PIRANHA 3, 4 & 5 OPERATION GUIDE

Thank You

Thank you for purchasing a Piranha fishfinder from Humminbird, America’s #1 Manufacturer of quality con- sumer marine electronics

WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.

Installation Overview

Use the included installation guide to properly install your new Piranha. Installation must be done correctly to ensure best per- formance.

Using the Piranha

The Piranha is the easiest to use fishfinder ever. For most anglers, all you’ll ever need to do is Power On & Fish! The Piranha automatically determines depth and makes adjustments to keep the bottom and fish visible on the display.

The Piranha uses sonar technology to send sound waves from the transducer into the water. The returned “echoes” are plotted on the Piranha’s LCD display and create a very accurate picture of the underwater world with distance to underwater objects such as the bottom, fish and structure.

Powering ON and OFF

Press and release POWER-MENU to power the Piranha on. Press and hold POWER-MENU until the unit shuts down to power off.

When Piranha powers on, the Start Up menu temporarily appears. From this menu, select either Start-Up for on-the-water use, or Simulator for learning to use

the system with simulated sonar data.

The Start-Up menu disappears after several seconds and the Piranha

begins operation.

What You See On Screen

The Piranha displays underwater information in an easy-to- understand format. The top of the display corresponds to the water surface, and the bottom of the display corresponds to the Depth Range automatically selected for the current water depth. The Bottom Contour varies between the two as the depth under the boat changes. Digital readouts provide precise information for depth, fish and water temperature (separate purchase may be required).
