MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY

TROUBLESHOOTING

Second, inspect the transducer cable from end to end for breaks, kinks, or cuts in the outer casing of the cable. Also ensure the transducer is fully submerged in water. If the transducer is connected to the unit through a switch, temporarily connect it directly to the unit and try again. If none of these items identifies an obvious problem, the transducer itself is probably the problem. Be sure to include the transducer if returning the unit for repair.

3. There is no bottom reading visible on the display.

There are a number of possible causes for this condition. If the loss of bottom information occurs only at high boat speeds, the transducer needs adjusting. If the digital depth readout is working but there is no bottom visible on-screen, it is possible the depth range has been adjusted manually to a range lower than what is needed to display the bottom. Also, in very deep water, it may be necessary to manually increase the sensitivity setting to maintain a graphic depiction of the bottom.

If you are using a transducer switch to connect two transducers to the unit, ensure the switch is in the correct position to connect a transducer that is in water. (If a trolling motor transducer is selected and the trolling motor is out of water, no sonar information appears.)

It none of the above solve the problem, inspect the transducer cable from end to end for breaks, kinks, or cuts in the outer casing of the cable. If the transducer is connected to the unit through a switch, temporarily connect it directly to the unit and try again. If none of these items identifies an obvious problem, the transducer itself may be the problem. Be sure to include the transducer if returning the unit for repair.

4.When in very shallow water, I get gaps in the bottom reading and inconsistent digital depth indication.

Your Humminbird fishfinder will work reliably in water 2’ (.6m) or deeper. The depth is measured from the transducer, not necessarily from the surface.

120 specifications

The Humminbird 120 is a pioneering fish finder that has gained recognition among anglers for its exceptional performance and user-friendly features. Designed with cutting-edge technology, this device offers a comprehensive suite of features that enhance fishing experiences on the water.

At the heart of the Humminbird 120 is its advanced sonar technology, which allows users to see fish and underwater structures with remarkable clarity. Equipped with dual-beam sonar, the device provides two different cone angles. The narrow beam offers high precision for locating specific targets, while the wide beam covers a larger area, making it easier to locate schools of fish.

One of the standout features of the Humminbird 120 is its easy-to-read display. The unit features a large, high-contrast screen with multiple color options, allowing users to customize their viewing experience. This clarity is essential, especially in bright sunlight or varying light conditions, ensuring that important information is visible at a glance.

In addition to fish identification, the Humminbird 120 packs a range of features designed to help anglers navigate their environment effectively. It includes advanced mapping capabilities, enabling users to create depth contours and view detailed underwater topography. This is particularly beneficial for identifying potential fishing hotspots and understanding the structure of the lake or riverbed.

The device also supports features such as temperature readings, which can be essential for understanding fish behavior and optimizing fishing strategies. The integrated GPS functionality further enhances usability by allowing users to mark waypoints, navigate through previously mapped areas, and avoid potential hazards while on the water.

Another practical aspect of the Humminbird 120 is its ease of installation and setup. Whether you have a small boat or a larger vessel, the device can be easily mounted and configured. The intuitive interface ensures quick access to functions, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced anglers alike.

Durability is also key in the design of the Humminbird 120. Built to withstand the rigors of regular use, the device is water-resistant and designed for various environmental conditions.

In summary, the Humminbird 120 combines advanced sonar technology, a clear display, effective mapping tools, and robust durability, making it a valuable asset for any angler looking to enhance their fishing experience. Whether you are searching for fish or exploring underwater terrain, the Humminbird 120 delivers reliability and performance on the water.
