducer installation instructions, consult the
separate instruction sheet (part 988-0147-581 for Skimmer-type
transducers, part 988-0147-721 for pod-type).
Lowrance sells many different styles of transducers. If you do not have a
transducer installed, consult your local boat dealer or the Lowrance
service center for assistance selecting the proper transducer for your
boat. (Look inside the back cover of this manual for contact information.)
