FC60X is designed to facilitate fishing on the bank, along the seashore,and on-board in a variety of water areas. We offer six months charge-free main-tenance against any damages induced by non-human factors;...
Packing list Packing list The following items are included in FC60X: 1) A FREECAST wireless remote sonar sensor 2) A handheld with 3” Dot matrix LCD 3) A copy of FC60X User’s Guide In the event that any of the items listed is found missing, call us immediately or log on to our website at www.goyachting.cn.
Installing the battery Installing the battery Warning: Warning: do not split the battery cover with strength in the vertical directiion! To take off the battery cover, press it and slide in the indicated direction 1. Turn the screw anti-clockwise with a screw driver. Then slide the battery cover towards the bottom of the unit and remove it from the main housing.
Attach the sensor to the fishing thread’s extreme and throw them into water as you do with float and lure. After switching on the main unit’s power,you are ready to fish. With sonar technologies employed, the FC60X sensor transmits ultrasonic waves to water, and the...

To pick up the sensor working in water, take hold of the antenna post at the sensor’s top. Warning Warning: FC60X is designed to work durably in normal service. However, in water areas where there are significant water level fluctuations, the sensor may be subject to collision with rocks, which will result in damages to the device.
Operational modes FC60X features two operational modes: 1) Sonar Graphic Mode FC60X renders real-time conditions at the sea bottom with sonar graphic. Cast the sensor into water, drag it slowly and at stable speed, and you can view accurate information displayed on the screen, including sea bottom contour, structure, depth, fish location, size, etc.
1. Power 1. Power supply supply The FC60X sensor is provided with a separate, built-in, and irremovable lithium battery that has a continuous service time of 550 hours in normal operation. When the battery’s service life ends and becomes out of service, it should be handled in a way compliant with local provisions regarding discarding used batteries and relevant electronic products.

1) When the sensor is casted into water, with the three pins touching water, the sensor begin working. 2) When the sensor is droped out from water, after wiping off the remained water on pin surface, the sensor stop working automatically. Three pins for electronic switch Warning: Warning: do not place your Freecast sensor in a wet area...

Using the Freecast sensor sing the Freecast sensor The two holes at the FC60X front end is for tying fishing thread. If you desire to use it in the Stationary float Mode, bind the fishing hook with light threads to the second hole.
Handle the sensor by the antenna post when trying to draw it out from the water Use a thread tied to the first hole, tackled to be rotatable Use the second hole in the Stationary float Mode, bind the fishing hook with light threads to the second hole.

the hook, fishing thread, and lure etc., can total up to 5.4~5.9g. With the sensor’s weight of 34g joining, the break-down becomes very likely.

Underwater conditions vary greatly, so some experience is needed to get the most benefits of FC60X. Use the message displayed in the screen as a helpful tools for your judgment, thus you could exert the full function of FC60X.
Menu O Menu Operation Instr peration Instruction uction The menu setting of FC60X is convenient and friendly. You can get various function setting by simple operation. 1. Power key: Power on / Power off Note: Note: to shut off the unit, press the Power key and keep it for 3s, then release it.

Note: Note: when you enter into a menu setting, pressing Ent key, then you are able to change the setting then the frame line of current menu will look thicker then non-setting. see following: thicker non-setting setting To exit the setting condition, press ENT key again. 3.
Sensitivity Sensitivity Sensitivity determines how echoes will be displayed on the screen. Increasing the sensitivity will make you see more details on the screen. In such situations when you see too much clutter on the screen, decreasing the sensitivity will play an effect.
6) Press EXIT to exit. Channel Channel Channel make it possible for you to switch using between the FC60X wireless model and another model NAKI8850B (provided that you have bought one). CH1 - for FC - for FC60X CH2 - for NAKI8850B...

Shallo Shallow The Fishfinder sound an alarm tone when the bottom goes shallower or equal than the alarm’s setting. You also could exit alarm mode by enter into Shallow menu and artificially increase the current depth alarm value to a safe grade.
Depth Range Depth Range Depth Range determine in which portion the bottom will display in the screen. (For example, if the actual depth is 10m, and the current Depth Range is 20m, then the bottom will display on 50% portion of the screen). To set the Depth Range: 1) Press MENU to enter into menu setting,...

A total weight over 5.8g can submerge the sensor and cause signal loss in consequence. e) With relatively quite water areas, FC60X is able to obtain a 130ft (40m) remote-control distance in maximum; with significant fluctuations on water surface, the distance may be reduced slightly.
Page 36
The FC60X sensor has a normal detection depth ranging from 1 to 100 feet (0.4~30m). Abnormal display and inconsistent depths may occur when used in areas with depth less than 0.3m.
Page 37
The picture vibrates because the sea bottom depth being scanned is changing. Since the depth range used by the current test signal and by the previous test signal differs, plus the varying height of the sea bed contour, pictures displayed on the screen will occupy different heights, causing the vibrating phenomenon.
