Humminbird ICE 45, ICE 55 Powering UP the Control Head, Simulator, WHAT’S on the Flasher Dial

POWERING UP THE CONTROL HEAD

Power-on your ICE 35/45/55 Flasher by turning the Range/Off dial to any range setting. The ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder will immediately enter Normal operation, and the sonar return signals from the bottom will be displayed on the Flasher Dial.

SIMULATOR

Use the Simulator to learn how to use your ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder before taking it out on the ice. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on-the-water operation, providing a randomly-updated display. We recommend going through this manual while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function the way they actually do when in Normal operation.

To begin Simulator mode, hold down the Selection dial while powering on the control head.

Exit the Simulator by powering your ICE 35/45/55 off.

WHAT’S ON THE FLASHER DIAL

The ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder uses a backlit circular display, together with a multi-button keypad, to control all user functions. In addition, multiple color palettes are available, depending on your model.

Sonar return signals are displayed as colored lines on the Flasher Dial. The color and thickness of the lines reflect the strength of the sonar return or the size and density of the object. In addition, multiple color palettes are available, depending on your model. All Humminbird® ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinders provide a multicolor palette, where red = strong, yellow = medium, and green = weak sonar return signals. If you have a high-end ICE 55 Flasher, you will also have the choice of 2 additional color palettes. The color palette you have selected will determine the appearance and significance of the individual color lines that appear on the Flasher Dial.

NOTE: The location of an object in relation to the transducer can influence how it appears on the Flasher Dial. For example, a large object might display as a weak sonar return signal if it is located on the outer edges of the transducer beam, where as a small object located at the top of the transducer beam might display as a strong sonar return signal.
