Thank you for purchasing a Lowrance product! You won't find another

combination GPS and sonar unit with these features and power for the

money! Each of our products is designed and manufactured to precision

tolerances for long life under extreme conditions. We hope that you'll en-

joy this product for years.

This manual covers both the Lowrance LMS-160 and GlobalMap 1600.

Both have 12-channel GPS receivers, however, the LMS-160 also has a

sonar built into the unit. The installation of these two products vary due to

this difference, otherwise the operation of the two units (except for sonar)

is virtually identical.

No matter which unit you own, please read the installation section care-

fully, especially the transducer section. Many times future trouble can be

avoided by carefully locating and wiring the equipment.

If you do have problems, please read the troubleshooting section in the

back of this manual.You may find the solution to your problem there.The

Lowrance customer service department also has representatives avail-

able to answer your questions on our toll-free telephone lines. See the

back page of this manual for more information.

We want your experience with our equipment to be a happy one. Good

luck, and good fishing.

INSTALLATION

Mounting - All Units

Install the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance

behind it when it is tilted for the best viewing angle. Holes in the bracket

base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting.You may need to place

a piece of plywood on the back of thin fiberglass panels to secure the

mounting hardware. Make certain there is enough room behind the unit to

attach the power and transducer cables.

The gimbal bracket will also accept the GBSA-1 swivel bracket adapter

that lets you rotate the unit a full 360°.

The smallest hole that allows one power connector to pass through is 3/

4". After the hole is drilled, push other connectors up through the hole

first, then drop the power cable down through it.

Power Connections - All Units

This unit works from a twelve-volt battery system. For the best results,

attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can attach the power

cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have problems

with electrical interference. Therefore, it’s safer to go ahead and attach

the power cable directly to the battery. If the cable is not long enough,

splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The power cable has two wires, red and

black. Red is the positive lead, black is negative or ground. Make certain

to attach the in-line fuse holder to the red lead as close to the power

source as possible. For example, if you have to extend the power cable to

the battery or power buss, attach one end of the fuse holder directly to the

battery or power buss.This will protect both the unit and the power cable

in the event of a short. Use a 3-amp fuse.

IMPORTANT!

Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cable!

Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty.

If possible, route the unit’s power cable and transducer cable away from

other wiring. VHF radio antenna cables radiate noise when transmitting,

so be certain to keep the sonar’s wires away from it. You may need to

route the sonar unit’s power cable directly to the battery to isolate it from

other wiring on the boat.

GPS Antenna Installation - All Units

The antenna can be mounted on any flat surface, provided you have ac-

cess behind the surface for the mounting screws. A magnet is also sup-

plied that can be epoxied to the bottom of the antenna. A pole mount

adapter lets you mount the antenna on a pole or swivel mount that uses

standard 1" - 14 threads.The antenna has 25 feet of cable. Do not cut or

splice this cable.

Surface Mount

The antenna can be easily installed on any flat surface that is at least 90

mm (3 1/2") wide. Make certain that a clear view of the sky is available at

the selected location. Since the GPS signals travel “line-of-sight”, nearly

anything blocking the antenna can potentially obstruct the unit from find-

ing a satellite.Do not mount it in front of radar antennas.They radiate high

energy that can interfere with the GPS signal.

Once you’ve determined the mounting location, use the template on page

51 in this manual to drill the holes for the screws. The screws, supplied

with this antenna, are 4mm x 30mm. (about 1 1/8" long).Drill 4.75 mm (3/

16") holes for the mounting screws. If you route the cable through the

mounting surface, you’ll need to drill a 25 mm (1") hole for the cable.

There is a notch in the antenna housing that allows the cable to pass

through to the outside, instead of routing it through the mounting surface.

After drilling the holes, pass the o-ring over the antenna cable and press

it into the groove on the bottom of the antenna housing. Now attach the

antenna to the mounting surface, using 4mm screws and the supplied

lock washers. Route the cable to the GPS receiver and the antenna in-

stallation is finished.

Magnet Mount

A magnet lets you temporarily mount the an-

tenna on any ferrous metal surface.(such as a

car) To use the magnet, simply epoxy it to the

bottom of the antenna, using the epoxy sup-

plied with your antenna.Carefully follow the in-

structions on the epoxy package and apply it

to the magnet. Then carefully press the mag-

net to the bottom of the antenna housing. After

the epoxy cures (in about 30 minutes), the an-

tenna is ready for use.

MAGNET

Pole Mount

The antenna attaches to the pole mount adapter

with the supplied 4 mm screws. You can route

the antenna cable through the slot in the side of

the antenna, or pass it down through the pole

mount adapter. A slot next to the threads in the

pole mount adapter places the cable next to the

pole where it can be easily routed down the pole

to the GPS receiver. The threads on the pole

mount adapter accept a standard marine antenna

mount.

POLE MOUNT

SPEED/TEMPERATURE SENSOR - LMS-160 ONLY

If you’re installing a temperature or speed/temperature sensor, read the

sensor’s mounting instructions before making the installation. Route the

sensor’s cable directly to the LMS-160 and plug it into the connector on

the NMEA/DGPS cable. The speed/temp sensor plugs into the optional

SAM sonar module on the GlobalMap 1600.

TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION - LMS-160 ONLY

(Note: A transducer is not included with all units. You may need to pur-

chase the transducer separately.)

The HS-WSBK supplied with this unit is a transom mount transducer. It

can be installed on any outboard or stern-drive (inboard\outboard) pow-

ered boat. It can also be permanently installed inside the boat to “shoot-

through” the hull on some fiberglass boats.

The “kick-up” mounting bracket helps prevent damage if the transducer

strikes an object while the boat is moving. If the transducer does “kick-

up”, the bracket can easily be pushed back in place without tools.

Read this section carefully before attempting the installation. Determine

which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Remember, the

transducer location is the most critical part of a sonar installation.

Location - General

1. The transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow of

water at all times. If the transducer is not placed in a smooth flow of

water, interference will show on the sonar’s display in the form of ran-

dom lines or dots whenever the boat is moving.

2. The transducer should be installed with it’s face pointing straight down,

if possible.

3. Make certain the transducer’s location doesn’t interfere with the trailer

or hauling of the boat. Also, don’t mount it closer than approximately

one foot from the engine’s lower unit. This will prevent cavitation inter-

ference with the propeller.Typically, the transducer should be mounted

as deep in the water as possible. This increases the chance that it will

be in the water in high speed and reduces the possiblity of air bubble

interference.

POOR ANGLE

GOOD LOCATION

4. If possible, route the transducer cable away from other wiring on the

boat. Electrical interference fromVHF radio, engine wiring, bilge pumps,

and areators can be displayed on the sonar’s screen.Use caution when

routing the transducer cable around these wires.

CAUTION!

Transducer Assembly and Mounting

The best way to install this transducer is to loosely assemble all of the

parts first, then place the transducer’s bracket against the transom and

see if you can move the transducer so that it’s parallel with the ground.

1. Press the two small plastic ratchets into the sides of the metal bracket

as shown below.Notice there are letters molded into each ratchet.Place

each ratchet into the bracket with the letter “A” aligned with the dot

stamped into the metal bracket. This position sets the transducer’s

coarse angle adjustment for a fourteen (14) degree transom.Most out-

board and stern-drive transoms have a fourteen degree angle.

DOT

2. Slide the transducer between the two ratchets.Temporally slide the bolt

though the transducer assembly and hold it against the transom.Look-

ing at the transducer from the side, check to see if it will adjust so that

its face is parallel to the ground. If it does, then the “A” position is cor-

rect for your hull. If the transducer’s face isn’t parallel with the ground,

remove the transducer and ratchets from the bracket. Place the ratch-

ets into the holes in the bracket with the letter “B” aligned with the dot

stamped in the bracket. Reassemble the transducer and bracket and

place them against the transom. Again, check to see if you can move

the transducer so it’s parallel with the ground. If it does, then go to step

3. If it doesn’t, repeat step 2, but use a different letter until you can

place the transducer on the transom correctly.

transducer as shown below. Don’t tighten the lock nut at this time.

4. Hold the transducer and bracket assembly against the transom. The

transducer should be roughly parallel to the ground.The bottom of the

transducer bracket should be in line with the bottom of the hull.Don’t let

the bracket extend below the hull! Mark the center of the slots for the

mounting holes. Drill two 5/32" holes in the marked locations for the

#10 screws supplied with the transducer.

TRANSOM

SIDE VIEW

5. Attach the transducer to the transom. Slide the transducer up or down

until it’s aligned properly on the transom as shown above. Tighten the

bracket’s mounting screws. Adjust the transducer so that it’s parallel to

the ground and tighten the lock nut until it touches the flat washer, then

add 1/4 turn. Don’t over tighten the lock nut! If you do, the transducer

won’t “kick-up” if it strikes an object in the water.

6. Route the transducer cable to the sonar unit.If possible, route the trans-

ducer cable away from other wiring on the boat. Electrical noise from

the engine’s wiring, bilge pumps, VHF radio wires and cables, and aera-

tors can be picked up by the sonar.Use caution when routing the trans-

ducer cable around these wires.

IMPORTANT!

Clamp the transducer cable to the transom close to the transducer. This

can prevent the transducer from entering the boat if it is knocked off at

high speed.

7. Make a test run to determine the results. If the bottom is lost at high

speed, or if noise appears on the display, try sliding the transducer

bracket down.This puts the transducer deeper into the water, hopefully

below the turbulence causing the noise. Don’t allow the transducer

bracket to go below the bottom of the hull!

Periodically wash the transducer’s face with soap and water to remove

any oil film that may collect. Oil and dirt on the face will reduce the sensi-

tivity or may even prevent operation.

INTRODUCTION TO GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the United States

Department of Defense as a 24-hour a day, 365 days a year global navi-

gation system for the military.Civilian availability was added (but with less

accuracy) using the same satellites.Twenty-four satellites orbit the Earth.

Three of these satellites are spares, unused until needed.The rest virtu-

ally guarantee that at least four satellites are in view nearly anywhere on

Earth at all times.

The system requires three satellites in order to determine a position.This

is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and

elevation, (your height above sea level - also called altitude.) called a 3D

fix.

Remember, the unit must have a clear view of the satellites in order to

receive their signals. Unlike radio or television, GPS works at very high

frequencies. The signals can be blocked easily by trees, buildings, even

your body.

Never use this GPS receiver while operating a vehicle!

Like most GPS receivers, this unit doesn’t have a compass or any other

navigation aid built inside. It relies solely on the signals from the satellites

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

to calculate a position. Speed, direction of travel, and distance are all

calculated from position information.Therefore, in order for it to determine

direction of travel, you must be moving and the faster, the better. This is

not to say that it won’t work at trolling speeds - it will.There will simply be

more “wandering” of the data shown on the display.

Another factor that greatly influences the receiver’s ability to determine

position is SA.The United States government intentionally degrades the

satellite’s signal for civilian users. They introduce small errors into the

signals that makes the GPS receiver less accurate.These errors are called

selective availability, or SA. How bad is it? They guarantee that the posi-

tion reported by a GPS receiver that meets their specifications is within

100 meters horizontally and 150 meters vertically 95% of the time. (The

position can be worse than that the other 5% of the time.) In other words,

the position shown on your receiver is within 100 meters of your actual

position, 95% of the time.That’s over 300 feet! Not exactly pinpoint accu-

racy, but then few people need positioning accuracy greater than this.

However, if you do want better performance, (and who doesn’t?) many

manufacturers (including Lowrance) sell a DGPS receiver that attaches

to your GPS receiver.The DGPS system transmits correction signals that

nullify the effects of SA. The DGPS receiver takes signals from these

land-based transmitters and gives them to the GPS receiver which then

uses them to show a more accurate position.The ironic part is the federal

government implemented SA and is also operating many DGPS transmit-

ters. (You can use the signals from all of the Coast Guard DGPS stations

for free, by the way.) The downside to this is it requires another piece of

electronic gear (the DGPS receiver). And you have to be close enough to

a station to receive the DGPS signals.

Generally, you find that using your GPS receiver without DGPS is both

easy and amazingly accurate. It’s easily the most accurate method of

electronic navigation available to the general public today. Remember,

however, that this receiver is only a tool. Always have another method of

navigation available, such as a chart or map and a compass.

Also remember that this unit will always show navigation information in

the shortest line from your present position to a waypoint, regardless of

terrain! It only calculates position, it can’t know what’s between you and

your camp, for example.It’s up to you to safely navigate around obstacles,

no matter how you’re using this product.

GPS OPERATION

There are 12 keys on the keyboard.You can navigate through the menus,

adjust the chart’s cursor, and enter data using the arrow keys. The five

major modes of operation are accessed using the PAGES key. Press the

MENU key to select or adjust a feature from a list. The Z-IN and Z-OUT

keys zoom-in or zoom-out the view on the plotter screen. The ENT and

EXIT keys are used to enter or clear data or screens. Save and edit

waypoints using the WPT key. The PWR key turns the unit on and off.

Pressing it once while the unit is operating turns on the screen’s back-

light. To prevent an accidental shutdown, you must hold the PWR key

down for a few seconds to turn the unit off.

Most of the unit’s features are found on “menus’.You can view the menus

by pressing the MENU key. This product has “Intelligent Menus”. There

are many menus that pertain to only the sonar, for example. When you

press the MENU key and the sonar is showing, menu items for the sonar

show in addition to the normal menus. For example, if the sonar is show-

ing, and you press the MENU key, GPS map items won’t show on the list.

This helps you find the needed item without scrolling through unneces-

sary menus.

To turn the unit on, simply press the PWR key. A

GPS logo screen appears, then the screen simi-

lar to the one at right appears. Read the mes-

sage on the screen, then press the EXIT key to

erase it or wait a few seconds and it automati-

cally clears. The screen shown below appears

next.

This screen appears each time you turn the unit

on.It shows a graphical view of the satellites that

are in view. Each satellite is shown on the circu-

lar chart relative to your position.The point in the

center of the chart is directly overhead.The small

inner ring represents 45° above the horizon and

the large ring represents the horizon. North is at

the top of the screen. You can use this to see

which satellites are obstructed by obstacles in

your immediate area if you hold the unit facing

north.

The GPS receiver is tracking satellites that are surrounded by a black

box. The receiver hasn't locked onto a satellite if it's number isn't sur-

rounded by a box, therefore it isn’t being used to solve the position.

Beneath the circular graph are the bar graphs, one for each satellite in

view. Since the unit has twelve channels, it can dedicate one channel per

visible satellite. Therefore, if only six satellites are visible, only six bar

charts show at the bottom of the screen.The wider the bar on the graph,

the better the unit is receiving the signals from the satellite.

The number in the upper left corner is the “expected horizontal position

error” or expected error from a benchmark location. In other words, if the

expected error shows 50 feet, then the position shown by the unit is esti-

mated to be within 50 feet of the actual location. However, this number is

only valid if you’re using DGPS or if S/A is turned off. Due to S/A, the

accuracy can only be less than 100 meters, 95% of the time, per U.S.

government specifications. Although the expected error is not accurate

unless you have a DGPS receiver, it does give you an indicator of the fix

quality the unit currently has.The smaller the expected error number, the

better (and more accurate) the fix is. If the expected error flashes, then

the unit hasn't locked onto the satellites, and the number shown isn't valid.

A light bulb indicator at the top right corner of the screen appears when

the backlights are on.

FINDINGYOUR POSITION

Auto Search

To lock onto the satellites, the GPS receiver needs to know it’s current

position, UTC time, and date.(Elevation (altitude) is also used in the equa-

tion, but it’s rarely required to determine a position.) It needs this data so

that it can calculate which satellites should be in view. It then searches for

only those satellites. When your GPS receiver is turned on for the first

time, it doesn’t know what your position or elevation (altitude) is. It does

know the current UTC time and date since these were programmed into it

at the factory and an internal clock keeps the time while the unit is turned

off. It begins searching for the satellites using the above data that it ac-

quired the last time it was turned on. This probably was at the factory.

Since it’s almost certain that you’re not at our factory, it’s probably looking

for the wrong satellites. If it doesn’t find the satellites it’s looking for after

five minutes, it switches to Auto Search.The receiver looks for any satel-

lite in the sky. Due to advanced technology, the auto search time has

shrunk to about five minutes, so the longest time you should ever have to

wait is ten minutes from the time you turn the unit on until it locks onto the

satellites and shows a position. Once the unit locks onto the satellites, it

should take less than a minute to find your position the next time it’s turned

on, provided you haven’t moved more than approximately 100 miles from

the last location it was used.

Manual Initialization

If you don’t want to wait for the Auto Search, then you may be able to

speed up the initialization process by using the manual initialization fea-

ture.Using this feature tells the unit it’s approximate position.Once it knows

it’s location, it determines exactly which satellites should be in view and

starts looking only for those satellites.

To manually initialize the unit, press the MENU

key.Now press the down arrow key until the “GPS

SETUP” label is highlighted. Press the right ar-

row key. The “INITIALIZE GPS” label is high-

lighted.Press the right arrow key again.A screen

similar to the one at right appears.Use the arrow

keys to move the crosshairs to your approximate

location on the map. You can use the ZIN and

ZOUT keys to enlarge the map which makes it

easier and faster to find your location. The box at the top of the screen

shows the latitude and longitude of the cursor position, along with the

distance and bearing from the last known position. Once you have the

crosshairs on your location, press the ENT key. The unit returns to the

satellite status screen.

Using the manual initialization method loads a position that’s close to

yours into the GPS receiver. It should now have position, time, and date,

thereby giving it the data it needs to determine which satellites are in

view. Once the satellites are known, the receiver searches for only those

satellites, making a lock faster than an auto search method.

All position and navigation data flashes until the unit acquires a position.

Do not rely on any data that is flashing! When the numbers are flashing,

they represent the last known values when the unit lost it’s lock on the

satellites.

Position Aquisition

When the receiver locks onto the satellites and calculates a position, it

shows the message “Position Acquired” on the screen. Once the unit has

acquired the satellites and the position acquired message appears, it’s

ready for use.

(Note: The altitude data may still flash even if the unit shows a “Position

Acquired” message and all other data is not flashing. The unit must be

locked onto at least four satellites to determine altitude.It only takes three

satellites to determine position.You can navigate with this unit if the alti-

tude is flashing, simply ignore the altitude display until it quits flashing.)

REMEMBER, DO NOT NAVIGATE WITH THIS UNIT UNTIL THE NUM-

BERS STOP FLASHING!

MODES

The LMS-160 has five modes: status, navigation, sonar, map, and win-

dow groups. The GlobalMap 1600 has four - no sonar mode. Use the

Navigation

There are two different navigation screens.Nav screen number one shows

a graphical view of your trip, Nav screen number 2 shows all navigation

details in large digital numbers. You can also customize both navigation

screens to show data other than the default.See the “Programming Boxes”

section for more information.

Nav-1

This screen has a compass rose that shows not

only your direction of travel, but also the direc-

tion to a recalled waypoint.The navigation screen

looks like the one at right when you’re not navi-

gating to a waypoint. Your position is shown by

an arrow in the center of the screen. Your trail

history, or path you’ve taken is depicted by the

line extending from the arrow.The arrow pointing

down at the top of the compass rose indicates

the current track (direction of travel) you are taking.This is also shown in

the “TRK” (track) box in the upper right corner of the screen. On the ex-

ample shown at right, the track is 240°. The current ground speed (GS)

shows in the box in the lower center of this screen.

When navigating to a waypoint, Nav screen number one looks like the

one at the top of the next page. Bearing to the destination waypoint is in

the box in the upper left corner. Bearing is also shown by the large arrow

pointing up towards the compass, above the

present position arrow.Distance from the present

position to the waypoint (DIS) shows beneath the

compass on the lower left side of the screen.Next

to the distance box is estimated time enroute

(ETE). This is the estimated time that it will take

you to arrive at the destination, based upon cur-

rent track and ground speed. In the lower right

corner is the course (CRS) box showing the di-

rection from your starting position to the waypoint. Remember, a course

is a proposed path from the starting position to the destination. Track is

your actual direction of travel.

Lines on either side of the present position show the current cross track

error range. Cross track error is the distance you are off-course to the

side of the desired course line.The course line is an imaginary line drawn

from your position when you started navigating to the destination way-

point. It’s shown on the screen as a vertical dotted line.The default for the

cross track error range is 0.20 mile.For example,

if the present position symbol touches the right

cross track error line, then you are .25 mile to the

right of the desired course.You need to steer left

to return to the desired course.You can use the

ZIN or ZOUT keys to change the cross track er-

ror range.A circle depicting your destination (way-

point) appears on the screen as you approach

the waypoint as shown on the screen at right.

Nav-2

This navigation screen shows all navigation in-

formation in large digital numbers. To view this

screen, press the PAGES key, then press the up

arrow key until the “NAV 1” label is highlighted.

While it’s highlighted, press the right arrow key.

The screen shown at right appears. Press the

EXIT key to erase the menu.

This screen is composed of eight digital boxes.

Track (TRK) and ground speed (GS) data are the only ones that show

data if you’re not navigating to a waypoint. If you are navigating to a way-

point, then bearing (BRG), distance to waypoint (DIS), estimated time en

route (ETE), cross track error (XTK), estimated time of arrival (ETA), and

the CDI also operate.

Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)

Once navigation to a waypoint is established, the CDI shows your dis-

tance to the left or right of the desired course.The vertical line in the box

shows both the direction you must steer to

get back on course and the distance to the

course line. For example, if you’re travel-

ling straight towards the destination, from

the start, then the line stays in the center.

If you drift off course to the right, the line

moves to the left. This signifies that you

need to steer to the left to get back on course.This is called “chasing the

needle”.If you steer towards the line (needle), you’ll always be heading in

the correct direction to get back on course.

The CDI’s range shows beneath the CDI label. On the above screen, the

CDI range is .20 mile, which is the default. You can adjust the range by

selecting “ALARMS” on the main menu, then “GPS ALARMS”. Highlight

the “CDI DIS” label, then use the left or right arrow key to adjust it. The

CDI range is also shown by the dotted lines at the far left and right side of

the CDI indicator. If the solid line is on either of the dotted lines, then you

are 0.20 mile off course. Remember, if the line moves to the left, then you

are too far to the right of the desired course line and vice-versa.

Using the CDI with a mapping screen helps you visualize your position in

relation to the course.The screen on the right shows that we are off course

to the right.The vertical bar has moved to the left side of the CDI, showing

the direction to the desired course line.The CDI gives you a quick, easy to

read visual indicator of your relationship between your direction of travel

and the desired direction.

Map

This unit has a ground map of the world built inside. This map has the

majority of its detail in far southern Canada, the continental United States

and Hawaiian islands, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, and Bermuda.The

map screens show your course and track from a “birds-eye” view. If you’re

navigating to a waypoint, the map shows your

starting location, present position, course line,

and destination.You don’t have to navigate to a

waypoint, however, to use the map.

Using the map is as simple as pressing the

PAGES key, then highlighting “MAP 1”. A screen

similar to the one at right appears. The arrow

position.It points in the direction you’re travelling.The solid line extending

from the arrow is your plot trail, or path you’ve taken. The plotter’s range

shows in the lower left corner of the screen. In this example, the plotter’s

range is four miles from the left edge of the map to the right.

MAP-1

MAP-2

MAP-3

There are three different mapping screens.To view the other map screens,

press the PAGES key, highlight the MAP label, and press the right arrow

key until the desired map screen appears. Press the EXIT key to erase

the menu. Map-2 has navigation data added at the right side. The data

includes bearing to waypoint (BRG), track (TRK), distance to waypoint

(DIS), ground speed (GS), a steering arrow (shows the direction to the

destination when the top of the screen is pointing in your direction of

travel), and a CDI.

Map-3 is similar to Map-2, except it shows sonar

data on the right side. When the MENU key is

pressed while Map-3 is showing, the screen

shown at right appears. The "ACTIVE MODE"

menu at the top of this screen lets you switch the

arrow and zoom keys between the GPS side and

the sonar side of Map-3.

The Z-IN and Z-OUT keys zoom-in and out all

maps to enlarge or reduce their coverage area.The available ranges are:

0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40,

60, 80, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, and

4000 miles.

Cursor

Pressing an arrow key turns on two dotted lines that intersect at the present

position symbol. These lines are called a “cursor” and have a variety of

uses.

To turn the cursor on, simply press the arrow key in the direction you want

the cursor to move. This lets you view areas on the plotter that are away

from your present position. The zoom-in and

zoom-out keys work from the cursor’s position

when it’s active - not the present position. You

can zoom in on any detail, anywhere.The cursor

can also place icons and waypoints.

When the cursor is used with map-1, it’s posi-

tion, bearing, and distance from your present

position show at the top of the screen.

Cursor Distance

You can use the cursor to find the distance be-

tween two points. While the cursor is showing,

press the MENU key, then select "FIND DIS-

TANCE".The unit returns to the mapping screen.

Now move the cursor to the first location that you

want to measure the distance from and press the

ENT key. Now move the cursor to the position

that you want to measure the distance to. A line

is drawn from the point when the ENT key was

pressed to the cursor's present location.The distance covered by the line

shows at the top of the screen. To measure another two points, simply

move the cursor and press the ENT key.

Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor. The unit centers your present

position on the screen after erasing the cursor.

MAP SETUP

The map has many customization options. To

change them, first press the MENU key while a

map is showing on the screen. The map setup

label is highlighted. Press the right arrow key. A

screen similar to the one at right appears.

Map Options

The following map options are listed under the “Map Options” menu:Map

Orientation, Auto Zoom, Range Rings, and Latitude/Longitude Grids.

Map Orientation

By default, this receiver shows the map with north always at the top of the

screen.This is the way most maps and charts are printed on paper.This

is fine if you’re always travelling due north. What you see to your left cor-

responds to the left side of the map, to your right is shown on the right

side of the map, and so on. However, if you travel any other direction, the

map doesn’t line up with your view of the world.

To correct this problem, a track-up mode rotates the map as you turn.

Thus, what you see on the left side of the screen should always be to your

left, and so on.A course-up mode keeps the map at the same orientation

as the initial bearing to the waypoint.

NORTH-UP

TRACK-UP

COURSE-UP

In the north-up view shown at left, we’re travelling east. In this view, the

present position indicator appears to move towards the right side of the

screen.

In the track-up view, the present position moves straight towards the top

of the display. A “N” shows to help you see which direction is north when

the track-up mode is on. Remember, in the track-up mode, the screen

rotates as you change direction. It always keeps your direction of travel

(track) heading towards the top of the screen.

In the course-up mode, the screen is locked into your original bearing to

the recalled waypoint, regardless of your track.

To select the desired mode, first press the MENU key, select “MAP 1

SETUP”, then select “MAP OPTIONS”. Finally, select “ORIENTATION”

and press the right or left arrow key until the desired mode appears.Press

the EXIT key to erase this menu.

Range Rings/Grid Lines

The map screen can be customized with rings

that are 1/4 of the range and/or grids that divide

the plotter into equal segments of latitude and

longitude.To do this, press the MENU key, select

“Map 1 Setup”, then “Map Options”.Highlight the

desired option, then press the right arrow key to

turn it on.Press the EXIT key repeatedly to erase

the menus. The screen at right shows grids.

AUTOZOOM

This receiver has an autozoom feature that eliminates much of the button

pushing that competitive units force you to make. It works in conjunction

with the navigation features. First, recall a waypoint. (See the waypoint

section for more information on navigating to a waypoint.) Then, with the

autozoom mode on, the unit zooms out until the entire course shows,

from the present position to the destination waypoint (recalled waypoint).

As you travel towards the destination, the unit automatically begins zoom-

ing in, one zoom range at a time, keeping the destination on the screen.

The screens below show a slice of the progression of a trip near a lake.

Screen number one is the start and is on the 3 mile range. Intermediate

stages progressively zoom in as it gets closer to the destination.

You can send an enhanced map from the enclosed CD-ROM to the unit

using a personal computer.

Currently, the MapSelect CD has the following databases:

IMS SmartMap™ data covers the 48 contiguous states and are broken

down into 64 different mapping regions. Contained in this database are

the names and locations of over 140,000 cities; 30,000 national, state

and county parks; 120,000 inland bodies of water plus coastal waters out

to 25 miles; as well as nearly all state and federal highways, interstates

and routes.

IMS WorldMap™ data covers 35 specific regions around the globe in-

cluding Canada, Europe, Indonesia and Australia. Contained in this data-

base are the names and locations of cities, towns, provinces and states,

plus major roadways including two- and four-lane highways, inland water-

ways and coastal hydrography.

Coastal nav aid data covers coastal regions of the 49 U.S.States (exclud-

ing Hawaii), the District of Columbia, the Great Lakes and many large

coastal rivers and other large inland lakes. Contained are approximately

60,000 marine navigation aids.Each navigation aid is displayed as a small

symbol, with information useful to the navigator (including light type (flash-

ing or continuous), light color, and other aid markings) below the symbol.

To use one of these, install the software from the CD-ROM onto your PC

WAYPOINTS

This GPS receiver gives you the ability to create your own database of

locations, called “waypoints’.You can save your present position, cursor

position, or enter a coordinate and save it as a waypoint. For example,

you may wish to store the location of your parked car as a waypoint be-

fore starting on a hike.When you want to return to the car, all you have to

do is recall the waypoint and the unit will show distance and bearing from

your present position to the car. This unit stores up to 750 waypoints.

Waypoint Menu

With few exceptions, in order to save, modify, or

recall a waypoint, you’ll use the waypoint menu,

shown at right. To see this menu, simply press

theWPT key.The current waypoint number shows

at the top of the screen. Its name appears be-

neath the “GO TO WAYPOINT” label. The

waypoint’s position, distance and bearing from

your present position to the waypoint, and the

date and time the waypoint was saved show at

the bottom of the screen. It’s icon shows just to the right of the date and

time. In short, all of the detail about the waypoint shows on this screen.

SavingYour Present Position as a Waypoint

(Quick Save Method)

To save your present position, simply press the WPT key twice.Your cur-

rent position is placed into the first available waypoint number on the list.

A message appears on the display telling you the waypoint number it just

used. This also momentarily places you in the waypoint menu. Anytime

this menu is showing, simply press the WPT key once and the unit will

store your present position on the waypoint list.

Saving the Cursor Position as aWaypoint

When the cursor is showing on the map and you press the WPT key

twice, the cursor’s position is placed into the first available waypoint num-

ber. In the example screen shown at the top of the next page, the cursor

is placed at the desired location. Pressing the WPT twice causes way-

point number 6 to be placed at the cursor’s crosshairs. (Waypoint 6 was

the next available waypoint number.) A message appears on the display

telling you the waypoint number it just used. Wait a few seconds and the

menu will clear automatically. Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor.

SavingYour Present Position as a Waypoint

(Select Number Method)

The method shown previously doesn’t let you choose the waypoint num-

ber.You can pick the waypoint number, then save your present or cursor

position.To save your present position, press theWPT key once.(If you’re

saving the cursor position, first move the cursor to the desired location,

then press the WPT key.) A screen similar to the one on the previous

page appears.

Highlight the “WAYPOINT #” label at the top of

the screen.Press the right or left arrow keys until

the desired waypoint number appears that you

wish to save your present (or cursor) location

under.Waypoint number 4 is used in this example.

Now select “CREATE WAYPOINT” . A screen

similar to the one at right appears. Finally, high-

light “CURRENT POSITION” and press the right

arrow key.The unit returns to the waypoint screen

with the position saved under the selected waypoint number.

Saving a New Position

To save a position other than the cursor’s or the

present position as a waypoint, first select the

waypoint number as described on the previous

page. Next, select “CREATE WAYPOINT”. The

screen shown at the bottom of the previous page

appears.Select “ENTER POSITION”.The screen

shown at right appears. Using the arrow keys,

enter the latitude and longitude of the position

that you want to save. (Note: latitude and longi-

tude is the default, however if UTM or other position format is in use, this

screen will let you enter the position in the format that’s currently in use.)

Waypoint Averaging

Although electronic position finding devices such as this one show the

position in precise digital numbers, there is some ambiguity in the dis-

played position.With position pinning turned off, you can see this by watch-

ing the position displayed on the unit move while you’re standing still.This

is due to many factors; SA, atmospheric conditions, the number of satel-

lites being tracked and their location relative to your position, and so on.

However, even with SA turned on, this GPS receiver can show surpris-

ingly accurate position information. If you wish to increase the accuracy

of a saved position, use the waypoint averaging method. This method

requires the unit to remain untouched at the location that you want to

save, preferably for at least one hour. Longer times will result in a better

position. The unit averages all of the positions reported by its GPS re-

ceiver, resulting in typically higher position accuracy.

To use this feature, first press the WPT key and

select a waypoint number, then select “CREATE

WAYPOINT”.The screen in the middle of the pre-

vious page appears. Now select “AVERAGE

POSITION”.The screen shown at right appears.

Your present position shows at the top of the

screen. A box with a plotter graphically shows

the movement of your average position.The num-

ber of positions or points taken appears next to

the plotter. The position is updated once per second. Now place the unit

where it has an unobstructed view of the sky. At the end of the position

gathering time, press the ENT key to save the averaged position.

Project Position

You can save a waypoint even if you don’t know it’s position or location on

the map.This unit lets you project the location of a waypoint from a known

waypoint using only bearing and distance from the known waypoint.This

is useful if you don’t know the latitude/longitude of a location, but you do

know the distance and bearing from a saved waypoint or your own posi-

tion.

(Note: To project a waypoint from your present

position, you must first save your present posi-

tion as a waypoint.)

To use this feature, press the WPT key, then se-

lect a waypoint number that you want to save the

projected waypoint under. Waypoint 7 is used in

this example.Now select “CREATEWAYPOINT”,

then “PROJECT POSITION”.The screen shown

at the the bottom of the previous page appears.

The unit needs a location (reference waypoint)

to project the new waypoint from.The default ref-

erence is waypoint number one. Highlight the

“REFERENCE WPT” label on the Project WPT

menu and press the right arrow key. The screen

below right appears. Select a waypoint using ei-

ther the waypoint number or waypoint list. In this

example, waypoint 4 was chosen. When you’ve

chosen the waypoint, highlight the “SET REFER-

ENCE” label and press the right arrow key. The

unit returns to the Project WPT screen shown

above. The starting waypoint you chose shows

in the middle of this screen.Now set the distance

from the starting waypoint to the projected way-

point by highlighting the “SET DISTANCE” label

and pressing the right arrow key. Use the arrow

keys to set the distance, then press the ENT key

when you’re finished. The unit returns to the

Project Position screen. Now enter the bearing

from the starting waypoint to the projected way-

point by selecting “SET BEARING” from the

Project Position screen.

Once you’ve entered the bearing, the unit returns

to the Project Position screen with the distance

and bearing from your present position showing at the bottom of the screen,

as shown at right. In this example, the new waypoint is 3.53 miles on a

bearing of 68° from our position. Now press the ENT key.The unit saves

the projected location under the waypoint number that you picked at the

beginning.

SELECTING AWAYPOINT

In order to edit or navigate to a waypoint, you

must first select it. There are three ways to do

this:by waypoint number, waypoint list, or search

by name. All selection methods are on the main

Navigating to a Waypoint using the Map

The unique “birds-eye” view used by the map gives you an easy way to

navigate to a waypoint. On the map screen shown above, the arrow is

your present position.The box with the “S” in it was your starting location

when the waypoint was recalled. The dotted line is called a course line

and is the shortest path from the starting location to the destination.The

“D” is the cursor destination, when the cursor position is used as a desti-

nation. If you follow the course line, you’ll reach the destination, covering

the shortest distance in the least time.

CAUTION!

This product does NOT take land features or any other feature into ac-

count when it projects the course line on the screen. Use caution when

Follow a Route - Direct To Method

Before starting the route, you’ll need to decide if you want to start at the

first waypoint and travel forward to the last waypoint or start at the last

waypoint in the route and travel backwards (reverse) to the first waypoint.

The default is forward.You can also start at the closest waypoint to your

position, then travel forward or reverse through the route using the “AUTO

START” feature.

To follow a route, first select the route number that you wish to follow by

highlighting the “Route #” label, and pressing the left or right arrow keys

until the desired route number appears. In this example we’re using route

number one. To run the route from the last waypoint to the first, highlight

the “RUN ROUTE” label and press the right arrow key to change it from

forward to reverse.

Now highlight the first waypoint in the route that

you wish to start with and press the right arrow

ping, or windows screen. In this example, map

screen 1 was in use. A box with the “S” inside

represents your location when you started the

route. A dotted line shows from your starting po-

sition to the waypoint.A dashed line extends from

this waypoint to each of the other waypoints in

the route. Follow these lines to get to each of the

waypoints.When you enter the radius set by the

arrival alarm, the unit automatically switches to

the next waypoint on the list, showing navigation

data to that waypoint, and so on until the last waypoint on the route list

has been reached. (Note: The arrival alarm does not have to be turned

on.) The unit continues to show navigation data to the last waypoint in the

route until you end the navigation. (See Cancel Navigation)

Following a Route - Auto Start Method

You don’t have to choose the starting waypoint in a route.Selecting “AUTO

START”on the route planning menu, starts navigation along the leg of the

route that is closest to your present position.The screen shown at the top

of the next page shows the result of the auto start feature.When the route

was started, the first leg of the route (from waypoint #3 to waypoint #4)

NMEA/DGPS

This product transmits data through the power/data port in the back of the

unit using NMEA 0183 format, version 1.5 or 2.0. The data is used by

other electronic devices such as marine autopilots for position and steer-

ing information.

DGPS on the other hand, is a data input. DGPS is an acronym for Differ-

ential Global Positioning System.Currently, it relies on a system of ground-

based transmitters that send correction signals to small DGPS receivers.

DGPS gives you more accurate positions than is otherwise possible.

See the installation section for cable connections. See the sample wiring

diagram below for general wiring procedures. Read your other product’s

owner’s manual for more wiring information.

GPS SETUP

Items found under the GPS Setup menu include

initialization, (covered at the beginning of this

manual), position format, datums, and more. To

use any of these features, first press the MENU

key, highlight GPS Setup and press the right ar-

row key. The screen shown at right appears.

Position Format/Alternate Format

This unit can show the position in degrees, min-

utes, and thousandths of a minute (36° 28.700') or degrees, minutes,

seconds, and tenths of a second (36° 28' 40.9").It can also show position

in UTM (UniversalTransverse Mercator) projection, German, Taiwan, Brit-

ish, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, Finnish, New Zealand, and Military Grid.

UTM’s are marked on USGS topographic charts.This system divides the

Earth into 60 zones, each 6 degrees wide in longitude.

German, Taiwan, British, Irish, Swedish, Swiss, New Zealand, and Finn-

ish grid systems are the national coordinate system used only in their

respective countries. In order to use these grid systems, you must be in

the respective country.This unit will pick the matching datum for you when

you select the grid. See the Datums section for more information.

The military grid reference system (MGRS) uses two grid lettering

schemes, which are referred to as standard and alternate MGRS on this

unit.Your position and datum in use determines which one to use. If you

use standard, and your position is off significantly, then try the alternate.

Note:When the position format is changed, it affects the way all positions

are shown on all screens. This includes waypoints.

Windows Group “F” has two position displays, standard (shown at the top

of the screen), which is also shown on all other position displays, and

alternate.The alternate position (shown at the bottom of the screen) can

be programmed to show your present position in a different format than

the upper position. For example, you can show latitude/longitude at the

top of the screen and UTM’s at the bottom.

To change the position format, highlight either the

“Position Format” or the “Alternate Format” label

on the “GPS Setup” menu, then press the right

arrow key. A screen similar to the one at right

appears. Press the up or down arrow keys to

select the desired format. Press the EXIT key to

erase the position format menu.

Datum

Maps and charts are based on a survey of the area that’s covered by the

map or chart.These surveys are called “Datums”. Maps that are created

using different datums will show the same latitude/longitude in slightly

different locations.

All datums are named.The GPS system is based on the WGS-84 datum,

which covers the entire world. Other datums may also cover the entire

world, or just a small portion. By default, your position shows using the

WGS-84 datum. However, it can show your position using one of 191

different datums.

To change the datum, first press the MENU key,

then highlight the “GPS Setup” label and press

the right arrow key.Now highlight the “Select Da-

tum”label.Finally, press the right arrow key again.

A screen similar to the one at right appears.

The WGS-84 label is highlighted. To change it,

simply press the up or down arrow keys to high-

light the desired datum, then press the ENT key.

This selects the datum and erases the select datum menu.

A list of the datums used by this unit is in the back of this manual.

Map Fix

Map Fix is used with charts or maps. This system asks for a reference

position in latitude/longitude, which you take from a marked location on

the map. It then shows the present position as distance on the map from

that reference point. For example, if it shows a distance of UP 4.00” and

LEFT 0.50”, you then measure up four inches and to the left a half-inch

from the reference point on the map to find your location.

To use this format, you need to follow these steps in order.First, take your

map of the area and determine a reference latitude/longitude. (Note: in

order for this system to work, the latitude/longitude lines must be parallel

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

with the edge of the map. USGS maps are parallel, others may not be.

Also, this works better with smaller scale maps.) The reference position

can be anywhere on the map, but the closer it is to your location, the

smaller the numbers will be that you’ll have to deal with.

Once you’ve decided on a reference position, you’ll need to save it as a

waypoint. See the waypoint section for information on saving a waypoint

using the EDIT Position method. Save the reference position as a way-

point. Exit from the waypoint screens.

Press the MENU key, then select GPS Setup.

Highlight "MAP FIX SETUP" and press the right

arrow key.The screen at right appears."REFER-

ENCE POINT" is highlighted. Press the right ar-

row key. Select the waypoint number that you

saved the reference point under. Highlight the

"SET REFERENCE" label and press the right ar-

row key. The unit returns to the Map Fix Setup

menu. Now highlight the Map Scale label and

press the right arrow key. Enter the map’s scale. This is generally at the

bottom of the paper map. It’s shown as a ratio, for example 1:24000. In

this example, we entered 24000 as a map scale. (Ignore the 1:) The unit

returns to the Map Fix Setup screen.

Finally, press the EXIT key to erase this menu. Now select "POSITION

FORMAT". Select Map Fix from the list and press the EXIT key. All posi-

tion information now shows as a distance from the reference point you

entered and saved as a waypoint earlier.

Set PCF Offset

Another method used to make your display match a chart or map is called

“PCF” or Position Correction Factor. This unit gives you the capability to

move or offset the position shown on the display to match one on the

chart.The unit will add this offset to all position and navigation displays at

all times.

Remember, the position error on any radio navigation system is very dy-

namic and the PCF offset should never be used in an attempt to cancel

the error.

In general terms, PCF should only be used if your map indicates what the

possible error is.PCF should always be reset to zero when you’re finished

with the chart.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

For example, suppose you are stopped at a location that is accurately

marked on a chart.Your unit shows a longitude position that is .244 min-

utes east of the one on the chart and .047 minutes north latitude. Using

the PCF feature, you can make this unit match the chart you’re using. If

you move, the unit will continuously add the change to all position, navi-

gation, and mapping displays. This makes it more closely match the da-

tum used by the chart.For this reason, you should be careful when enter-

ing the PCF offset. It’s saved in memory and doesn’t change when the

unit is turned off. However, resetting the unit does erase the PCF offset.

To change the PCF offset, first press the MENU

key, then highlight the “GPS Setup” label and

press the right arrow key. Now highlight the “Set

PCF Offset” label. Finally, press the right arrow

key again.

A screen similar to the one at right appears.

Now enter the correction for your location. Re-

member, this is the difference between the location shown on the present

position display and the position shown on the chart. In this example, we

entered 0 degrees, 0.047 minutes north latitude and 0 degrees, 0.244

minutes east longitude. That is the difference between the present posi-

tion shown by this unit and the one on our chart.

After you’ve entered the latitude/longitude correction, press the ENT key

to accept it. The PCF entry screen is erased and the unit returns to the

navigation or mapping screens with the correction factor applied.

Position Pinning

When using a GPS receiver at extremely low speeds, it can have trouble

determining your course over ground, or direction you’re travelling.This is

due in large part to SA, or selective availability. SA is small inaccuracies

purposefully put into the GPS satellite’s signal by the government. This

cause wide variations in the track display and other navigation displays

when using the unit at slow speeds.

If you’re using this receiver without DGPS and stop, the position pinning

feature locks the present position indicator on the plotter until you’ve moved

a short distance or exceed a very slow speed.This prevents the “wander-

ing” plot trail seen when you’re stopped with position pinning turned off.

This also affects the navigational displays.

The easiest way to see the effects of S/A is to stand still with the GPS

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

receiver turned on and watch your plot trail with position pinning turned

off.You’ll see the present position change, speed increase and decrease,

and a random plot trail on the plotter’s screen.

If you wish to turn the position pinning feature off, press the MENU key,

then highlight the “GPS Setup” label and press the right arrow key. Now

highlight the “POSITION PINNING”label.Finally, press the left arrow key.

ALARMS

This unit has several GPS alarms. (Sonar alarms are covered in the

sonar section of this manual.)You can set an arrival alarm to flash a warn-

ing message and sound a tone when you cross a preset distance from a

waypoint. For example, if you have the arrival alarm set to .1 mile, then

the alarm will flash a message when you come within .1 mile of the re-

called waypoint. The course deviation indicator alarm (CDI) can warns

when your track drifts too far to the right or left of the course line to the

waypoint.For example, if the alarm is set to .1 mile, then the alarm flashes

a message if you drift .1 of a mile or more to the right or left of the line to

the waypoint. The anchor alarm is triggered when you drift outside of a

preset radius. Again, using the .1 mile as an example, if you’re anchored

and your boat moves more than .1 of a mile, the alarm will flash a mes-

sage and sound a tone.

To use any of these alarms, first press the MENU

key, then select the “ALARMS” menu. Next, se-

lect “GPS ALARMS”. A screen similar to the one

shown at right appears. Press the up or down

arrow key to select the desired alarm, then press

the right arrow key to turn it on.

To adjust an alarm’s distance, move the black

box to the alarm’s “DIS” menu item, then press

the right or left arrow keys to increase or decrease the alarm’s distance.

When you’re finished, press the EXIT key to erase this menu.

Important Alarm Notes:

Anchor Alarm - Since civilian users don’t receive the accuracy given to

military users, the anchor alarm may be triggered even when you’re sit-

ting still. This typically happens when using small (less than .05 mile)

anchor alarm ranges. If you have a DGPS beacon receiver connected to

this unit, smaller ranges may be usable.

Arrival Alarm - If you set the arrival alarm’s distance to a small number,

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

and you run a route (see the routes section), this unit may not show navi-

gation data to the next waypoint, once you arrive at the first one, since

you may not be able to come close enough to the first waypoint to trip the

arrival alarm.

DGPS Messages

The DGPS message selections are found on the Alarms/CDI menu shown

above. Pressing the EXIT key erases these messages.

The DGPS message appears whenever the unit begins or stops using

DGPS data to help determine your position.

The default setting for these messages is “on”. To turn the message off,

select the“Setup Alarms”menu from the main menu, then highlight “DGPS

MESSAGES” and press the left arrow key.

Sun/Moon Calculator

This unit has a sunrise/sunset and moonrise/

moonset calculator that shows this information

anywhere or anytime in the world.To use it, press

the MENU key, then highlight “SUN/MOON

CALC” and press the right arrow key.The screen

shown at right appears. (Both calculators work

identically.The sunrise/sunset calculator is used

for this example.) The sun and moon data for

today’s date appear in the center of the screen.

A moon symbol shows in the moonrise/moonset box, showing the ap-

proximate phase of the moon.The arrow next to the symbol shows if it is

moving towards a full moon (up) or a new moon (down).

Today’s date shows at the top of the screen. If you want to know the

sunrise/sunset for a different date, press the ENT key, then enter the new

date with the arrow keys. The unit returns to the above screen with the

sun and moon data shown for the date you entered.

The sun and moon data show for your present position. If you move the

plotter’s cursor to a different position before using this calculator, it will

show the sunrise/sunset for the cursor’s location.

SONAR OPERATION - LMS-160 ONLY

SONAR MODES

The LMS-160 has three different sonar modes:

full chart (sonar 1), split-chart (sonar 2), and so-

nar with digital information (sonar 3). To select a

mode, first press the PAGES key. Press the up

or down arrow key to select sonar modes, then

press the left or right arrow key to select the de-

sired mode. Press the EXIT key to erase the

modes menu.

Full Chart

This is the default mode used when the unit is first turned on (shown

above).The bottom signal scrolls across the screen from right to left.Depth

scales on the right side of the screen makes it easy to determine the

depth of fish, structure, and other objects.The line at the top of the screen

represents the surface. The bottom depth shows at the top left corner of

the screen.The word “AUTO” at the screen’s top center shows that it’s in

the automatic mode, freeing you from sensitivity, range, and noise rejec-

tion adjustments.

Split Chart

A split chart shows the underwater world from

the surface to the bottom on the right side of the

screen.The left side shows an enlarged version

of the right side. The zoom range shows at the

bottom of the screen. In this example, the zoom

range is 2X, or two times the right side’s view.

Digital/Chart

The digital/chart shows the chart on the left side

of the screen.The right side has six digital boxes

containing the water depth at the top of the

screen, boat speed, surface water temperature,

temperature #2, waypoint number with direction

arrow, and CDI.(Note:Boat speed, distance, and

temperature require an optional speed/tempera-

ture sensor. Temperature #2 requires an addi-

tional temperature sensor.)

AUTOMATIC

When this unit is first turned on, the automatic feature is enabled.This is

indicated by the word “AUTO” at the top of the screen. The automatic

feature adjusts the sensitivity and range so the bottom signal is displayed

in the lower half of the screen at all times.

To turn automatic off, first press the MENU key,

then select “SONAR SETUP”. Now select “SO-

NAR AUTO MODE”. Press the left arrow key to

switch to the manual mode. Press the EXIT key

to return to the sonar screen. To turn Automatic

on, repeat the above steps to get the auto menu,

then press the right arrow key.

SONAR OPTIONS

Sensitivity

The sensitivity controls the ability of the unit to pick up echoes. A low

sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals,

and other target information. High sensitivity levels enables you to see

this detail, but it can also clutter the screen with many undesired signals.

Typically, the best sensitivity level shows a good solid bottom signal with

Grayline and some surface clutter.

The sensitivity is adjusted to keep a solid bottom signal displayed, plus a

little more when the unit is in the automatic mode. This gives it the capa-

bility to show fish and other detail.

However, situations occur where it becomes necessary to increase or

decrease the sensitivity. This typically happens when you wish to see

more detail, so an increase in sensitivity is indicated. The procedure to

adjust it is the same whether the unit is in the automatic or manual mode.

To adjust the sensitivity, press the MENU key,

then select “SONAR OPTIONS”. The screen at

right appears. There are four options on this

menu, with two showing. They are: sensitivity,

grayline, surface clarity, and ASP. Use the up or

down arrow keys to switch between options.The

sensitivity menu has left and right arrows, plus a

horizontal bar graph. The graph gives a visual

indication of the sensitivity level. The number to

the right of the bar graph shows the percentage of sensitivity in use.

To increase the sensitivity level, press the right arrow key. As you press

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

the key, the menu’s bar graph will grow wider and the percentage will

increase in value.You can also see the difference on the chart record as

it scrolls. When the sensitivity is at the desired level, release the key.

To decrease the sensitivity level, press the left arrow key. The bar graph

and percentage will decrease.When the sensitivity is at the desired level,

release the key.When you reach either the maximum or minimum limit, a

tone sounds.

To erase the menu, press the EXIT key.

GRAYLINE^®

GRAYLINE lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes.It “paints”

gray on targets that are stronger than a preset value. This allows you to

tell the difference between a hard and soft bottom. For example, a soft,

muddy or weedy bottom returns a weaker signal which is shown with a

narrow or no gray line.A hard bottom returns a strong signal which causes

a wide gray line.

If you have two signals of equal size, one with gray and the other without,

then the target with gray is the stronger signal.This helps distinguish weeds

from trees on the bottom, or fish from structure.

GRAYLINE is adjustable.Since GRAYLINE shows the difference between

strong and weak signals, adjusting the sensitivity may require a different

GRAYLINE level, also.The level chosen by the unit at power on is usually

adequate for most conditions. Experiment with your unit to find the

GRAYLINE setting that’s best for you.

To adjust the GRAYLINE level, press the MENU key, then select “SONAR

OPTIONS”.The screen at the bottom of the previous page appears. Use

the up or down arrow keys to select the GRAYLINE menu. Press the left

arrow key to decrease the gray level or the right arrow key to increase it.

The percentage of GRAYLINE in use changes as the arrow keys are

pressed.The bar chart also gives a graphical indication of the GRAYLINE

level.You can see the change on the screen (both on the menu and on the

chart record) as you press the keys. After you’ve finished, press the EXIT

key to erase the menu.

ADJUST CHART SURFACE CLARITY

The markings extending downward from the zero line on the chart are

called “surface clutter.” These markings are caused by wave action, boat

wakes, temperature inversion, and other natural causes.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

The Surface Clarity Control (SCC) reduces or eliminates surface clutter

signals from the display. SCC varies the sensitivity of the receiver, de-

creasing it near the surface and gradually increasing it as the depth in-

creases.

There are three levels of SCC available on this

unit: low, medium, and high.When it’s turned on

for the first time, the SCC level is low.To change

it, press the MENU key, then select “SONAR

OPTIONS”.The screen at righ appears. Use the

up or down arrow keys to select the SURFACE

CLARITY menu. Now use the left or right arrow

keys to change it. When you’re finished, press

the EXIT key to erase the menus.

ASP (Advanced Signal Processing)

The ASP feature is a noise rejection system that constantly evaluates the

effects of boat speed, water conditions, and interference.This automatic

feature gives you the best display possible under most conditions.

The ASP feature is an effective tool in combating noise. In sonar terms,

noise is any undesired signal. It is caused by electrical and mechanical

sources such as bilge pumps, engine ignition systems and wiring, air

bubbles passing over the face of the transducer, even vibration from the

engine. In all cases, noise can produce unwanted marks on the display.

The ASP feature has two levels - Normal and High. If you have high noise

levels, try using the “High”ASP setting.However, if you are having trouble

with noise, we suggest that you take steps to find the interference source

and fix it, rather than continually using the unit with the high ASP setting.

However, there are times when you may want to turn the ASP feature off.

This lets you view all incoming echoes before they are processed by the

ASP feature.

To change the ASP level, press the MENU key. select "SONAR SETUP",

then “SONAR OPTIONS”, and finally press the up or down arrow keys

until the “ASP” menu appears, as shown at the top of this page. Now use

the left or right arrow keys to change it. When you’re finished, press the

EXIT key to erase the menu.

RANGE - Automatic

When turned on for the first time, the bottom signal is automatically placed

in the lower half of the screen. This is called Auto Ranging and is part of

the automatic function.Typically, the range cannot be changed manually

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

while the unit is in automatic, as shown at right.

However, depending upon the bottom depth and

the current range, you can change the range to a

different depth. In the example screen shown at

right, the bottom depth has descended to a point

where you can change the range to XX feet. To

do this, select “CHART RANGE” from the “SO-

NAR OPTIONS” menu. Simply press the right or

left arrow keys to select a different range. When

you’re finished , press the EXIT key to erase the menu.

RANGE - Manual

You have complete control over the range when the unit is in the manual

mode.

To change the range, first make certain the unit

is in the manual mode. Next, select “CHART

RANGE” from the "SONAR OPTIONS" menu.

Simply press the right or left arrow keys to select

a different range.Press the left or right arrow keys

to decrease or increase the range.The available

ranges are 0-10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 100, 150, 200,

300, 500, 800, and 1000 feet. After selecting the

range, press the EXIT key to erase the range

menu.

NOTE: The sonar’s depth capability depends on the transducer installa-

tion, water and bottom conditions, and other factors.

The rate echoes scroll across the screen is called

the chart speed. It’s adjustable by selecting

“CHART SPEED” from the "CHART OPTIONS"

menu. Increase the chart speed by pressing the

right arrow key or decrease it by pressing the left

arrow key.The percentage of chart speed in use

changes as the arrow keys are pressed.The bar

chart also gives a graphical indication of the chart

speed. After you’ve made the adjustment, press

the EXIT key to erase the menu.

Chart Stop

left arrow key to stop the chart. To start the chart again, press the right

arrow key.

Upper and Lower Limits

You can enter virtually any combination of ranges when the unit is in the

manual mode.The unit lets you enter any upper and lower limit, provided

there is at least ten feet separating them. (On the screen below left, the

upper limit is 0 and the lower limit is 100.) Using the upper and lower limit

range option, we changed the range from 0 to 100 feet to 30 to 55 feet.

This “zoomed” the display to a 35 foot range.

0 - 100 FOOT RANGE

30 - 55 FOOT RANGE

As you can see, the fish arches near the bottom are much larger and

easier to see.Not only does this make it easier to see targets, but you can

more accurately determine their depth, due to the expanded depth range.

To change the upper and lower limits, first press

the MENU key, then select “CHART OPTIONS”

from the "SONAR SETUP" menu.The screen at

the bottom of the previous page appears. To

change the lower limit, select “SET LOWER

LIMIT” from the menu. The screen at right ap-

pears. Using the arrow keys, enter the desired

depth.Press the ENT key to save the range, EXIT

to erase this screen without changing the range.

Change the upper limit the same way, except choose “SET UPPER LIMIT”

from the CHART OPTIONS menu.

ZOOM

“Zooming” the picture is a common method used to enlarge small detail

and fish signals.To zoom the screen, simply press the ZIN (zoom-in) key.

This enlarges all echoes on the screen to twice their normal size. To re-

turn the screen to 2X or normal, simply press the ZOUT (zoom-out) key

until the desired zoom appears.When the unit is in zoom, “2X” appears in

the lower right corner of the screen, showing the current zoom mode.

FISH ID

The Fish ID feature identifies targets that meet

certain conditions as fish. The microcomputer

analyses all echoes and eliminates surface clut-

ter, thermoclines, and other signals that are un-

desirable. In most instances, remaining targets

are fish. The Fish ID feature displays symbols

on the screen in place of the actual fish echoes.

There are four fish symbol sizes: tiny, small,

medium, and large.These are used to designate

the relative size between targets. In other words, it displays a small fish

symbol when it thinks a target is a small fish, a medium symbol on a

larger target, etc.

The microcomputer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled. It can’t distin-

guish between fish and other suspended objects such as trotlines, turtles,

submerged floats, air bubbles, etc. Individual tree limbs extending out-

wards from a group of limbs is the hardest object for the Fish ID feature to

distinguish from fish.

You may see Fish ID symbols on the screen when actually, there are no

fish. Practice with the unit in both the Fish ID mode and without to be-

come more familiar with the Fish ID feature.

To turn the Fish ID feature off, press the MENU

key, then select “SONAR SETUP”. Now choose

“FISH ID” from this menu. Press the left arrow

key to turn the fish ID feature off.To turn the Fish

ID feature on again, repeat the above steps, but

press the right arrow key until the “ON” is high-

lighted. Any targets the microcomputer deter-

mines are fish will be displayed as fish symbols.

Remember, the Fish ID feature can’t be used when the unit is in the manual

mode. If you turn the Fish ID feature on when the unit is in the manual

mode, the microcomputer will turn the automatic feature on. If you turn

automatic off when the Fish ID feature is on, the Fish ID feature will be

turned off also.

FISHTRACK™

The FishTrack feature shows the depth of a fish symbol when it appears

on the display. This lets you accurately gauge the depth of targets. This

feature is available only when the Fish ID feature is on.

To turn the FishTrack feature off, press the menu

key and select “SONAR SETUP”.Choose “FISH

ID” from this menu. Now press the right arrow

key to highlight the “TRK” FishTrack feature. To

turn FishTrack off, press the left arrow key on

the Fish ID menu.

CHART DISPLAY

The chart display lets you set up the screen to

show the digital displays, such as depth, tem-

perature, and water speed.You can also turn the

zoom bar and zone alarm bars on or off.To make

these changes, press the MENU key and select

“SONAR SETUP”, then select “CHART DIS-

PLAY”.The screen shown at right appears.

The digital depth display at the top left corner of

the screen normally shows in large numbers.You can change this to smaller

numbers or turn it off completely by selecting “DIGITAL DEPTH” at the

top of the screen.

Use the up or down arrow keys to select an item, then use the left or right

arrow keys to change it. Press the EXIT key to erase this menu.

Zoom Bar

The zoom bar shows the section of water on the

right side of SONAR-2 that is being enlarged on

the left side. To turn the zoom bar on continu-

ously, select “ ZOOM BAR” on the “CHART DIS-

PLAY”menu, then press the right arrow key.Now

press the EXIT key. A screen similar to the one

at right appears. Press the up arrow key to move

the zoom bar up or the down arrow key to move

it down.This moves the zoom coverage area.To

turn the zoom bar off, repeat the above steps.

Zone Alarm Bar

The zone alarm has a range bar. Any echoes

that appear between the top and bottom of this

bar triggers the zone alarm. This bar normally

doesn’t show on the screen. To turn the zone

bar on continuously, select “ZONE BAR”from the

“CHART DISPLAY” menu, then press the right

arrow key.Now press the EXIT key.A screen simi-

lar to the one at right appears. To turn the zone

bar off, repeat the above steps.

See the Alarms section for more information on the zone alarm.

CHART CURSOR

This unit has a chart cursor that allows you to

pinpoint a target’s depth. The cursor is simply a

horizontal line that extends across the display

from left to right. A depth box at the end of the

line on the right side shows the line’s depth. In

the example at right, the cursor (line) is at 41.1

feet.

To display the chart cursor, press the MENU key

and select “SONAR SETUP”, then select “USE DEPTH CURSOR”. A

screen similar to the one at right appears. Use the up and down arrow

keys to move the cursor up or down to the desired depth.

To turn the chart cursor off, simply press the EXIT key.

DIGITAL SONAR

Normally, the digital depth display is located at the top left corner of the

screen. This display comes from a separate digital sonar built into the

unit.It displays only the bottom depth.If it loses the bottom, the last known

depth will flash on the display. When the digital finds the bottom, it will

automatically display the bottom depth again. The digital sonar can be

turned off, however this also turns all automatic features off also, such as

auto sensitivity, auto ranging, and the Fish ID. feature.

To turn the digital off, first press the MENU key and select “SONAR

SETUP”, then select “DIGITAL SONAR”. Press the left arrow to turn it off.

CAUTION!

Turning the digital sonar off also turns the automatic mode off, including

Fish ID, and the depth alarms.

ALARMS

This unit has three different types of sonar alarms. The first is the Fish

Alarm. It sounds when the Fish I.D. feature determines an echo or group

of echoes is a fish. Another alarm is the Zone Alarm which consists of a

bar. Any echo that appears inside this bar triggers this alarm. The last

alarm is called the Depth Alarm. Only the bottom signal will trigger this

alarm.This is useful as an anchor watch, a shal-

low water alert, or for navigation.

To adjust an alarm, first press the MENU key,

then select “ALARMS”. Now select “SONAR

ALARMS”. The screen shown at right appears.

Follow the instructions below for setting each

alarm.

DEPTH ALARMS

The depth alarms sound a tone when the bottom signal goes shallower

than the shallow alarm’s setting or deeper than the deep alarm’s setting.

For example, if you set the shallow alarm to ten feet, the alarm will sound

a tone if the bottom signal is less than ten feet. It will continue to sound

until the bottom goes deeper than 10 feet.The deep alarm works just the

opposite. It sounds a warning tone if the bottom depth goes deeper than

the alarm’s setting. Both depth alarms work only off the digital bottom

depth signals.No other targets will trip these alarms.If you turn the digital

sonar off, the depth alarms will be inoperative.These alarms can be used

at the same time or individually.

To adjust the shallow alarm, highlight the “Shal-

low Depth” label.To adjust the deep alarm, high-

light the “Deep Depth” label. Both alarms adjust

identically.We’ll use the shallow alarm as an ex-

ample. Highlight the “Shallow Depth” label, then

press the right arrow key. The screen shown at

right appears.

Use the up or down arrow keys to select the number, the right and left

keys to move from number to number in the depth.For example, to set the

shallow alarm depth to 10 feet, press the right arrow key once, then press

the up arrow key once. The changes the second “0” to a “1”. Next, press

the right arrow key again and press the down arrow key once.This changes

the “1” at the end of the number to a “0”. The depth now shows 10 feet.

Press the ENT key to accept this setting. The unit returns to the alarms

menu, showing a shallow depth of 10 feet.Now you can activate the alarm

by highlighting the “Shallow Alm” label and pressing the right arrow key.

With the shallow alarm set at ten feet, anytime the digital display goes

below ten feet, the shallow alarm sounds.

Set the deep alarm in the same manner.If the bottom depth reading goes

below the deep alarm setting, the deep alarm will sound.

ZONE ALARM

The zone alarm is triggered when any echo

passes inside the zone alarm bar, shown on the

right side of the screen. To turn the zone alarm

on, highlight the “Zone Alarm” label on the sonar

alarm menu, then press the right arrow key. To

adjust the zone alarm, highlight the“Adjust Zone”

label, then press the right arrow key. A screen

similar to the one at right appears.

To adjust the top of the zone bar higher or lower, press the up or down

arrow keys while the “START”label is highlighted as shown on the screen

at right.To adjust the bottom of the zone bar, first press the right arrow key

to select “END” on the screen, then use the up or down arrow keys.

When the zone alarm is set, press the EXIT key to erase the menus.

FISH ALARM

Use the fish alarm for a distinctive audible alarm when fish or other sus-

pended objects are detected by the Fish I.D.feature.A different tone sounds

for each fish symbol size shown on the display.To turn the fish alarm on,

select “FISH ALARM” from the sonar alarm menu and press the right

arrow key. The unit will revert to the sonar display with the fish alarm

turned on. Repeat the above steps to turn the fish alarm off.

Note: If the unit is in the manual mode, turning the Fish Alarm on will also

turn the automatic mode and Fish ID on, also.

Keel Offset

Normally, this unit measures water depth from the face of the transducer.

Since the transducer is below the surface of the water, this distance is not

the exact water depth.If the transducer is one foot below the surface, and

the screen shows the water depth as 30 feet, then the depth is actually 31

feet.

You can calibrate the depth reading using the keel offset feature. First,

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

highlight the “SET KEEL OFFSET” label on the

“System Setup”menu, then press the right arrow

key.The screen shown at right appears.The cur-

rent bottom depth shows in the upper left corner

of the screen. The keel offset shows beneath it.

In this example, we need to change the keel off-

set so that the unit will add one foot to the depth,

since the transducer is one foot below the sur-

face. Press the right arrow key, then the up or

down arrow keys until +1.0 appears in the box, as shown at right, then

press the ENT key.This immediately changes the digital depth display at

the top of the screen by one foot. Press the EXIT key to erase this menu.

Note: Another way to use the keel offset feature is if you want to know the

depth of the water below the lowest part of the boat, instead of the sur-

face.To do this, measure the lowest part of the boat below the transducer.

In this example, we’ll use 3 feet. Now, using the keel offset feature, adjust

the offset for a negative 3 feet.

Please note that adjusting the keel offset only affects the digital depth

display and all features that use the digital depth, such as the depth alarms

and FishTrack. This doesn’t affect the chart at all.

Calibrate Speed

You can calibrate the speed display if an optional

speed sensor is attached. To do this, highlight

the“Calibrate Speed”label on the“System Setup”

menu, then press the right arrow key. A screen

similar to the one at right appears.

If the digital speed display is slower than your

actual speed, add a positive percentage to make

it read faster. If the digital speed display is faster,

use a negative percentage to make it read slower. Use the arrow keys to

change the speed, then press the ENT key. Press the EXIT key to erase

this menu.

SONAR TROUBLESHOOTING

If your unit is not working, or if you need technical help, please use the

following troubleshooting section before contacting the factory customer

service department. It may save you the trouble of returning your unit.

Unit won’t turn on:

1. Check the power cable’s connection at the unit. Also check the wiring.

2. Make certain the power cable is wired properly.The red wire connects

to the positive battery terminal, black to negative or ground.

3. Check the fuse.

4. Measure the battery voltage at the unit’s power connector. It should be

at least 11 volts. If it isn’t, the wiring to the unit is defective, the battery

terminals or wiring on the terminals are corroded, or the battery needs

charging.

Unit freezes, locks up, or operates erratically:

1. Electrical noise from the boat’s motor, trolling motor, or an accessory

may be interfering with the sonar unit. Rerouting the power and trans-

ducer cables away from other electrical wiring on the boat may help.

Route the sonar unit’s power cable directly to the battery instead of

through a fuse block or ignition switch

2. Inspect the transducer cable for breaks, cuts, or pinched wires.

3. Check both the transducer and power connectors. Make certain both

are securely plugged in to the unit.

Weak bottom echo, digital readings erratic, or no fish signals:

1.Make certain transducer is pointing straight down.Clean the face of the

transducer. Oil, dirt, and fuel can cause a film to form on the trans-

ducer, reducing its effectiveness. If the transducer is mounted inside

the hull, be sure it is shooting through only one layer of fiberglass and

that it is securely bonded to the hull. Do NOT use RTV silicone rubber

adhesive or Marinetex

2. Electrical noise from the boat’s motor can interfere with the sonar.This

causes the sonar to automatically increase its Discrimination or noise

rejection feature. This can cause the unit to eliminate weaker signals

such as fish or even structure from the display.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

3.The water may be deeper than the sonar’s ability to find the bottom. If

the sonar can’t find the bottom signal while it’s in the automatic mode,

the digital will flash continuously. It may change the range to limits far

greater than the water you are in. If this happens, place the unit in the

manual mode, then change the range to a realistic one, (for example,

0-100 feet) and increase the sensitivity. As you move into shallower

water, a bottom signal should appear.

4. Check the battery voltage. If the voltage drops, the unit’s transmitter

power also drops, reducing its ability to find the bottom or targets.

Bottom echo disappears at high speeds or erratic digital reading or

weak bottom echo while boat is moving

1. The transducer may be in turbulent water. It must be mounted in a

smooth flow of water in order for the sonar to work at all boat speeds.

Air bubbles in the water disrupt the sonar signals, interfering with its

ability to find the bottom or other targets. The technical term for this is

Cavitation.

2. Electrical noise from the boat’s motor can interfere with the sonar.This

causes the sonar to automatically increase its Discrimination or noise

rejection feature. This can cause the unit to eliminate weaker signals

such as fish or even structure from the display.Try using resistor spark

plugs or routing the sonar unit’s power and transducer cables away

from other electrical wiring on the boat.

No fish arches when the Fish ID feature is off:

1. Make certain transducer is pointing straight down. This is the most

common problem if a partial arch is displayed.

2.The sensitivity may not be high enough.In order for the unit to display a

fish arch, it has to be able to receive the fish’s echo from the time it

enters the cone until it leaves. If the sensitivity is not high enough, the

unit shows the fish only when it is in the center of the cone.

3. Use the Zoom feature. It is much easier to display fish arches when

zoomed in on a small range of water than a large one. For example,

you will have much better luck seeing fish arches with a 30 to 60 foot

range than a 0 to 60 foot range.This enlarges the targets, allowing the

display to show much more detail.

4.The boat must be moving at a slow trolling speed to see fish arches. If

the boat is motionless, fish stay in the cone, showing on the screen as

straight horizontal lines.

NOISE

A major cause of sonar problems is electrical noise.This usually appears

on the sonar’s display as random patterns of dots or lines.In severe cases,

it can completely cover the screen with black dots, or cause the unit oper-

ate erratically, or not at all.

To eliminate or minimize the effects of electrical noise, first try to deter-

mine the cause.With the boat at rest in the water, the first thing you should

do is turn all electrical equipment on the boat off.Make certain the engine

is off, also. Turn the sonar unit on, then turn off ASP (Advanced Signal

Processing).There should be a steady bottom signal on the display. Now

turn on each piece of electrical equipment on the boat and view the effect

on the sonar’s display. For example, turn on the bilge pump and view the

sonar display for noise. If no noise is present, turn the pump off, then turn

on the VHF radio and transmit. Keep doing this until all electrical equip-

ment has been turned on, their effect on the sonar display noted, then

turned off.

If you find noise interference from an electrical instrument, trolling motor,

pump, or radio, try to isolate the problem. You can usually reroute the

sonar unit’s power cable and transducer cable away from the wiring that

is causing the interference.VHF radio antenna cables radiate noise when

transmitting, so be certain to keep the sonar’s wires away from it.You may

need to route the sonar unit’s power cable directly to the battery to isolate

it from other wiring on the boat.

If no noise displays on the sonar unit from electrical equipment, then make

certain everything except the sonar unit is turned off, then start the en-

gine. Increase the RPM with the gearshift in neutral. If noise appears on

the display, the problem could be one of three things; spark plugs, alter-

nator, or tachometer wiring. Try using resistor spark plugs, alternator fil-

ters, or routing the sonar unit’s power cable away from engine wiring.

Again, routing the power cable directly to the battery helps eliminate noise

problems.Make certain to use the in-line fuse supplied with the unit when

wiring the power cable to the battery.

When no noise appears on the sonar unit after all of the above tests, then

the noise source is probably cavitation. Many novices or persons with

limited experience make hasty sonar installations which function perfectly

in shallow water, or when the boat is at rest.In nearly all cases, the cause

of the malfunction will be the location and/or angle of the transducer.The

face of the transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow

of water at all boat speeds. Read the transducer instructions for the best

mounting position.
