1b. If you need to wire the control head directly to a battery, obtain and install an inline fuse holder and a 2.5 to 3 Amp fuse (not included) for the protection of the unit. Humminbird® is not responsible for over-voltage or over-current failures.

NOTE: In order to minimize the potential for interference with other marine electronics, a separate power source (such as a second battery) may be necessary.

You are now ready to install the transducer. Find the section that refers to your specific transducer installation method.
