Introduction WARNING See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information. Device Keys Item Icon Description Returns to the previous screen. Returns to the home screen when held. Scrolls, highlights options, and moves the cursor. Zooms in and out of a view.
When the fishfinder acquires satellite signals, appears at the top of the Home screen. When the fishfinder loses satellite signals, disappears and a flashing question mark appears over on the screen. For more information about GPS, go to www.garmin.com/aboutGPS. Introduction...
Some pages combine two or more functions on one page. The number of options available for combination pages depends on the optional devices you have connected to your STRIKER Plus device. You can edit the combination pages and create new combination pages.
Creating a New Combination Page with the STRIKER Plus 4 You can create a custom page to suit your needs. 1 Select Customize > Add > Add Combo. 2 Select the first function. 3 Select the second function. 4 Select Split to choose the direction of the split screen (optional).
® You can connect a mobile device to the STRIKER Plus device using the ActiveCaptain app. The app provides a quick and easy way for you to interact with your chartplotter and complete such tasks as sharing data, registering, updating the device software, and receiving mobile device notifications.
Do not read or reply to notifications while operating the vessel. Failure to pay attention to the conditions on the water can result in vessel damage, personal injury, or death. Before your STRIKER Plus device can receive notifications, you must connect it to your mobile device and to the ActiveCaptain app.
Traditional Sonar View There are several full-screen views available, depending on the transducer that is connected. The full-screen Traditional sonar view shows a large image of the sonar readings from a transducer. The range scale along the right side of the screen shows the depth of detected objects as the screen scrolls from the right to the left.
NOTE: To receive Garmin ClearVü scanning sonar, you need a compatible transducer. For information about compatible transducers, go to garmin.com/transducers. Garmin ClearVü high-frequency sonar provides a detailed picture of the fishing environment around the boat in a detailed representation of structures the boat is passing over.
NOTE: To receive SideVü scanning sonar, you need a compatible SideVü transducer. For information about compatible transducers, go to garmin.com/transducers. SideVü scanning sonar technology shows you a picture of what lies to the sides of the boat. You can use this as a search tool to find structures and fish.
Split-Screen Frequency You can view two frequencies from the split frequency screen. Flasher The flasher shows sonar information on a circular depth scale, indicating what is beneath your boat. It is organized as a ring that starts at the top and progresses clockwise. Depth is indicated by the scale inside the ring.
Before connecting the transducer, you should select the transducer type. The transducer name should be listed on the label on the transducer cable, near the connector. This device is compatible with a range of accessory transducers, including Garmin ClearVü ™...
Sonar Frequencies NOTE: The frequencies available depend on the device and trandsucers being used. Adjusting the frequency helps adapt the sonar for your particular goals and the present depth of the water. Higher frequencies use narrow beam widths, and are better for high-speed operation and rough sea conditions. Bottom definition and thermocline definition can be better when using a higher frequency.
Adjusting the Zoom You can adjust the zoom manually by specifying the span and a fixed starting depth. For example, when the depth is 15 m and the starting depth is 5 m, the device displays a magnified area from 5 to 20 m deep. You also can allow the device to adjust the zoom automatically by specifying a span.
The Auto setting selects a scroll rate to match the boat speed, so targets in the water are drawn with the correct aspect ratio and appear less distorted. When viewing Garmin ClearVü or SideVü sonar views, it is recommend to use the Auto setting.
Sonar Appearance Settings From a sonar view, select > Sonar Setup > Appearance. Color Scheme: Sets the color scheme. Edge: Highlights the strongest signal from the bottom to help define the hardness or softness of the signal. A-Scope: Displays a vertical flasher along the right side of the screen that shows instantaneously the range to targets along a scale.
Sonar Noise Rejection Settings From a sonar view, select > Sonar Setup > Noise Reject. Interference: Adjusts the sensitivity to reduce the effects of interference from nearby sources of noise. When you adjust the interference setting from off through low , medium , and high , noise is...
GPS position, and a speed above 32 km/h (20 mph). You can view Garmin Quickdraw Contours in a combination screen or as a single view on the map. The amount of saved data depends on the memory available in the device, your sonar source, and the speed of your boat as you record data.
Community (Connecting to the Garmin Quickdraw Community with ActiveCaptain, page 18).

Setting the Keel Offset You can enter a keel offset to compensate the water depth reading for the transducer installation location. This allows you to view the depth of the water below the keel or the true depth of the water, depending on your needs.
Setting Alarms CAUTION The Beeper setting must be turned on to make alarms audible (Setting the Beeper, page 4). Failure to set audible alarms could lead to injury or property damage. Navigation Alarms Select Settings > Alarms > Navigation. Arrival: Sets an alarm to sound when you are within a specified distance or time from a turn or a destination. Anchor Drag: Sets an alarm to sound when you exceed a specified drift distance while anchored.
Connecting to a Garmin Device to Share User Data You can connect the STRIKER Plus device to a compatible Garmin device to share user data, such as waypoints. If the devices are mounted near each other, you can connect the blue and brown wires. If the devices are mounted too far apart for the wires to reach, you can connect the devices using a User Data Sharing Cable (010-12234-06).
2 Select an option. NOTICE If you select All, all the data you have saved will be removed, except Garmin Quickdraw contours data. If you are connected to another device and User Data Sharing is enabled, data is removed from all connected devices.
• If the device is receiving enough power but does not turn on, contact Garmin product support. The device withstands incidental exposure to water of up to 1 m for up to 30 min. For more information, go to www.garmin.com/waterrating.
