- Page 2 Warning! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.

Page 4: Section 1: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION HOW SONAR WORKS HOW SONAR WORKS Sonar uses sound waves to determine the presence and location of underwater objects. The time measured between the transmission of the sound wave, and the reception of any reflection can be used to determine distance. Analysis of the reflected signal can also be use to determine location, size, composition, etc. -
Page 5: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION HOW SONAR WORKS The transmit and receive cycle is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240' and back again in less than a second; so it is unlikely that your boat can “outrun”... -

USING THE DIGITAL DEPTH GAUGE WHAT YOU SEE ON-SCREEN WHAT YOU SEE ON-SCREEN The digital depth gauge uses a backlit 7- segment display in conjunction with a 3-button keypad to control all user functions. At initial power-up, the unit will begin normal operation and display the digital depth and the units of measure. -

USING THE DIGITAL DEPTH GAUGE CONTROL FUNCTIONS Units The UNITS Control Function selects the UNITS of measure for depth readout and alarm functions. The three settings available are Feet, Meters or Fathoms. Figure 7 Press SET until the UNITS function is activated on-screen. - Page 10 USING THE DIGITAL DEPTH GAUGE CONTROL FUNCTIONS For depth from the keel of the boat, accurately Positive Keel Offset measure the vertical distance between the face of the transducer and keel of the boat. This measurement will then be entered into the Keel Offset function as a negative (-) number.

MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Your digital depthsounder is designed to provide you with years of trouble-free operation with virtually no maintenance. Follow the simple procedures below to ensure that your digital depth gauge continues to deliver top performance. If the unit comes into contact with salt spray, simply wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth dampened in fresh water. -

MAINTENANCE TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING Do not attempt to repair the digital depth gauge yourself. There user serviceable parts inside, and special tools and techniques are required for reassembly to ensure the waterproof integrity of the housing. Repairs should be performed only by authorized technicians. - Page 13 MAINTENANCE TROUBLESHOOTING 2. There is no bottom reading visible on the display. There are a number of possible causes for this condition. If the loss of bottom information occurs only at high boat speeds, then a transducer adjustment is needed. Check the transducer cable connection on the back of the unit and ensure that the cable has not been cut or pinched.
