Section 1: Introduction

Thank you for buying an Eaglesonar! Your unit is a high-quality so- nar designed for both professional and novice fishermen. All Eagle so- nars have an automatic mode that finds and displays the bottom, fish, underwater structure and more – right out of the box. All you have to do is press the on (PWR) key.

To get started with your Eagle sonar, first read the installation section. It contains instructions for mounting the sonar unit, the transducer and any optional accessories, such as a speed sensor.

Following recommended installation practices will pay off in optimum performance of your Eagle sonar. Improper installation can cause problems down the road, especially if the transducer is badly mounted.

After you've read the installation instructions, install the unit and ac- cessories. Then, read the rest of the manual. The more you know about your sonar, the better it will work for you.
