WEEE DIRECTIVE: EU Directive 2002/96/EC “Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive (WEEE)” impacts most distributors, sellers, and manufacturers of consumer
electronics in the European Union. The WEEE Directive requires the producer of consumer
electronics to take responsibility for the management of waste from their products to
achieve environmentally responsible disposal during the product life cycle.
WEEE compliance may not be required in your location for electrical & electronic equipment
(EEE), nor may it be required for EEE designed and intended as fixed or temporary
installation in transportation vehicles such as automobiles, aircraft, and boats. In some
European Union member states, these vehicles are considered outside of the scope of the
Directive, and EEE for those applications can be considered excluded from the WEEE
Directive requirement.
This symbol (WEEE wheelie bin) on product indicates the product must not be
disposed of with other household refuse. It must be disposed of and collected for
recycling and recovery of waste EEE. Humminbird® will mark all EEE products in
accordance with the WEEE Directive. It is our goal to comply in the collection,
treatment, recovery, and environmentally sound disposal of those products; however, these
requirements do vary within European Union member states. For more information about
where you should dispose of your waste equipment for recycling and recovery and/or your
European Union member state requirements, please contact your dealer or distributor from
which your product was purchased.
ROHS STATEMENT: Product designed and intended as a fixed installation or part of a
system in a vessel may be considered beyond the scope of Directive 2002/95/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the restriction of the use of
certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS: Products sold in the U.S. are not
intended for use in the international market. Humminbird® international units
provide international features and are designed to meet country and regional
regulations. Languages, maps, time zones, units of measurement, and warranty
are examples of features that are customized for Humminbird® international units

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 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.
How Sonar Works

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an
easy to interpret “graph“ of the bottom, fish, and
structure appears.
The sound pulses are transmitted at various
frequencies depending on the application. Very
high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest
definition but the operating depth is limited. High
frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on
consumer sonar and provide a good balance
between depth performance and resolution. Low
frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to achieve
greater depth capability.
The power output is the amount of energy
generated by the sonar transmitter. It is commonly
measured using two methods:
• 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.

Side Imaging® Sonar
Your 700 Series™ Fishing System
uses Side Imaging® sonar to provide
a wide yet precise survey of a large
area of water, including detailed
bottom topography and fish-
attracting structure orientation. The
Side Imaging® transducer returns are
processed into an image similar to an
aerial photograph. Typically, the Side
Imaging® sonar searches an area
that is 240 feet wide to each side,
480 feet total side coverage, with a
depth limitation of 150 feet. See
What’s on the Side Imaging® Display
for more information.
Depth capability is affected by such
factors as boat speed, wave action,
bottom hardness, water conditions,
and transducer installation.

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.
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.

Dual Beam Ice Transducer
(optional-purchase XI 9 20 Ice Transducer only)
Ice transducer
Your Fishing System supports the optional-
purchase XI 9 20 Ice Transducer which
provides selectable dual-frequency sonar
with a wide area of coverage. Selectable
dual-frequency gives you the option of two
beams, and both beams will cover the
bottom and provide high definition. The
20° center beam provides the highest
definition, while the 60° beam provides
wider coverage. Depth capability is
affected by such factors as bottom
hardness and water conditions. Whether
fishing in shallow or very deep water,
selectable dual-frequency is ideal for a
variety of conditions.

QuadraBeam PLUS™ Sonar
(with optional-purchase
QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer)
Your Fishing System also supports
QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar with the
purchase of an additional QuadraBeam
PLUS™ transducer. QuadraBeam PLUS™
sonar provides an extremely wide 90° area
of coverage. QuadraBeam PLUS™ starts
with two fan-shaped 35° 455 kHz Side
Structure locating sonar beams to spot fish,
bait, and structure to the left and right of
the boat over an area of the bottom that’s
always equal to twice your depth. For a
detailed view below the boat, QuadraBeam
PLUS™ uses DualBeam PLUS™ technology,
with precision 20° and wide 60° beams.
QuadraBeam PLUS™ finds more fish faster
and can even tell you where to put your bait
by showing if fish are to the left, right, or
directly beneath your boat.

(compatible w/ optional-purchase Minnkota trolling motors)
Your 700 Series™ Fishing System supports Universal Sonar 2, a state-of-the-
art, integrated and protected transducer that is built into the lower unit of
Minnkota trolling motors. With Universal Sonar 2, all wiring is concealed inside
the indestructible composite shaft—out of sight and out of harm’s way, with
no clamps, ties, or exposed wires. Universal Sonar 2 features new temperature
sensing and the performance of DualBeam PLUS™ technology (available with
all Humminbird® DualBeam PLUS™ models). An expanded view and greater
bottom detail gives you a totally new perspective of the water below, along
with optimal sonar performance to help you find fish.

How GPS Works
Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also supports GPS (Global Positioning
System) and chartplotting. It uses GPS and sonar to determine your position,
display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information.
GPS uses a constellation of satellites that
continually send radio signals to the earth. 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.
GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take
advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 4.5
meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS
receiver will read a location within 4.5 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.
The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 700 Series™
Fishing System when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:
• View current position
• View current track (breadcrumb trail)
• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver
• Save tracks, waypoints, and routes
• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next
See Chart View and Add Maps to Your Fishing System for more information.

Understanding the Sonar Display
It is important to understand the significance of
the 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.
The returned sonar echoes are displayed on the
screen. As a new echo is received, the historical
data scrolls across the screen.
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™ 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 Tab: RTS Window™).
The Narrow RTS Window™
indicates the sonar intensity
through the use of colors. Red
indicates a strong return and
blue indicates a weak return.
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 indicates
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 use
grayscale.

Bottom Presentation
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.

Understanding the Side Imaging® Display
It is important to understand how Side Imaging® technology produces the
display. The images you see on the display are produced using sonar
technology. The special transducer projects three distinct beams – one beam
facing down and two beams pointing out to the side.
Down Beam is aimed directly below the boat and provides conical
coverage.
Side Beams are aimed at right angles to the path of the boat. The side
beam coverage is very thin from front to back, yet very wide top to
bottom. The narrow aspect (front to back) of the beam illuminates a
small strip of the bottom perpendicular to the direction of the boat.

data, drawn at the top of the screen, becomes available.

The main benefit of Side Imaging® sonar to anglers is that it provides an overall
survey of a large area of water. This gives you a better understanding of the
bottom topography and how structure is oriented for more efficient fishing.
Saltwater anglers pick up precise details of popular fishing structure like
wrecks, reefs, humps and drop-offs, as well as being able to spot bait balls in
open water. Freshwater anglers can see fish-attracting structure such as
timber, stumps, rocks, and creek beds.

Side Imaging® Frequencies and Coverage
Side Imaging® sonar uses two very precise sonar beams that are directed to
either side of the boat. The beams “illuminate” the bottom contour, structure,
and fish, and the results are displayed in a “picture-like” image on the screen.
• Frequencies: The side beams operate at a frequency of 455 kHz. Your
Side Imaging® transducer also provides DualBeam PLUS™ sonar
coverage at 200/83 kHz.
• Side Imaging® Beams are extremely narrow from front to back, and
provide “thin slices” of the bottom for high resolution imaging.
• Side Imaging® Range: 240 feet to each side, with a total side coverage
of 480 feet, with a depth limitation of 150 feet, depending on the
contour of the bottom and when the side beam frequency selection is
set to 455 kHz. The total coverage under the boat is 180 degrees.
455 kHz provides maximum coverage with 180° total beam width

For Best Performance
Use the following tips and examples to help you interpret the Side Imaging®
display.
For Best Side Imaging® Performance
• Boat speed: 2 to 6 mph
• Straight line navigation
• Minimum turning time and wave turbulence
See Side Imaging Tips for more information.
Boat speed: Side Imaging® is best performed at boat speeds between 2 to 6
mph. If the boat is stationary, the same information is displayed over and over.
If the boat is moving very quickly, there will be gaps between the strips of
information. The best boat speed to use will depend on the side range selected.
Slower speeds are good for longer ranges, while faster speeds can be used at
shorter ranges.
Boat navigation: It is important to understand that when the boat turns,
successive beam strips to one side will begin to overlap and the strips on the
other side will fan out, providing some distortion to the image.
Because of this, the best imaging performance is produced by straight line
navigation and minimal side-to-side boat motion (i.e. wave induced, etc.). This
applies to navigation by either the main engine or the trolling motor. Minimize
turning time and avoid wave action that induces large side-to-side rocking of
the boat. For example, if there is a lot of wave activity, try to move the boat so
that it is perpendicular to the waves instead of parallel with the waves in order
to minimize the side-to-side rocking of the boat.

Beam Coverage: When there is an area directly under the boat that does not
have SI beam coverage, this area will be covered by the standard 200/83 kHz
down-looking beam and displayed in the Sonar views. The net effect of this, on
the display, is that a single object may appear as two separate entities, when
in reality, it is one continuous object. See Submerged Bridge: A Closer
Perspective and the Submerged Bridge: Alternative Perspective illustrations
for examples of this.
See www.humminbird.com and www.sideimaging.com for a Side Imaging®
sonar tutorial and additional information.

Each time the unit pings, a strip of data
representing all the echoes received by the
transducer are put together on the display to
form the image that you see. Like traditional
2D Sonar, the sonar history scrolls left across
the screen.
Interpreting the Display
Down Imaging™ beams “illuminate” the bottom contour, structure, and fish.
The beams are wide (side to side) but very thin front to back.
Use the light and dark parts of the display to interpret the objects under your
boat as follows:
• Dark shades represent soft returns (mud, sand) or descending terrain.
• Light shades represent denser terrain (timber, rocks) or rising terrain. A
very hard bottom may appear as white on the display.
• White Streaks or Clouds may represent fish on the display.
• Shadows are not caused by light but by the lack of a sonar return.
Objects standing on the bottom cause a sonar shadow to appear on the
display. The longer the shadow, the taller the object. Fish may also cast
shadows. You can use the shadow to interpret where the fish or object
is located in relation to the bottom.

Down Imaging™ Sensitivity
Use Down Sensitivity to control how the sonar returns appear on the display.
Increase the sensitivity to reveal weaker returns that may be of interest,
especially in very clear water or greater depths. Decrease the sensitivity to
eliminate the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or
muddy water. See the Down Imaging™ X-Press™ Menu for more information.

Introduction to Navigation
Use your 700 Series™ Fishing System to mark waypoints at areas of interest
and to navigate to those waypoints via a savable route. A route represents the
shortest intended distance between waypoints. You can also view and save
tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat.
Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks
Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or
navigation points. Your Fishing System can store up to 3000 waypoints.
Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation and
are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the
GOTO key. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest
path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route
line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should
always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your 700 Series™ Fishing
System can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up to 50 waypoints.
Tracks consist of detailed position history and are displayed as a breadcrumb
trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit
was powered up (maximum of 20,000 trackpoints displayed). You can clear the
Current Track or save it at any time. Your 700 Series™ Fishing System can store
up to 50 saved tracks, each containing 20,000 trackpoints. The current track

When MOB is activated, a MOB waypoint is created at the boat's current
position, regardless of whether the chart cursor is active or not. The MOB
waypoint has a large, distinctive icon. Once MOB is activated, any current
navigation will be cancelled and the current route will be discarded without
user notification. MOB navigation will begin immediately, and the MOB View
will show the following:
• The view will switch to the Chart View, and the elapsed time since MOB
was activated will be displayed.
• A line will be drawn from the boat's current position to the MOB
waypoint, and the MOB waypoint will be targeted.

affect the display in the same way as
they would in Normal operation. Any
menu changes you make will be saved
for later use.
NOTE: It is important to select Simulator
manually from the Start-Up Options Menu as
opposed to letting the Fishing System enter
Simulator automatically (as it will if a

SI Side
Settings: Left, Both, Right; Default = Both
SI Side sets which transducer beam from the Side Imaging® beams will be
shown on the display.
SI Sensitivity
Settings: Auto, 1 to 20, where Low = 1, High = 20;
Default = 10
SI Sensitivity controls how the sonar returns are displayed on the
Side Imaging® Views.
Increase the SI Sensitivity to reveal weaker returns that may be of interest,
especially in very clear water or greater depths. A high SI Sensitivity setting
shows more sonar returns from small baitfish and suspended debris in the
water; however if the SI Sensitivity is adjusted too high, the display may
become too cluttered.
Decrease the SI Sensitivity to eliminate the clutter from the display that is
sometimes present in murky or muddy water. If SI Sensitivity is adjusted too
low, the display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish.

SI Enhance
Settings: Press the RIGHT Cursor key.
SI Enhance allows you to adjust your Side Imaging® View in three categories:
Sensitivity, Contrast, and Sharpness.
Whether you’re searching the Side Imaging® data for fish or certain bottom
contour, the most effective settings will vary with the situation. The display will
update as you adjust each category. SI Enhance can also be used during
Recording Playback (see Snapshot and Recording View).
SI Enhance Submenu
• Sensitivity: Controls how much detail is shown on the display. 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. (1 to 20, where Low = 1, High = 20, Default = 10)
NOTE: The Sensitivity can be adjusted from the SI Enhance dialog box or the Side
Imaging® X-Press™ Menu. The Sensitivity setting is provided here so that you can easily
adjust the Side Imaging® data with the other settings. See Side Imaging® X-Press™
Menu: SI Sensitivity for more information.
• Contrast: Accents the light and dark parts of the Side Imaging® data to
provide greater definition. (1-20, Default = 10)
• Sharpness: Filters the view and sharpens the edges of the Side
Imaging® data. (Low (L), Medium (M), High (H), Default = Off)
• Contour Mode: Controls how the water column is displayed in the Side
Imaging® Views. In the normal display with the Contour Mode off, the
water column is displayesd on the view. The location of a target on the
display is based on the slant range to the target.
Side Imaging® X-Press™ Menu
104
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
When Contour Mode is turned on, the bottom is graphed at a constant
point on the display, regardless of changes in depth. The Side Imaging®
beams are divided by a vertical line. The water column is removed from
the view, which allows the display to show targets at their linear
horizontal distance. The location of a target may be easier to interpret
when the water column is removed. (Off, On; Default = Off)
NOTE: If both SI Range Lines and Contour Mode are turned on, the SI Range Lines will
remain on the display, but the individual range numbers are not available (see Sonar
Menu Tab: SI Range Lines).
SI Range
Settings: 6 to 360 ft, or 2 to 120 m [International Models
only]; Default = 150 feet, 50 m
SI Range sets the deepest range that will displayed in the Side Imaging® views.
The range must be set manually.
Choose a low range number to focus on a shorter distance of the water column
and see greater detail on the screen. Choose a higher range number to view
farther into the water and see an overview of details on the screen.
Chart Speed
Settings: 1- 10, where 1 = Slow, 10 Fastest, Default = 5
Chart Speed determines the speed at which the side sonar information moves
down the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster speed
shows more information in the Side Imaging® Views 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, which allows you to
see an entire area.

Upper Range
(Advanced)
Settings: 0 to 1490 ft or 0 to 497 m [International Models
only]; Default = 0
Upper Range sets the shallowest depth range that will be displayed on the
Down Imaging™ Views. Upper Range is often used with Lower Range.
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).
Greater detail will be shown for the 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.

specific depth range, especially when looking for fish or bottom structure.
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, which allows
you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display went all the
way to the bottom.
NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and
Lower Range regardless of the settings entered manually.
Chart Speed
Settings: 1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest;
Default = 5
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.

Beam Select
Settings: 200/83 kHz, 200 kHz, 83 kHz, Default = 200 kHz
Beam Select sets which sonar returns from the transducer 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 narrow beam sonar returns
will stand out from the paler 83 kHz wide 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.
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

Mode is selected, you will see the maximum sonar information available within
the transducer beam, so more fish arches and better jig tracking are shown.
Choose Clear Mode to see less clutter and more fish size accuracy on the
display. When Clear Mode is selected, the clutter is filtered, and sonar returns
are interpreted to provide more details about the objects within the transducer
beam, regardless of their location. In other words, a large arch on the display
means a large fish has been detected.

Fish ID+™
Settings: Off, On; Default = On
Fish ID+™ 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.
DualBeam PLUS™ sonar models represent targets detected in the 200 kHz
narrow beam as Orange Fish Symbols and targets detected in the 83 kHz wide
beam as Blue Fish Symbols.
83 kHz, Wide Beam
Blue Fish Symbols
200 kHz, Narrow Beam
Orange Fish Symbols
When Fish ID+™ 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.

Fish ID Sensitivity
Settings: Low = 1, High = 10; Default = 5
Fish ID Sensitivity adjusts the threshold of the Fish ID+™ 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+™. Fish ID+™ must be
on for Fish ID Sensitivity to affect the ability of the Fishing System to identify
sonar returns as fish.
Real Time Sonar (RTS™) Window

83 kHz Sensitivity changes the sensitivity of the 83 kHz beam. Increasing the
83 kHz Sensitivity will display additional weak returns, and decreasing the
83 kHz Sensitivity will display fewer weak returns.
NOTE: 83 kHz Sensitivity is particularly useful for adjusting the sensitivity of the
83 kHz sonar returns in the 200/83kHz 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.
455 kHz Sensitivity
(Advanced, with optional-purchase QuadraBeam
PLUS™ transducer)
Settings: -10 to +10, Default = 0
455 kHz Sensitivity adjusts the sensitivity of the 455 kHz beam. Increase the
sensitivity to display additional weak returns and decrease the sensitivity to
display fewer weak returns.
NOTE: 455 kHz Sensitivity is particularly useful for adjusting the sensitivity of the
455 kHz sonar returns in the Side Beam View. The 455 kHz sensitivity can be
adjusted without affecting the sensitivity of the 200 kHz returns shown in the 200
kHz sonar window.
The 455 kHz Sensitivity menu option is available when a QuadraBeam PLUS™
transducer is attached to the Fishing System, User Mode is set to Advanced
(see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode), and Transducer Select is set to QuadraBeam

Max Depth controls the maximum depth of operation. When Max Depth is set
to Auto, the Fishing System will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the
capacity of the unit). When Max Depth is set to match your fishing maximum
depth, your Fishing System will not attempt to acquire sonar data below that
depth, so more detail will be shown on the screen.
NOTE: If the bottom is deeper than the Max Depth setting, the digital depth readout
will flash, indicating that the Fishing System cannot locate the bottom.
Water Type

Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. In salt water,
you can also choose the shallow or deep setting. The Water Type menu option is
available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Main Menu: User Mode).
NOTE: Make sure that the Water Type is set accurately, especially in salt water, as
this affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings. In salt water, what would
be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large fish in fresh
water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water setting allows
for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this difference.

NOTE: Only one waypoint can have either a target or a grid applied to it at one time.
If you apply a target or a grid to a new waypoint, the original waypoint will lose its
target or grid.
NOTE: The spacing of the rings on the waypoint target and the spacing of the gridlines
on the trolling grid is the same as the length of the scale bar on the left edge of the

Troubleshooting
Before contacting the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center, please read the
following section. Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines
may allow you to solve a performance problem yourself, and therefore avoid
sending your unit back for repair.
Fishing System Doesn’t Power Up
If your Fishing System doesn’t power up, use the Installation Guide that also
comes with it for specific confirmation details, making sure that:
• The power cable is properly connected to the Fishing System control
head.
• The power cable is wired correctly, with red to positive battery terminal
and black to negative terminal or ground.
• The fuse is operational.
• The battery voltage of the power connector is at least 10 Volts.
Correct any known problems, including removing corrosion from the battery
terminals or wiring, or actually replacing the battery if necessary.
Fishing System 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.
• 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
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:
Problem
Possible Cause
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.
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.
There are no fish
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.

Finding the Cause of Noise
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
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.
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.
The boat’s engine
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.

Glossary
Sonar Terms:
Beam (Sonar Beam) The wide, cone-shaped projection of sound waves formed as sound
travels underwater. See Cone Angle.
Bottom Contour The profile of the bottom graphed to the display as the depth changes.
Bottom Hardness The density (or composition) of the bottom. Varying levels of hardness
can be determined by interpreting the “thickness“ of the main 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.
Cavitation The effect of air bubbles created as the propeller rotates and the boat moves
through the water.
Cone Angle The angular measurement of the sonar beam at a specific dB down point
(i.e. -10 dB). See dB Down Point.
Dead Zone 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.
Decibel The measurement for sound pressure level, or “intensity”of the sonar return. See
dB Down Point.
dB Down Point 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.
Display, FSTN (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.
Frequency 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.

Grayscale The use of varying shades of gray to represent the strength of the sonar signal
on the display. Traditionally, the strongest sonar signals are represented in black, and
progressively weaker signals are represented in progressively lighter shades of gray.
Noise The 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. Many Humminbird® products have a Noise Filter menu setting that allows the user
to clear the screen of noise that is difficult to eliminate (also, see Troubleshooting).
Pixels 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 because
a greater number of vertical pixels provide finer resolution of targets detected by sonar.
Sonar information on the horizontal axis can vary greatly, depending on boat speed and the
Chart Speed setting.
Power Output The amount of sound energy emitted into the water by the transducer’s
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.
Pulse Width (Pulse Length) 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.
Second Return 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 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.

SONAR (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.
Sonar Update Rate The number of times per second that the transducer’s
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.
Speed 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.
Structure 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).
Surface Clutter 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.
Target Separation 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® fishfinders 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.

Thermoclines 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 (TVG) 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.
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. See SONAR.
Zoom A feature that focuses 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.
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 many saltwater anglers.

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.
Altitude The height measurement above sea level. Altitude is a measurement that can be
provided by GPS.
Bearing (BRG) 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 A navigation device that shows Present Position on a Map, along with
Tracks, Waypoints, and Routes. All Chartplotters are also considered Trackplotters.
Cold Start 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.
Course Over Ground (COG) 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) 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.
Differential GPS (DGPS) A system used 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 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.
Distance To Go 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.

Estimated Position Error (EPE) 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.
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.
GPS (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. See How GPS Works.
Heading 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.
Map Datum Refers to a particular survey of the earth’s surface that was referenced when
creating a chart (i.e. WGS84). 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.
MMC (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. MMC is the
same format that many digital cameras use. See SD.
North, Magnetic 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.
North, True 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. See
Magnetic North.

Present Position 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.
Route A 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.
SD (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.
Selective Availability (SA) 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.
Speed Over Ground (SOG) The measurement of the boat’s progress across a given
distance and 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 navigation because accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement.
Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both speed measurements.
Time To Go (TTG) The estimated time required to reach the destination waypoint. TTG is
calculated using the SOG and DTG. See SOG and DTG.
Track 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.

Track Line (TRK) The planned line of travel between two waypoints, and it 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 and Course Over Ground.
Trackplotter A navigation device that shows Present Position, along with Track, Waypoint,
and Routes, but NO MAP in the background. See Chartplotter.
Trolling Grid 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.
UTC (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)).
WAAS (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).
Waypoint 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 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.
