Installation Confirmation

Refer to the Matrix Installation Guide for specific installation and cabling instructions for your Matrix unit and for the transducer. Refer to the GPS Installation Guide also included with your Matrix unit for specific installation and cabling instructions for your GPS Receiver. Once you have installed the Matrix, the transducer and the GPS Receiver, you should confirm that the GPS is installed correctly. Press POWER to turn on your Matrix unit. Immediately press the MENU button to display a screen list of Start-Up options. Use the 4-Way Cursor key to select System Status from the Start-Up menu.

Press the VIEW key until the System Status/Accessory Test View is displayed. This view displays the connection status for each accessory. If your GPS Receiver is connected properly and it is communicating with your Matrix unit, it will be shown as CONNECTED.

After the GPS Receiver is shown as CONNECTED, press the VIEW key again until the GPS Diagnostic View is displayed. The GPS Diagnostic View will display acquired satellites and their status, including signal strength. Your GPS Receiver will not provide valid signals until it acquires at least two satellites. Acquisition can take several minutes if this is the first use of your Receiver. This time lag also happens if you have moved a significant distance since the GPS Receiver was last used.

In Start-Up mode, the GPS Diagnostic View can be viewed as one of the available views if a GPS receiver is detected. It will not be available if the GPS receiver is not detected. In Normal mode, the GPS Diagnostic View is normally hidden, but can be viewed as an Advanced feature. To make this view visible, go to the Setup Tab, set the User Mode to Advanced, choose Select Views, and change the GPS Diagnostic View selection to Visible. After this, the GPS Diagnostic View will become part of the view rotation accessed through the VIEW key.

When System Status is selected on the Start-Up menu, the Matrix displays a series of views to provide information about the unit. The following views are displayed in turn when you press the VIEW button:

•Self Test

•GPS Diagnostic View

•Sonar Test (RTS Sonar Diagnostic).

Self Test displays results from internal diagnostic self test, including unit serial number, software revision, total hours of operation and the input voltage from the power source.

Accessory Test lists the accessories connected to the system. Note that the speed accessory is only detected when the paddleswheel is moving.

GPS Diagnostic appears if the GPS Receiver is connected, and displays status information from the GPS Receiver. See Navigation Views for more information.

Sonar Test (RTS Sonar Diagnostic) displays unprocessed sonar returns on the display to confirm that sonar is working.

Exit System Status mode by powering the unit off.

PC Connect - Start-Up Menu

When you select PC Connect from the Start-Up Menu, the Matrix unit enters a communication mode and waits for a connection with a PC. Complete instructions are included with the PC Connect accessory (AS-PC). Exit PC Connect mode by powering the unit off.

Humminbird is renowned for its innovative fish finders, and the Humminbird 55 and 65 models stand out as excellent choices for both novice and experienced anglers. Designed with user-friendly features and advanced technologies, these models are engineered to enhance fishing experiences on the water.

The Humminbird 55 boasts a 5-inch grayscale display, providing clear visibility in various lighting conditions.

This technology allows users to see not only fish but also underwater structures, making it easier to identify potential hotspots.

Another standout feature of the 55 is its Fish ID technology, which simplifies the interpretation of sonar returns by automatically identifying fish sizes and depths. This user-friendly addition is especially helpful for those new to fish finding, as it removes some of the complexities associated with traditional sonar readings.

In contrast, the Humminbird 65 offers a larger 6.5-inch display, providing even greater clarity and detail. This model also includes DualBeam PLUS sonar technology but enhances it with the addition of a built-in GPS. This GPS enables anglers to mark waypoints, navigate back to favorite fishing spots, and track their routes, adding a layer of convenience during excursions on the water.

Both models come equipped with advanced fish tracking capabilities, offering features like scrollable history and a customizable sensitivity setting, allowing users to tailor their experience to their unique fishing style. The automatic sonar sensitivity adjustment ensures that anglers receive optimal performance in varying water conditions, whether in freshwater lakes or coastal waters.

Durability is another hallmark of the Humminbird 55 and 65 series. Both units are built to withstand the rigors of marine environments, featuring weather-resistant housings that protect them from splashes and moisture. Easy-to-use controls and a straightforward interface make navigating through menus and settings hassle-free.

Overall, the Humminbird 55 and 65 models represent a blend of innovative technology, practical features, and robust design. These fish finders enhance anglers' ability to locate and catch fish, making them worthwhile investments for anyone passionate about fishing. With their user-friendly designs and advanced sonar capabilities, the Humminbird 55 and 65 models elevate the fishing experience, catering to a robust range of angler needs.
