The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies  
depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455kHz)  
are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is  
limited. High frequencies (200kHz) are commonly used on  
consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth  
performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83kHz) are  
typically used to achieve greater depth capability.  
How Sonar Works  
Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 700 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate  
and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the  
transducer.  
Your 700 Series™ Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by  
measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is  
reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and  
composition of an object.  
Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft  
(70 m) and back again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this  
sonar signal.  
SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging.  
Sonar utilizes precision sound pulses or "pings" which are  
emitted into the water in a teardrop-shaped beam.  
The power output is the amount of energy generated by the  
sonar transmitter. It is commonly measured using two  
methods:  
The sound pulses "echo" back from objects in the water such  
as the bottom, fish and other submerged objects. The  
returned echoes are displayed on the LCD screen. Each time a  
new echo is received, the old echoes are moved across the LCD,  
creating a scrolling effect.  
Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over  
the entire transmit cycle.  
Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest  
points.  
The benefits of increased power output are the ability to  
detect smaller targets at greater distances, ability to  
overcome noise, better high speed performance and  
enhanced depth capability.  
When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to  
interpret "graph" of the bottom, fish and structure appears.

QuadraBeam™ Sonar  
WideSide® Sonar  
(with optional-purchase WideSide® transducer)  
Your 700 Series™ Fishing System supports  
QuadraBeam™ sonar. QuadraBeam™ sonar  
provides an extremely wide 90° area of  
coverage. QuadraBeam™ starts with two 45° 455  
Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also supports  
WideSide® sonar with the purchase of an additional  
WideSide® transducer. The WideSide® transducer is a  
specialized "side-looking" transducer that is extremely  
useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open  
water. The WideSide® transducer uses three different  
sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right  
and straight down from your boat. The downward  
beam is 200 kHz with a 24° area of coverage. This beam  
maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the  
bottom directly beneath your boat. The side beams are  
455 kHz with a 16° area of coverage. The side-looking  
elements can be used independently, or together to  
locate targets near the surface of the water on either  
side of your boat.  
kHz beams for  
a
continuous 90° of  
uninterrupted side to side coverage to 160 feet.  
These Side Structure locating beams reveal fish  
and structure to the left and right of your boat  
near the bottom. For structure directly below  
your boat, Quadrabeam™ uses DualBeam  
PLUS™ technology.  
DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar  
Your 700 Series™ Fishing System uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam  
PLUS™ sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage.  
DualBeam PLUS™ sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center beam,  
surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to  
an area equal to your depth. In 20 feet of water, the wider beam  
covers an area 20 feet wide. The 20° center beam is focused on  
the bottom, to show you structure, weeds and cover. The 60°  
wide beam is hunting for fish in the wide coverage area.  
DualBeam PLUS™ sonar returns can be blended together, viewed  
separately or compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUS™ is ideal for  
a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in  
both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such  
factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water  
conditions and transducer installation.

Your 700 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™Preimium on MMC or SD  
card media.  
How GPS and Cartography Work  
(with optional-purchase GPS Receiver)  
NOTE: Your 700 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts, only Navionics® Gold,  
HotMaps™, and HotMaps™ Premium.  
With the purchase of an additional GPS Receiver, your 700 Series™ Fishing System also  
supports GPS and chartplotting. With a GPS Receiver, your 737 uses GPS and sonar to  
determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information.  
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and  
maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use;  
however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities,  
typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the  
GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver  
also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the  
European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite  
Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.  
Your unit also comes with a built-in World map.  
Your 700 Series™ uses the optional-purchase GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat  
automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to  
display. See Viewing Cartography for more information.  
Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot  
Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also has a multi-media  
card (MMC)/SD slot that is used to insert optional-  
purchase cards containing additional detailed maps.  
GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send  
radio signals to the earth. Your present position is determined  
by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring  
the distance from the satellites.  
NOTE: MMC/SD cards require an optional-purchase GPS  
receiver in order to function.  
Inserting an MMC/SD into the Card Slot  
All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per  
second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your  
boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it.  
Based on time differences between each received signal, the  
GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With  
distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically  
triangulates its own position. With once per second updates,  
the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.  
If you insert an MMC/SD that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location, your  
700 Series™ Fishing System will retrieve that chart and display it automatically. Use the  
illustration to locate the position of the MMC/SD slot cover, remove the MMC/SD slot cover,  
then insert the MMC/SD into the slot. The label on the MMC/SD should face toward the right  
side of the unit. Press down on the card until it clicks into place, then replace the slot cover,  
making certain that the gasket is present and positioned correctly before re-installing the  
cover, then replace and tighten snugly - do NOT overtighten, as this will not improve water  
resistance, and may damage the cover.  
The optional-purchase GPS Receiver, when used with your 700 Series™ Fishing System, allows you  
to combine easy-to-use FishingGPS™ chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced  
fishfinding. The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 700 Series™ Fishing  
System when it is connected to the optional-purchase GPS receiver.  
Software Updates  
Use the MMC/SD slot to update the software version of your control head. To update the  
software in your control head, plug in the appropriate MMC/SD card that contains a software  
update file; the unit will recognize it, will tell you what software version your control  
head is currently running, and will ask you if you want to update the software in the unit  
to match that on the MMC/SD card. You can obtain software updates from the

What’s On the Display  
The 700 Series™ Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about the area  
under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items:  
83 kHz, Wide Beam Hollow Fish Symbol  
Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm  
when the water becomes too shallow.  
Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can  
depth of a sonar return and bottom depth  
be positioned in the Sonar View to provide  
below the cursor.  
Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS  
Receiver is attached, the 700 Series™ can  
display the speed of the boat, and can keep a  
Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled.  
Structure - where fish may be hiding.  
Fish - fish are displayed as arches and/or fish  
icons, and the unit can be set to alarm when a  
fish of a certain size is detected. When a target  
is detected and Fish ID+ is on, a Fish ID+TM  
symbol with depth is displayed. The size of  
the symbol shows the intensity of the sonar  
return. The unit will clearly show schools of  
Bait Fish as "clouds" of different shapes and  
sizes, depending on the number of fish and  
boat speed.  
Temperature - water surface temperature.  
Timer - elapsed time with Temp/Speed  
Accessory or GPS Receiver.  
Distance - distance traveled with Temp/Speed  
Accessory or GPS Receiver.  
Average Speed - average speed reading with  
Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.  
200 kHz, Narrow Beam Shaded Fish Symbol  
Thermoclines - layers of water with different  
temperatures that appear at different depths  
and different times of the year. A thermocline  
typically appears as a continuous band of  
many gray levels moving across the display at  
the same depth.  
Bait Ball  
Hard Bottom  
Rocky Bottom  
Second Sonar Return - when the sonar  
signal bounces between the bottom and the  
surface of the water and back again. Use the

Sonar View  
The views available on your 700 Series™ Fishing System are:  
Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for  
temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The  
most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is  
received, the older information is moved across the display to the left. A Digital Depth Readout is  
displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears  
along the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the  
water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom. Depth Range is automatically selected to  
keep the bottom visible on the display, although you can adjust it manually as well (see Sonar  
X-PressTM Menu). Six additional Digital Readouts display information from optional-purchase  
accessories. These information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired  
(see Setup Menu Tab, Select Readouts).

Understanding Sonar History  
Bottom Presentation  
It is important to understand the significance of the 700  
Series™ Fishing System display. The display does NOT show a  
literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water.  
Each vertical band of data received by the control head and  
plotted on the display represents something that was detected  
by a sonar return at a particular time. As both the boat and the  
targets (fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing a  
particular segment of time when objects were detected, not  
exactly where those objects are in relation to other objects  
shown on the display.  
As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the  
Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A  
Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display.  
A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms  
have a broken, random appearance.  
Bottom Contour Profile with RTS® Window.  
Temp/Speed Accessory is optional.  
Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window  
A Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only.  
The RTS® Window always updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only  
the returns from the bottom, structure and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS®  
Window plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return (see Sonar Menu - RTS® Window).  
Hard Bottom  
Soft Bottom  
Rocky Bottom  
The Narrow RTS® Window  
indicates the sonar intensity  
through the use of grayscale.  
The grayscale used matches  
the bottom view grayscale  
setting used in the sonar  
history window (i.e. Inverse,  
Structure ID®, WhiteLine®,  
Bottom Black). The depth of  
the sonar return is indicated  
by the vertical placement of  
the return on the display  
depth scale.  
The Wide RTS® Window  
indicates the sonar intensity  
through the use of a bar  
graph. The length of the  
plotted return provides an  
indication of whether the  
return is weak or strong. The  
depth of the sonar return is  
indicated by the vertical  
placement of the return on  
the display depth scale. The  
Wide RTS® Window does not  
make use of grayscale.  
The sonar returns from the bottom, structure and fish can be represented as either Inverse  
(default), WhiteLine®, Structure ID®, or Bottom Black. See Sonar X-PressTM Menu: Bottom View for  
details on how to set the bottom view.  
Freeze Frame  
Freeze Frame - Pressing any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key will freeze the screen and a  
cursor will be displayed on the screen. The cursor can be positioned on the display using the  
4-WAY Cursor Control key to determine the depth of any sonar return. The RTS® Window  
continues to update in Freeze Frame. In addition, see the effects of menu setting changes with  
Instant Image Update. Pressing EXIT will exit Freeze Frame and the display will start to scroll.  
Freeze Frame is available in the Sonar, Sonar Zoom, and 200/83 kHz Split Sonar Views.

Inverse is a method where weak returns are shown with dark  
pixels and strong returns with lighter pixels. This has the benefit  
of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the  
display.

Sonar Zoom View increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close  
together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom  
View, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the full range view on the right and the zoomed  
view on the left. The full range view on the right also contains the Zoom Preview Box that shows  
what part of the full range view is shown in zoom view on the left; the Zoom Preview Box tracks  
the bottom in the full range view.  
As the depth changes, the zoomed view updates automatically to display a magnified image of  
the bottom. The Zoom Preview Box shows where the zoomed view is in relation to the full range  
view. The Zoom Level, or magnification, is displayed in the lower left corner and can be changed  
to suit conditions (see Sonar X-PressTM Menu: Zoom Level). Upper and Lower Zoom Depth Range  
numbers indicate the depth of the water which is being viewed.  
Structure ID® represents weak returns as light pixels and strong  
returns as dark pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that  
strong returns will be clearly visible on the display.  
Digital depth is displayed in the upper left hand corner. The digital readouts in the Sonar Zoom  
View cannot be customized; therefore, information such as water temperature and voltage are  
unavailable in the Sonar Zoom View.

The sonar information from the side-looking beams reveals bottom contour, structure and fish  
similar to the down-looking beam, but the area covered is to the left and right of the area shown  
in the down-looking portion, so you actually see more of the bottom. The distance covered by the  
right and left 90° beams is based on the depth setting for the down-looking beam, up to a  
maximum of 160 feet.  
For more information, see the Accessories Menu Tab: Using Screen Snapshot procedure and the  
Screen Snapshot X-Press™ Menu.  
When you start a screen snapshot, you will see a message that a waypoint has been created at the  
point where your cursor is on the screen, and the screen will freeze. A status dialog box will appear  
that shows the progress of the save, and that displays the numbered file name assigned to the  
.BMP file that is being created, along with the percentage completed status.  
The Screen Snapshot View displays up to three thumbnails of these screen captures at a time. You  
can scroll through the whole list of thumbnails of screen snapshots in this view using the 4-WAY  
Cursor keys. The selected thumbnail will be highlighted with arrows. See the full-sized image by  
selecting a thumbnail (using the Up or Down 4-Way Cursor keys), then using the Right 4-Way  
Cursor key to view the full image. A border around the full-size screen snapshot indicates that it is  
just a screen snapshot, not a “live” view. You can delete the selected image, or all images, using  
Delete Image or Delete All Images from the Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu.

WideSide® View is only available if you have purchased and connected an optional-purchase  
WideSide® transducer accessory and when Transducer Select is set to WideSide® (see Sonar Menu  
Tab: Transducer Select). The WideSide® View displays information from the 455 kHz WideSide®  
transducer. Three views are available: Left, Right and Both. The default view is Both. Information  
from both the left and right beams are displayed simultaneously. The depth of the water beneath  
the boat is always displayed. A bottom contour may be present while bank fishing or fishing river  
channels. When fishing in the open water, a bottom contour will not be present, and only sonar  
returns from either debris or fish will be displayed.  
Bird's Eye View - This view is only available if you have purchased and connected a GPS Receiver,  
and shows a 3-D perspective view of the track and the chart’s land contour from a point above and  
behind the boat (the eye point). As the boat turns, the eye point moves to follow the boat.  
When you press the 4-WAY Cursor key in the Bird’s Eye View, the position of the eye point will shift.  
This allows you to move and turn the eye point so that you can look off to the sides, or even behind  
the boat. Pressing the RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys on the 4-WAY Cursor key turns the eye point right  
or left, while pressing the UP arrow key moves the eye point forward, and pressing the DOWN

frequently-used. Press the MENU key once while in any of the  
Sonar Views to access the Sonar X-PressTM Menu.  
Side  
(WideSide® transducer: WideSide® view only)  
Side sets which transducer beam from the WideSide® Transducer is shown in the WideSide® View.  
A WideSide® transducer must be connected to the 700 Series™ Fishing System. The Side menu  
choice is available when Transducer Select is set to WideSide® (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer  
Select) and can only be accessed from the Sonar X-PressTM menu when you are in WideSide® view.  
NOTE: Menu choices will vary depending on system settings such as

Sensitivity  
Upper Range  
(Advanced: Sonar, Split Sonar, Big Digits and Circular Flasher  
Sensitivity controls how much detail is shown on the display  
and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar frequencies. Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar  
returns from small baitfish and suspended debris in the water; however, the display may become  
too cluttered. When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity shows  
weaker returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the  
display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the  
display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish.  
views only)  
Upper Range sets the shallowest depth range that will be displayed on the Sonar, Split Sonar, Big  
Digits and Circular Flasher Views. The Upper Range menu choice is available when User Mode is  
set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode) and can only be accessed from the Sonar, Split  
Sonar, Big Digits and Circular Flasher Views. Upper Range is often used with Lower Range.  
NOTE: The Sensitivity setting is a global setting and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar  
frequencies, as compared to specific sensitivity adjustments (such as 83 kHz Sensitivity, 455 kHz  
Balance or Wideside Sensitivity) that allow you to adjust the level of sensitivity for one specific  
beam at a time.  
For example, if you are only interested in the area between 20 and 50 feet deep,  
you should set the Upper Depth Range to 20 and the Lower Depth Range to 50.  
The Sonar View will then show the 30 foot area between 20 and 50, and will not  
show the surface or the bottom (assuming the bottom is deeper than 50 feet),  
and will show greater detail for that area between 20 and 50 feet.  
NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range  
regardless of the manual settings entered.  
To adjust the Upper Range:  
1. Make sure you are in Advanced Mode, then highlight Upper Range on the Sonar  
X-PressTM Menu.  
Sensitivity at Low  
Sensitivity at Medium  
Sensitivity at High  
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Upper Range

Lower Range  
Side Beam Range  
(WideSide® transducer: WideSide® view only)  
Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be  
displayed. Automatic is the default setting. When in automatic mode, the lower range will be

corner of the screen when you start manually adjusting the Lower Range to indicate that you  
are in Manual mode.  
Side Beam Range sets the deepest range that will be displayed in the WideSide® View. The  
range must be set manually to keep the bottom visible on the display. If the Side Beam Range  
is set too deep for current depth conditions the sonar information will become compressed on  
the display and valuable detail will be lost. A WideSide® transducer must be connected to the  
700 Series™ Fishing System. Side Beam Range menu choice is available when Transducer  
Select is set to WideSide® (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select) and can only be accessed  
from the WideSide® view.  
will be displayed in the lower right  
M
For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in  
the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower Depth  
Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range, allowing you  
to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display went all the way  
to the bottom.  
NOTE: The Side Beam Range requires the purchase of the WideSide® transducer. You can visit our  
website at www.humminbird.com to order this accessory online or contact our Customer Resource  
Center at 1-800-633-1468.  
To adjust the Side Beam Range:  
1. Make sure you are in WideSide® Transducer Mode and that a WideSide® transducer is  
connected, then highlight Side Beam Range on the Sonar X-PressTM menu.  
NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range  
regardless of the manual settings entered.  
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Side Beam  
Range setting. (6 - 160 feet or 2 - 50 meters [International Models only], Default = 160 feet  
[50 meters])  
To adjust the Lower Range:  
1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-PressTM Menu.  
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Lower  
Range setting. (AUTO, 10 to 1500 feet, 3 to 500 meters [International Models only],  
Default = AUTO)  
Chart Speed  
Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar  
information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster  
speed shows more information and is preferred by most anglers; however, the sonar information  
moves across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer, but  
the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of  
the Chart Speed setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum rate possible for the  
depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.  
To adjust the Chart Speed:  
1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-PressTM Menu.  
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Chart Speed  
setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest, Default = 5)

Bottom Lock changes the mode of the Zoomed view in the Sonar Zoom View. Bottom Lock  
continuously graphs the bottom at a constant point on the display regardless of changes in depth.  
This "flattens" out the bottom contour, but is effective at showing fish on or near the bottom.  
Inverse represents weak returns as dark pixels and strong returns as lighter pixels. This has the  
benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display.  
To turn on Bottom Lock:  
Structure ID® represents weak returns as light pixels and strong returns as dark pixels. This has

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Bottom Lock setting to  
on. (Off, On, Default = Off)  
WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns in white resulting in a distinctive outline. This  
has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display.  
Bottom Black displays all pixels below the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal strength.  
This has the benefit of providing a high contrast between the bottom and other sonar returns on  
the display. Any targets such as fish, structure and thermoclines will be shown using the Structure  
ID® method.

Beam Select  
Beam Select sets which sonar returns from the transducer  
Fish ID+TM  
Fish ID+TM uses advanced signal processing to interpret sonar  
returns, and will display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. When a fish is  
detected, a fish icon and its depth are displayed above the return that has been classified as being  
a fish. Three different fish size icons represent the intensity of the sonar return, and provide an  
indicator of relative fish size.  
will be displayed on the screen.  
When set to 200/83 kHz, the returns from both beams are blended by starting with the 83 kHz  
wide beam return, dimming it, and then overlaying it with the 200 kHz narrow beam return. The  
darker 200 kHz wide beam sonar returns will stand out from the paler 83 kHz narrow beam sonar  
returns. The Split Sonar View continues to display the sonar returns from each beam in their  
respective windows. The blended information is shown in the Sonar View, Sonar Zoom View and  
the Big Digits View. The RTS® Window in the Sonar View and the Circular Flasher View will only  
show the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam.  
Targets detected in the 200 kHz narrow beam are represented as Shaded Fish Symbols, and  
targets detected in the 83 kHz wide beam are represented as Hollow Fish Symbols.  
When set to 200 kHz, only the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam will be displayed in the  
Sonar View, the Sonar Zoom View, the Big Digits View and the Circular Flasher View. The Split  
Sonar View will continue to display returns from both beams in their respective windows. The  
RTS® Window in the Sonar View will display the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam.  
200 kHz, Narrow Beam Shaded  
Fish Symbols  
83 kHz, Wide Beam  
Hollow Fish Symbols  
When set to 83 kHz, the returns from the 83 kHz wide beam will be displayed in the Sonar  
View, the Sonar Zoom View, the Big Digits View and the Circular Flasher View. The Split Sonar  
View will continue to display returns from both beams in their respective windows. The RTS®  
Window will display the returns from the 83 kHz wide beam.  
To use Beam Select:  
1. Highlight Beam Select on the Sonar main menu.  
Transducer Cone and Fish Arches  
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to select either the 200 kHz beam, the  
83kHz beam or the 200/83kHz beams. (200/83 kHz, 200 kHz, 83 kHz, Default = 200 kHz)  
When Fish ID+TM is turned off, the Fishing System shows only the raw sonar returns on the  
display. These returns will often result in "arches" forming on the display, indicating potential  
targets. Due to the transducer beam angle, the distance to a fish decreases as the fish moves into  
the beam, and then increases as it moves out again, creating a Fish Arch when this distance  
change is shown on the display. Boat speed, chart speed, and the position of the fish within the  
sonar beam greatly affect the shape of the arch.  
To turn Fish ID+™ on or off:  
1. Highlight Fish ID+ on the Sonar main menu.  
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to turn the Fish ID+TM setting On or  
Off. (Off, On, Default = Off)

Fish ID Sensitivity  
Zoom Width  
Fish ID Sensitivity adjusts the threshold of the Fish ID+TM  
detection algorithms. Selecting a higher setting allows weaker returns to be displayed as fish.  
This is useful for identifying smaller fish species or baitfish. Selecting a lower setting displays  
fewer fish from weak sonar returns. This is helpful when seeking larger species of fish. Fish ID  
Sensitivity is used in conjunction with Fish ID+TM. Fish ID+TM must be On for Fish ID Sensitivity to  
affect the ability of the Fishing System to identify sonar returns as fish.  
Zoom Width adjusts the width of the Zoom window on the  
Sonar Zoom View.

will display additional weak returns and decreasing the 83 kHz Sensitivity will display fewer weak  
returns. The 83 kHz Sensitivity menu choice is only available when User Mode is set to Advanced  
(see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode).  
Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window  
RTS® Window sets the RTS® Window to either Wide or  
Narrow, or turns it off in the Sonar View. The RTS® Window always updates at the fastest rate  
possible and only displays returns that are within the transducer beam. (See Real Time Sonar  
(RTS®) Window for additional detail).  
NOTE: 83 kHz Sensitivity is particularly useful for adjusting the sensitivity of the 83 kHz sonar  
returns in the 200/83 kHz Split Sonar View. The 83 kHz sensitivity can be adjusted without affecting  
the sensitivity of the 200 kHz returns shown in the 200 kHz sonar window.

3. The Screen Snapshot View displays up to three thumbnails of these screen captures at a  
time. You can scroll through the whole list of thumbnails of screen captures in this view  
using the 4-WAY Cursor keys. The selected thumbnail will be highlighted with arrows.  
See the full-sized image by selecting a thumbnail (using the Up or Down 4-Way Cursor  
keys), then using the Right 4-Way Cursor key to view the full image. A border around the  
full-size screen capture indicates that it is just a screen capture, not a “live” view. You can  
delete the selected image, or all captured images, using Delete Image or Delete All  
Images from the Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu. (See Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu:  
Delete Image and Delete All Images for more information).  
700 Series™ Defaults to Simulator with a Transducer Attached  
A connected and functioning transducer will cause the newly-started Fishing System to go into  
Normal operating mode automatically. If, when you power up the Fishing System, it goes into  
Simulator mode automatically, even though a transducer is already connected, this means that  
the control head is not detecting the transducer. Perform the following troubleshooting tasks:  
Using the Installation Guide that also comes with your Fishing System, check to make  
sure that the transducer cable is securely connected to the Fishing System. Reconnect if  
necessary, and power up the Fishing System again to see if this fixes the problem.  
NOTE: You may view data files associated with each screen snapshot by removing the MMC/SD  
card from your unit and installing it in your optional-purchase MMC/SD card reader connected to  
a PC. Use Windows Explorer to see the contents of your MMC/SD card; you will notice that a .DAT  
(may show up as .TXT) file is created for every .BMP screen capture; this data file includes the  
thumbnail view, and is required in order to be able to view the screen snapshot from your 700 series  
unit, so don’t delete these files.  
Replace the non-functioning transducer with a known good transducer if available and  
power up the control head again.  
Check the transducer cable. Replace the transducer if the cable is damaged or corroded.

Display Problems  
Finding the Cause of Noise  
There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may cause problems  
with the quality of the information displayed on the control head. Look in the following table for  
some symptoms of display problems and possible solutions:  
Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds, and high  
sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause noise or interference:  
Possible Source of Noise  
Other electronic devices  
Isolation  
Problem  
Possible Cause  
Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if the  
problem goes away, then turn them on one at a time to  
see if the noise re-appears.  
The control head loses power  
at high speeds.  
If the power output of your boat’s engine is  
unregulated, the control head may be protecting itself  
using its over-voltage protection feature. Make sure the  
input voltage does not exceed 20 Volts.  
The boat’s engine  
To determine whether the boat’s engine is the source  
of the noise, increase the RPMs while the boat is in  
neutral and stationary to see if the noise increases  
proportionately; if noise appears when you rev the  
engine, the problem could be the spark plugs, alternator,  
or tachometer wiring. Replace the spark plugs with  
resistor plugs, install an alternator filter, or route the  
control head power and transducer cables away from the  
engine wiring.  
When the boat moves at  
higher speeds, the bottom  
disappears or suddenly  
weakens, or the display  
contains gaps.  
The transducer position may need to be adjusted. A  
mix of air and water flowing around the transducer  
(cavitation) may be interfering with the interpretation  
of sonar data. See your Installation Guide for  
suggestions on adjusting the transducer position.  
Electrical noise from the boat’s engine may be  
interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the Cause  
of Noise for more information.  
Turbulence created by the propeller can cause noise;  
make sure the transducer is mounted at least 15” (38 cm)  
from the propeller, and that the water flows smoothly  
over the face of the transducer at all times.  
Cavitation from the boat’s  
propeller  
There are no fish detected,  
even when you know they are  
in the water under the boat,  
or sonar readings seem weak  
or faulty.  
Sonar readings may be affected if the transducer is not  
positioned correctly (i.e. mounted at an angle, not  
straight down), or there is some kind of mechanical  
interference, either because it is mounted inside a hull  
that is too thick for proper sonar transmission, the bond  
between the transducer and the hull is not airtight, or  
because the transducer is dirty. Check with your  
Installation Guide for guidance on re-positioning the  
transducer, and make sure the transducer is clean.  
Low battery voltage may be affecting the power of  
signal transmission.  
Electrical noise from the boat’s engine may be  
interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the Cause  
of Noise for more information.

Customizable Digital Readouts: Customizable Digital Readouts is a Humminbird® feature that  
permits the user to select the specific digital information that appears in the main Sonar view (i.e.  
Speed, Temperature, Barometric Pressure, TripLog, etc.)  
Glossary  
Sonar Terms:  
Dead Zone: The dead zone is the area of the sonar beam that receives the sonar signal after the  
main bottom return. Fish and other objects close to the bottom that fall within the dead zone will  
probably not be visible in the sonar beam. Precision sonar beams, such as the Humminbird® 20°  
beam, have a smaller dead zone than wider sonar beams.  
Alarm, Depth: Depth Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds when depth is less  
than or equal to the setting.  
Alarm, Temperature: Temperature Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds when  
the water surface temperature equals the setting.  
Decibel: A Decibel is the measurement for sound pressure level, or "intensity" of the sonar return.  
See dB Down Point.  
Backlight: Backlight is a user-controllable illumination for the LCD for night and low light use.  
dB Down Point: The dB Down Point is the standard decibel level at which the sonar cone angle is  
measured, and is written as "@ -10 dB" or "@ -3 dB". Measurements at smaller down points (bigger  
negative numbers) indicate that the less intensive sonar signals are being used for the  
measurement.  
Beam (Sonar Beam): A sonar beam is the wide, cone-shaped projection of sound waves formed as  
sound travels underwater. See Cone Angle.  
Big Digits View: Big Digits View is a Humminbird® feature that displays the sonar graph and  
enlarged digital readouts for easy reading from a distance. This is a great tool when monitoring  
the digital depth is important - such as with higher boat speeds, or when viewing the unit from a  
distance. When speed input is available, the Big Digits View also shows the TripLog. See TripLog.  
Display, FSTN: FSTN is an acronym for Film Super-Twist Nematic. FSTN is a monochrome display  
technology characterized by black, high-contrast pixels. All monochrome fixed mount  
Humminbird® products use FSTN technology.  
Bottom Black: Bottom Black is a Humminbird® feature that "fills in" the area of the display below  
the bottom contour. Bottom Black is preferred by some anglers because of its high contrast and  
easy readability, even though it can obscure bottom hardness information.  
DualBeam PLUS™: DualBeam PLUS™ is a Humminbird® sonar configuration that uses two sonar  
beams simultaneously, and combines the information from both beams into one view by  
overlapping the data on-screen, or shows each beam individually side by side, or permits each  
beam to be viewed individually full screen.  
Bottom Contour: Bottom Contour is the profile of the bottom graphed to the display as the  
depth changes.  
Feature Memory: Feature Memory is a Humminbird® feature that retains the user's menu  
settings in permanent memory. Settings are retained even when the unit is powered off  
indefinitely.  
Bottom Hardness: Bottom Hardness is the density (or composition) of the bottom, which can  
often be determined by interpreting the main sonar return. Varying levels of hardness can be  
determined by interpreting the "thickness" of the sonar return. Hard returns appear thin and  
black, softer returns appear thicker and less black. It is important to note that a sonar return from  
a sloping bottom can have the appearance of a softer bottom.  
Fish Arch: A Fish Arch is the apparent "arch" that appears on the display when any object moves  
through the sonar cone. The arch results from a gradual decrease in distance to an object as it  
moves into the sonar cone. The distance to an object changes due to the conical shape of the sonar  
beam, which causes the distance to be greater at the edges of the beam than at the center of the  
beam. When this distance change is graphed on the display, an arch appears.  
Cavitation: Cavitation is the effect of air bubbles created as the propeller rotates and the boat  
moves through the water.  
Chart Speed: Chart Speed is a user-controllable feature that sets the speed at which sonar  
information moves across the display. A faster setting displays sonar information from more pings  
and shows more detail, but the information moves quickly across the display: a slower setting  
permits viewing of more sonar history, but does not display as much detail. The best setting is  
often the user's personal choice.  
Fish ID+™: Fish ID+™ is a Humminbird® feature that uses advanced sonar processing algorithms  
to determine if a detected object is likely to be a fish. When the sonar signal from an object meets  
strict parameters, the unit draws a Fish Symbol (or icon) and the digital depth of the target. On  
DualBeam and DualBeam PLUS™ units, fish detected in the narrow center beam are shown as  
shaded symbols, and fish detected in the wider beam are shown as hollow symbols.  
Cone Angle: The cone angle is the angular measurement of the sonar beam at a specific dB down  
point (i.e. -10 dB). See dB Down Point.  
Fish Symbol: A Fish Symbol is the graphic that is displayed on the screen when Fish ID+  
determines that a sonar return is likely to be a fish. See Fish ID+.

Freeze Frame: Freeze Frame is a Humminbird® feature that pauses the sonar scrolling so that the  
image on screen can be studied with greater detail. See Instant Image Update.  
dot pattern. Electrical noise can be isolated by selectively turning on and off other electrical  
devices to determine the source. Often re-routing the power cable, or connecting to an alternative  
power supply (second battery) can help overcome electrical noise. Hydrodynamic noise (from  
propeller and/or hull cavitation) has a more random appearance and is generally related to boat  
speed, so that faster operation results in more noise. Hydrodynamic noise can be overcome by  
proper transducer installation. Many Humminbird® products have a Noise Filter menu setting  
that allows the user to clear the screen of noise that is difficult to eliminate.  
Frequency: Frequency is a measure of the number of sound wave cycles per second of a sound  
impulse transmitted underwater. A typical frequency for fishfinders is 200 kHz, which offers a  
good balance of performance under many conditions. Lower frequencies, such as 50 kHz, are  
capable of penetrating to greater depths, but with less resolution. Higher frequencies, such as 455  
kHz, offer greater resolution, but are limited in depth performance. Humminbird® uses a variety  
of frequencies that are optimized for specific applications.  
Pixels: Pixels are the "picture elements", or small square blocks, that make up the image on the  
LCD. Measured as a vertical by horizontal number (i.e. 640V x 320H), this key specification typically  
indicates the quality of resolution. In fishfinders, the total resolution (vertical multiplied by  
horizontal) is often less important than the "Vertical Pixel" resolution. See Pixels, Vertical.  
Grayscale: Grayscale is the use of varying shades of gray to represent the strength of the sonar  
signal on the display , and is a very intuitive method of presenting information. Traditionally, the  
strongest sonar signals are represented in black, and progressively weaker signals are represented  
in progressively lighter shades of gray.  
Pixels, Vertical: Vertical Pixels are a number of vertical picture elements in a single column on an  
LCD display. A greater number of vertical pixels provide finer resolution of targets detected by  
sonar. Essentially, a vertical distance (the depth), when divided by a larger number, breaks that  
distance into smaller samples, each representing a smaller area and thus providing more detail. In  
fishfinders, vertical pixels are more critical than horizontal pixels because the horizontal axis of the  
display represents time, or history. Sonar information on the horizontal axis can vary greatly,  
depending on boat speed and the Chart Speed setting. A greater number of horizontal pixels show  
more sonar history that the boat has passed through. On many models, Humminbird® provides  
the most vertical pixels to provide a better display resolution. See Chart Speed and Pixels.  
Grayscale, Inverse: Inverse Grayscale is a Humminbird® feature that reverses the correlation of  
sonar signal strength and the shade of gray typically used to represent it. The strongest sonar  
signals are represented by "white", and progressively weaker signals are represented in  
progressively darker shades of gray. While somewhat counter-intuitive, this method makes the  
sonar images crisper, and has the benefit of enhancing the apparent sensitivity because the  
weaker signals appear bolder. Inverse grayscale works well in very clear water. Debris-laden water  
often appears as a lot of clutter on the screen.  
Instant Image Update: Instant Image Update is a Humminbird® feature that updates all the sonar  
information on the display when Sensitivity and a variety of sonar settings (Bottom View, Range,  
etc.) are modified. This differs from the traditional functionality that only updates the new sonar  
information collected after the setting change. Instant Image Update permits more accurate fine-  
tuning of the display because the user can see the results on the complete sonar graph. When  
combined with the Freeze Frame feature, the user can adjust and understand the effects of many  
different sonar settings quickly and easily.  
Power Output: Power output is the amount of sound energy emitted into the water by the sonar  
transmitter. Power output is measured using either RMS (Root Mean Square) or P-T-P (Peak-to-  
Peak) measurement systems. Either method is acceptable, but it is important, when comparing  
power outputs, to make sure that the same measurement system is being used for both outputs,  
because P-T-P numbers are 8 times higher than RMS numbers. Greater power output allows the  
sonar signal to penetrate through weeds and thermoclines, reach deeper depths and operate  
more effectively in noisy environments, such as when the boat is running at high speed.  
Maximum Depth Menu: The Maximum Depth Menu is a Humminbird® feature that optimizes  
performance based on the maximum operational depth set by the user. Many Humminbird®  
units can operate across a very broad depth range (up to 2500 feet) which causes the unit to "look"  
up to that full depth under some circumstances. Due to the speed of sound in water, this can result  
in less responsiveness because the unit has to wait for a longer period of time to receive the sonar  
signal. When the Maximum Depth menu is set to a lower value, the unit only looks up to the  
setting, which increases the responsiveness of the unit. This is an important feature for anyone  
operating in shallower depths!  
Pulse Width (Pulse Length): Pulse Width is the length of time that a sonar sound burst is  
transmitted into the water. Shorter pulse widths provide better target separation, but cannot  
travel to great depths. Longer pulse widths provide better depth penetration, but result in poorer  
target separation. Humminbird® varies pulse width based on depth to optimize both target  
separation and depth performance. See Target Separation.  
QuadraBeam™: QuadraBeam™ is a Humminbird® sonar configuration that uses four sonar beams  
for a more detailed bottom image. QuadraBeam™ uses the DualBeam PLUS™ configuration for  
downlooking, and also adds two additional beams to look to the left and right. The sonar beams  
pointing to the left and right provide the ability to spot fish and structure over a wide 90° area,  
and to identify on which side of the boat they are located. See DualBeam PLUS™.  
Noise: Noise is unintentional, external sound waves that interfere with the optimal operation of  
sonar. Noise appears as random "dots" on the display, and is caused by a variety of sources.  
Electrical noise (from trolling motors, bilge pumps, VHF radios) typically manifests as a consistent

Quick Disconnect Mount: The Quick Disconnect Mounting system is an exclusive  
Humminbird® feature that permits the unit to be easily removed from the mounting base by  
pressing a release button, and re-installed by simply snapping it back into place. All cable  
connections are made when installing, so that no separate wiring connections are required.  
Additionally, the mount offers 90° tilt and 360° swivel capability to adjust the viewing angle  
of the unit as you move about the boat.  
Sonar Update Rate: Sonar Update Rate is the number of times per second that the  
transmitter/receiver sends and receives sonar signals. A very fast sonar update rate collects more  
information and provides a more detailed image of the bottom, fish and structure. Many  
Humminbird® units operate at up to 40 times per second when in single frequency operation.  
Due to the limitation of the speed of sound in water, the update rate begins to slow as depth  
increases to deeper than 50 feet. In very shallow water (less than 10 feet), however, update rates  
as much as 60 times per second can be achieved.  
Real Time Sonar: Real Time Sonar is a Humminbird® technology that delivers ultra-fast sonar  
transmitter/receiver operation and results in a more detailed instantaneous view of what is under  
the boat. The Real Time Sonar window is a vertical band at the right side of the display that shows  
the instantaneous sonar return from the transducer at a particular instant. The RTS® Window  
menu option permits the user to adjust the window to show the full sonar signal return, or just a  
narrower band that indicates intensity using grayscale. Real Time Sonar relies on very fast Sonar  
Update Rate (Ping Speed). See Sonar Update Rate.  
Speed: Speed is the rate at which the boat moves through the water. Boat speed can be measured  
as Speed Over Ground or Speed Through Water. Speed Over Ground is provided by GPS, and is the  
measurement of the boats progress across a given distance. Speed Through Water is provided by  
a speed paddlewheel, and is the measurement of the flow past the boat, which may vary  
depending on current speed and direction. Speed Through Water is most critical for anglers using  
downriggers, as it impacts the running depth of the down riggers. Speed Over Ground is optimal  
for navigation, as accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement.  
Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both sources.  
Receiver: See Transmitter.  
Second Return: The Second Return is a term that describes the appearance of a second sonar  
return below the primary sonar return (bottom contour) at exactly twice the true depth. The  
second return is caused by the same sonar energy bouncing off the bottom once, rebounding to  
the water surface and then traveling back down to the bottom to be reflected again. Second  
returns are more common in shallow water and over hard bottoms; it is actually possible to see a  
third sonar return under some circumstances. The second return provides useful information to  
help determine bottom hardness, as areas with harder bottoms will generally create a second  
return. The second return can be used as a guide to set Sensitivity when in shallower water.  
Structure: Structure is a general term for objects on the bottom that present a discontinuity and  
are a likely attractor for fish. This includes bottom contour features (drop-offs, humps, and holes),  
standing structure (stumps, timbers, brush piles) and a wide range of other potential objects  
(sunken boats, reefs). Humminbird® units excel at showing structure with great detail over a  
wider area due to unique sonar configurations developed for the angler.  
Structure ID®: Structure ID® is a Humminbird® feature that describes the traditional grayscale  
method of presenting sonar information. See Grayscale.  
Surface Clutter: Surface Clutter is a phenomenon where sonar returns are reflected off of tiny  
objects near the surface of the water, including algae and even air bubbles. Typically, saltwater  
environments have significantly greater surface clutter than freshwater due to continuous wind  
and wave action that causes aeration at the surface. The Surface Clutter menu provides manual  
control to bias the default settings under extreme conditions.  
Sensitivity: Sensitivity is a user feature that adjusts the sensitivity of the sonar system to show  
more or less detail in the water. Higher sensitivities are often preferred, however, when the water  
contains debris (silt, storm debris, etc.) and it can be difficult to pick out targets. Conversely, if  
sensitivity is set too low, relevant targets may be missed.  
SONAR: SONAR is the acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar technology uses  
precision sound bursts transmitted underwater to determine the distance and other attributes of  
objects in the water. Distance can be determined because the speed of sound in water is constant,  
and the time for the signal to return is measured. Sound also travels very quickly underwater,  
making sonar a responsive, cost-effective tool. Sonar is the basic technology behind all  
recreational and commercial fishfinding and depthfinding devices.  
Target Separation: Target Separation is the measurement of minimum distance that a  
fishfinder needs to be able to recognize two very close objects as two distinct targets (i.e. two  
fish hanging very close, or a fish hanging very close to structure). Humminbird® findfinders  
provide a very good 2 1/2 inches of target separation in shallower than 100 feet of depth.  
Target separation decreases as depth increases due to the need for longer Pulse Width to  
achieve greater depth. See Pulse Width.  
Sonar Echo Enhancement: Sonar Echo Enhancement is a Humminbird® feature that describes the  
high degree of sonar sensitivity achieved through a combination of transmitter/receiver and  
software algorithms. The result of Sonar Echo Enhancement is to display virtually everything in  
the water that is of interest to the angler, including bait fish, game fish, thermoclines, weed beds,  
subtle structure, and more.  
Thermoclines: Thermoclines are water layer(s) of distinctly different temperatures that create a  
sonar reflection due to the density of the differing water temperatures. Typically a thermocline  
will appear as a continuous band across the display at some distance above the bottom contour.  
Thermoclines are of interest to anglers because fish will suspend above or below the thermocline  
as they seek the optimum temperature and oxygen levels.

Time Variable Gain: Time Variable Gain is a processing step applied to the sonar return to  
"normalize" the data so that objects of equal size (i.e. fish) appear to be the same size, even if they  
are separated by a good distance. Time Variable Gain is a fundamental attribute of good sonar, but  
is often promoted as a feature.  
WhiteLine®: WhiteLine® is a Humminbird® feature that highlights the strongest sonar return on  
the display using a very light gray band. This is preferred by some anglers who have grown  
accustomed to the feature on paper graph chart recorders.  
WideSide®: WideSide® is a Humminbird® sonar configuration used in an optional transducer.  
WideSide® uses three sonar beams pointing to the left, right and down. Beams pointing to the left  
and right are effective for spotting fish and structure near the surface or on the bank. The  
downlooking beam provides depth information directly below the boat.  
Total Screen Update®: A Humminbird® feature that refreshes and updates all the sonar  
information on the display when a range change occurs. Without Total Screen Update®, only the  
most recent sonar information would be drawn to the new range, and the old sonar information  
would continue to scroll off the screen at the old range.  
X-Press™ Menu: X-Press™ Menus are a Humminbird® feature that make the most commonly-used  
menu selections available with one press of the MENU key. Items that appear on the  
X-Press™ Menu are related to the current view, and present the most logical choices for that view.  
Sonar View X-Press™ menus will differ from Chart View X-Press™ menus, etc. X-Press™ menus are  
one of the principal reasons that Humminbird® products are easier to use.  
Transducer: The transducer is part of the sonar system, which mounts on the boat and is in  
contact with the water, that converts the electrical energy from the transmitter into sound energy,  
and that forms the sonar beam in turn. Internally, the transducer consists of one or more piezo  
electric disks that expand by very minute amounts to create the sound wave. This element also  
works in reverse, converting the returned sound energy back into an electrical signal that the  
receiver interprets. Transducers are available for many specific mounting applications for the boat,  
such as a transom mount, trolling motor mount, etc. Humminbird® offers many sophisticated  
transducers, often with multiple piezo electric elements designed to form specifically-shaped  
sonar beams, providing the angler with superior tools for finding and catching fish. See  
Transmitter and SONAR.  
Zoom: Zoom is a feature that focuses in on a smaller area of the bottom to provide enhanced  
resolution. With enhanced resolution, the angler can more easily see fish hanging in structure or  
multiple fish hanging close together. Split screen zoom divides the display into the full range view  
on the right, and the zoomed view on the left. Humminbird® offers One-Touch® Zoom which  
allows the zoom feature to be easily accessed from the regular sonar view with just one key press,  
eliminating the need to use menus to access the feature.  
Transmitter: The transmitter and receiver are matched parts of the sonar system that send  
(transmit) and listen to (receive) the sonar signals, and work in conjunction with the transducer.  
Humminbird® transmitters have an extremely fast cycling design that can send signals up to 60  
times per second, as well as produce the varying levels of power output needed for different  
depths and conditions. Additionally, the transmitter has the capability to create very precise sonar  
pulses needed for a high degree of target separation. Humminbird® receivers are extremely  
sensitive, but within a narrow "bandwidth" to discriminate against noise from external sources.  
Additionally, the receiver offers a wide "dynamic range" which provides the ability to receive very  
strong signals alternating with very weak signals, without the strong signal overwhelming the  
weak signal. See Transducer and Noise.  
Zoom, Bottom Lock: Bottom Lock Zoom is a feature that focuses on a smaller area just above  
the bottom to provide enhanced resolution. Unlike regular zoom, it continuously graphs the  
bottom at a constant point on the display regardless of changes in depth. This "flattens" out  
the bottom contour, but is effective at showing fish on or near the bottom, and is preferred by

TripLog: TripLog is a Humminbird® feature that provides an on-screen counter for Elapsed Time,  
Average Speed and Total Distance traveled, and requires a speed input to activate the feature.  
TripLog appears on the Big Digits View, and can be reset to zero through the TripLog menu.  
TrueArch®: TrueArch® is a Humminbird® feature that provides true fish arches, not artificial arches  
or symbols. Humminbird® units are capable of producing fish arches due to the wide 60° sonar  
beam of DualBeam PLUS™, an extremely sensitive sonar receiver. See Fish Arch.  
Viewing Angle: Viewing Angle is an attribute of an LCD that characterizes visibility of the  
display when viewing from off the central access, such as when standing to the side of the  
fishfinder. Wider viewing angles are better because the information remains visible even  
when viewing from the side.

correction signals are provided by the USCG and received by an auxiliary Differential Beacon  
Receiver (DBR) that connects to the GPS receiver. The advent of WAAS has largely negated the  
need for the added expense of a DBR in the United States.  
GPS & Navigation Terms:  
Acquisition Time: The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to determine a position  
from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers provide very fast acquisition times  
(under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water faster.  
Distance To Go: Distance To Go is the straight-line distance between Present Position and the  
Destination Waypoint. DTG and SOG (Speed Over Ground) are used to calculate Time To Go. See  
Time to Go and Speed Over Ground.  
Alarm, Arrival: The audible alert that sounds when the boat is equal to or less than the alarm  
setting (25 feet–3000 feet) from the location of the destination waypoint.  
Estimated Position Error (EPE): Estimated Position Error is a calculation that indicates the  
potential position inaccuracy the user may experience due to a variety of GPS factors which  
include satellite position in the sky, signal strength and others factors.  
Alarm, Drift: Drift Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the boat is equal to or over the  
alarm setting (25 feet–3000 feet) from the location where the alarm was turned on.  
Alarm, Off-Course: Off-Course Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the boat’s distance  
from the intended Track, (Cross Track Error), is equal to or over the alarm setting (25 feet – 3000  
feet). See Track and Cross Track Error.  
Fix Type: Fix Type indicates whether the GPS receiver is providing 2D fix or 3D fix. A 2D fix requires  
only three satellites and provides only latitude and longitude. A 3D fix requires four or more  
satellites, and provides latitude, longitude and altitude.  
Altitude: Altitude measures height above sea level. Altitude is a measurement that can be  
provided by GPS.  
GPS: GPS is an acronym for Global Positioning System. GPS provides accurate position (latitude,  
longitude, altitude) information virtually anywhere on the earth through satellite technology and  
personal receivers on the ground. A series of geosynchronous satellites broadcast a unique signal  
toward the earth once per second. A GPS receiver, such as that included with many Humminbird®  
products, receives the signals from these satellites and is able to determine position based on  
very slight differences in the time each signal is received and the receiver’s knowledge of the  
location of each of the satellites.  
Bearing (BRG): Bearing is the direction to a destination waypoint measured in degrees from  
North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West).  
Chartplotter: Chartplotter describes a navigation device that shows Present Position on a Map,  
along with Tracks, Waypoints, and Routes. All Chartplotters are also considered Trackplotters. All  
Humminbird® GPS Combo units are Chartplotters. See Trackplotter.  
Heading: Heading describes the direction the boat is pointing and is measured in degrees (i.e.  
321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). Due to wind and waves, the  
boat is often traveling in a slightly different direction than it is heading, and therefore Heading is  
often confused with Course Over Ground. See Course Over Ground.  
Cold Start: Cold Start refers to the procedure that a GPS receiver must perform when it does not  
have historical information regarding its current location. This procedure typically lasts for several  
minutes, and may be experienced upon first power up of the receiver, or if the receiver has been  
moved a great distance.  
Map Datum: A Map Datum refers to a particular survey of the earth’s surface that was referenced  
when creating a chart (i.e. WGS84). Since the earth is not flat, and not even consistently round, a  
mathematical model must be used to translate coordinates from the sphere of the earth to the  
flat surface of a chart. This mathematical model is the Map Datum. Historically, many different  
Map Datums have been used around the world to create maps; often a reference to the Map  
Datum can be found in the legend of a paper map. It is important to select the correct Map  
Datum setting in your fishfinder when comparing GPS position to a paper chart to avoid slight  
position inaccuracies. Almost all electronic charts use the WGS84 Map Datum and therefore, they  
do not require setting changes.  
Course Over Ground (COG): Course Over Ground is the current direction the boat is traveling  
measured in degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is  
West). When the Course Over Ground is equal to Bearing, the boat is said to be “On Course” and  
will arrive at the destination in the most efficient manner. COG is often confused with Heading.  
See Heading.  
Cross Track Error (XTE): Cross Track Error is the straight-line distance of the boat from the  
intended Track. XTE measures how far the boat is off course, and also triggers the Off Course  
Alarm. See Track.  
MMC: MMC is an acronym for Multi Media Card. An MMC is a postage stamp-sized memory  
device used to store electronic data such a maps, waypoints, routes and other information. MMC  
is a very rugged format suitable for the marine environment, but it is not waterproof. The MMC  
is removable from Humminbird® products, and can be used in a PC that is equipped with an  
Differential GPS (DGPS): Differential GPS is a system to improve the position accuracy of the  
Department of Defense GPS through the use of secondary “correction signals” broadcast from  
ground stations around the coastal United States and on some inland waterways. These

appropriate card reader. MMC is the same format that many digital cameras use. See SD.  
navigation because accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement.  
Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both speed measurements.  
North, Magnetic: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is 000°).  
Magnetic North relies on the earth’s magnetic field to align a metal pointer generally towards  
True North. However, due to local variations in the earth’s magnetic field around the globe, the  
difference between True North and Magnetic North can be greater than 10°. See True North.  
Time To Go (TTG): Time To Go is the estimated time required to reach the destination waypoint.  
TTG is calculated using the SOG and DTG. See SOG and DTG.  
Track: A Track is a series of saved points that define the past path of the boat. These Track Points  
are saved at regular time intervals. Tracks are a useful and quick method to see where you’ve  
been, and an easy guide to follow to get you back to the starting point. Generally, all GPS units  
have a limited number of Track Points that can be saved before the unit runs out of memory and  
begins erasing the first track points saved. Because of this, the user can adjust the Track Point  
Interval menu to increase the amount of time between when points are saved, and thus extend  
the distance covered by a track. Tracks can also be permanently saved to memory, and re-  
displayed at the user’s option.  
North, True: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is 000°). True North  
uses the axis of the rotation of the earth as the reference for North and is constant for all points  
on the earth. Most GPS units default to True North as the setting. The GPS heading may vary from  
the boat compass heading because the compass uses Magnetic North. Humminbird® GPS units  
provide the option of selecting True or Magnetic readouts by using the North Reference menu.  
See Magnetic North.  
Present Position: Present Position is the current location (latitude, longitude) determined by GPS.  
The Present Position is indicated on-screen by a directional boat icon if the boat is moving, or a  
round symbol if the boat is stationary.  
Track Line (TRK): The Track Line is the desired line of travel between two waypoints, and  
represents the most efficient path between the two points because it is a straight line. The TRK is  
measured in degrees (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). See  
Cross Track Error, Course Over Ground.  
Route: A Route is series of waypoints linked together in a specific sequence to define a navigation  
path between two points, and saved in the fishfinder’s memory. Routes are often used when  
frequently traveling between two or more locations because it is a faster and more accurate  
method than repeatedly selecting individual waypoints each time one travels through the same  
area. Routes consist of a Start Waypoint, an End Waypoint, and a series of waypoints in between.  
Users can begin navigation at the beginning, the end (to run the route in reverse) or at any  
waypoint in between. See Waypoint.  
Trackplotter: Trackplotter describes a navigation device that shows Present Position, along with  
Track, Waypoint, and Routes, but NO MAP in the background. See Chartplotter.  
Trolling Grid: Trolling Grid is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise reference grid around  
a waypoint. This grid is used as a guide pattern for trolling around a specific area to assure a more  
efficient and complete coverage of that area. Trolling Grid resolution be changed by zooming in  
or out on the chart. The Trolling Grid can also be rotated on the display to orient it for optimal boat  
course for wave and wind conditions.  
SD: SD is an acronym for Secure Digital. An SD card is virtually identical in function to an MMC;  
however, the speed at which information can be accessed is generally faster, the storage capacity  
is generally larger, and the card has security features which can be used to prevent extracting the  
data from the card. SD is the same format that many digital cameras use. See MMC.  
UTC: UTC is an acronym for Universal Time Constant. UTC is the “standard time” used in  
navigation, and is the local time in Greenwich England. (UTC is equivalent to Greenwich Mean  
Time (GMT)). To display the correct Local Time in a Humminbird® GPS unit, the user must use the  
Local Time Zone menu and select the time zone (i.e. EST, CST).  
Selective Availability: Selective Availability (SA) is a GPS system “feature” that can be  
implemented by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to degrade the accuracy of GPS  
positioning information. With SA active, the GPS is accurate to within 100 meters 95% of the  
time. With SA inactive, the GPS is accurate to within 45 meters 95% of the time. Currently, SA is  
inactive and the consumer can enjoy the greater precision GPS provides; however, the DoD  
reserves the right to activate SA at any time.  
WAAS: WAAS is an acronym for Wide Area Augmentation System. WAAS is complementary  
technology to GPS that provides enhanced accuracy through correction signals broadcast from  
Federal Aviation Administration WAAS satellites stationed over the USA. These secondary signals  
are automatically received by the standard Humminbird® GPS Receiver. With WAAS signal, GPS  
accuracy is improved to within 3 meters 95% of the time. Outside the United States, regional  
governmental coalitions have created similar systems such as EGNOS (Europe) and MSAS (Japan).  
Speed Over Ground (SOG): Speed Over Ground is the measurement of the boat’s progress across  
a given distance, and is the speed measurement provided by GPS. An alternate, Speed Through  
Water, is provided by a speed paddlewheel, and is the measurement of the flow past the boat,  
which may vary depending on current speed and direction. Speed Over Ground is optimal for  
Waypoint: A Waypoint is the saved location (latitude, longitude) of a point of interest that is  
stored in a GPS receiver’s memory. This can include a marker buoy, dock, fishing hole or anywhere

else the user may want to return to. Humminbird® products offer the ability to name and assign  
a symbol to the saved location. Depth, Date and Time of Day when the waypoint was created is  
also saved.

Waypoint Target: Waypoint Target is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise “bull’s eye”  
around a selected waypoint. This bull’s eye is used to easily monitor boat position relative to a  
waypoint, and is useful for fishing over submerged structure. With Waypoint Targets, a quick look  
at the screen lets you know how far off the waypoint the boat has drifted.
