NOTICE
DO NOT depend solely upon the depth sounder
for water depth. It is important to have
navigational charts of the waters in which you
are operating.
Do not rely on depth sounder to avoid sub-
merged objects. Depth sounders provide a rela-
tive indication of water depth only.
6. Maintenance of HDR600 Depthsounder
If the unit comes into contact with salt spray, simply
wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth dampened in
fresh water. DO NOT USE a chemical glass cleaner
on the lens. Chemicals in the solution may cause
cracking in the lens of the unit.
When cleaning the LCD protective lens, use a cham-
ois and nonabrasive, mild cleaner. Do not wipe while
dirt or grease is on the lens. Be careful to avoid scratch-
ing the lens. Refer to the manufacturer's literature in-
cluded in the owner's packet for additional information.

1. Four Winns®/VDO Clock and Depth Operation
The LCD display has two main functions, clock and
depth functions. The operation and display of the func-
tions is controlled by the SET and MODE push but-
tons. The programming of the FOUR WINNS®/VDO
clock and depth operations of the instrument module is
described in the following:
Changing from clock to depth is done by pressing both
SET and MODE and holding them for 2 seconds. Press-
ing and holding both buttons again will toggle back to
clock function.
When using single push buttons, you will need to hold
the button in for 1/3rd of a second before the button will
be accepted. This is to prevent accidental inputs while
the boat is in motion.
2. Depth & Alarm
In depth mode, the display normally shows the current
depth. If dashes are shown, the depth sounder is not
generating valid data. If the current depth is less than
the alarm depth, the up & down arrow heads will flash
and the horn will chirp rapidly.
While in normal depth display, pressing the MODE but-
ton will cause the alarm depth to be displayed. After 10
seconds, the display will return to depth, or pressing
MODE a second time will return to depth display.
The
If the alarm is on (chirping), when the alarm depth is
displayed (using MODE) the audio part of the alarm
will be disabled. Reentering the alarm display will re-
enable the audio alarm. The flashing arrows will indi-
cate an alarm condition whether the audio is on or off.
If the audio alarm is disabled, it will be re-enabled auto-
matically when the boat moves into water deeper than
the alarm setting.
The alarm setting is always displayed as blinking dig-
its, the current depth is displayed as steady (not blink-
ing) digits. If the alarm screen is blank (set to zero),
the alarm is not enabled. If the depth screen shows
dashes the depth is zero or not found.
While in depth display, pressing the SET button will enter
the alarm setting mode. The alarm setting will blink
along with the down arrows on the display. Pressing
MODE will set the alarm deeper in 1 foot (0.3 meters)
steps. If the MODE button is held for 1 seconds the
digits will scroll.
