Lowrance 16i Installation Instructions Manual

Portable power pack

This ice fishing power pack is designed for use with most small and
mid-size NMEA 2000
tors. For complete details on compatible units, consult your dealer or
the company web site, www.lowrance.com.
Even though it was designed for ice fishing, the power pack can also ex-
tend the use of your sonar or GPS into warm weather angling. It's ideal
for fishing from a dock or pier. Crappie
fishermen who tie up to drowned trees
will find the PPP-16i useful for that type
of stationary fishing as well.
With an optional portable Skimmer
transducer, you can run the unit in
your own boat, or take it along as a
second sonar or GPS in a friend's boat.
The versatile sonars compatible with the
PPP-16i have scrolling chart displays as
well as flasher displays, making them
fully functional for boat trolling and
stationary use.
The PPP-16i package includes: freeze
resistant power pack carry bag, base
plate, rechargeable gel cell battery,
battery charger, ice fishing transducer,
transducer mounting rod, swing arm
and adjustment lock for holding the
mounting rod, hook and loop battery
straps and the nuts and bolts needed to
assemble the power pack. The gimbal
bracket is sold separately.
When assembled, the pack is designed to
fit comfortably inside a typical 5-gallon
plastic bucket. This power pack can also use an optional battery
adapter that holds eight "D" size batteries. You can assemble everything
without tools, but it's easiest if you have a screwdriver and perhaps a
small adjustable wrench or pair of wire pliers.

    BATTERY CARE Make sure the battery is fully charged before you use the PPP-16i for the first time. When fully discharged, it takes approximately nine hours to recharge the battery.

If a malfunction happens in- side the unit, extensive damage can occur if the enclosed fuse is not used. As with all electrical devices, the unit could be damaged to a point where it is unrepairable and could even cause harm to the user when not properly fused.

    Optional D cell battery adapter. Connect black to black and red to red. Caution: When using the sonar in a saltwater environment, we strongly recommend you unplug the red and black power connectors from the battery terminals when the unit is not in use.
