  • Page 5: How Sonar Works

    HOW SONAR WORKS Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder uses sonar to locate structure, bottom composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder consists of two components: the control head and the transducer.
  • Page 6 When all the echoes are viewed within the beam, an easy to interpret multicolor palette of sonar return signals appears on the Flasher Dial. The ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder plots the depth and intensity of sonar returns from the bottom, fish and structure. The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application.
  • Page 7 Your ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder uses selectable dual-frequency sonar with a wide area of coverage. Selectable dual-frequency gives you the option of two beams, and both beams will cover the bottom and provide high definition. The 9 degree center beam provides the highest definition, while the 19 degree beam provides wider coverage.

  • Page 8: How Ice Flashers Work

    Although the sonar part of an ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder works in the same way as any other Humminbird® control head, the return signal is displayed differently. The ICE Flasher Series™ LCD is modeled on the original analog displays and represents what is happening below the transducer the moment it happens.
