Sonar Troubleshooting

If your unit is not working, or if you need technical help, please use the following troubleshooting section before contacting the factory customer service department. It may save you the trouble of returning your unit for repair. For contact information, refer to the last page, just inside the back cover of this manual.

Unit won't turn on:

1.Check the power cable's connection at the unit. Also check the wiring.

2.Make certain the power cable is wired properly. The red wire connects to the positive battery terminal, black to negative or ground.

3.Check the fuse.

4.Measure the battery voltage at the unit's power connector. It should be at least 11 volts. If it isn't, the wiring to the unit is defective, the battery terminals or wiring on the terminals are corroded, or the battery needs charging.

Unit operates only in demo mode:

The transducer or antenna module have not yet been connected or have been disconnected. To leave demo mode, make sure that either the transducer or the antenna is securely connected before turning the unit on.

Unit freezes, locks up, or operates erratically:

1.Electrical noise from the boat's motor, trolling motor, or an accessory may be interfering with the sonar unit. Rerouting the power and transducer cables away from other electrical wiring on the boat may help. Route the sonar unit's power cable directly to the battery instead of through a fuse block or ignition switch.

2.Inspect the transducer cable for breaks, cuts, or pinched wires.

3.Check both the transducer and power connectors. Make certain both are securely plugged in to the unit.

Weak bottom echo, digital readings erratic, or no fish signals:

1.Make certain the transducer is pointing straight down. Clean the face of the transducer. Oil, dirt and fuel can cause a film to form on the transducer, reducing its effectiveness. If the transducer is mounted inside the hull, be sure it is shooting through only one layer of

fiberglass and that it is securely bonded to the hull. Do NOT use RTV silicone rubber adhesive or Marine-Tex epoxy.

2.Electrical noise from the boat's motor can interfere with the sonar. This causes the sonar to automatically increase its Discrimination or
