two left beams and fish pointing right are in one of the two right beams. Solid fish symbols represent returns in one of the two center beams. Solid fish pointing right are detected in the right center beam and solid fish pointing left are detected in the left center beam. Using the combo view or toggling back and fourth between the 3D and 2D view will help you more precisely locate these fish. When the speed sensor is connected, ID++ adds additional information to help the user locate fish. On selected fish symbols, the digital depth of the designated fish is drawn to help locate the fish vertically. Some of these ID lines will be accompanied by a digital number at the 0 line. This number is the approximate distance of the fish from the boat. If the boat is moving, the number will increase over time to indicate the increasing distance from the boat. If the boat speed is increased or decreased, the distance number will be updated accordingly. This is especially helpful in setting bait depths or for downrigger operation.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The Wide 3D Paramount uses a simple 6-button keypad for all user input. When any button is pressed, an audible "chirp" confirms the control input. In the event that a particular button has no function or is inappropriate for the situation, an audible "error", or multiple chirps, will be heard.

POWER, powers the Wide 3D Paramount up for normal operation. When the unit is on, POWER turns the unit off. POWER can also be used to go directly into Simulator mode. With the unit powered off, press and hold POWER for several seconds until a continuous chirp is heard.

LIGHT controls the unit's 4-position display backlight as well as the keypad backlight. With the unit powered on, pressing LIGHT once will turn the backlight on "low". Pressing LIGHT a second time will increase the brightness of the backlight. The backlight is very effective for low-light and nighttime operation. When the backlight is on, the Wide 3D Paramount will consume more power than with the backlight off. This is important when using the Wide 3D Paramount in a portable configuration powered by a separate battery, or when powering the unit from a

trolling motor battery.

At power-up, the display and keypad backlight will be on so the user can locate the controls in darkness. After a period of about 5 seconds, the light will power-off unless the LIGHT button is pressed.

NOTE: When powering the unit from a battery such as in portable applications, avoiding use of the backlight prolongs battery life.

The VIEW button selects one of several screen configurations or "views" possible depending on the transducer in use. When using the standard (Six-beam) transducer, the VIEW button toggles the display between the full-screen 3D View, 2D View, "Combo" View, and "Monster Digits" View.

3D specifications

Humminbird 3D is a groundbreaking sonar technology that has revolutionized the way anglers and marine enthusiasts navigate and fish under the surface of water. Utilizing advanced imaging techniques, this system provides an unparalleled view of underwater structures, fish, and other elements, making it a vital tool for any serious angler.

At its core, Humminbird 3D employs a proprietary sonar technology that combines traditional 2D sonar with sophisticated 3D mapping capabilities. This dual functionality allows users to visualize underwater environments in a way that was previously unimaginable. The 3D views offer depth perception, enabling anglers to identify ledges, drop-offs, and other crucial fishing spots with precision. Instead of just a flat representation, users can see the terrain's contours, making it easier to understand the underwater landscape.

One of the standout features of Humminbird 3D is its ability to create real-time three-dimensional maps. This allows users to dynamically adjust their strategies while fishing, as they can continually monitor how fish are interacting with their surroundings. Furthermore, the system boasts enhanced target separation capabilities, making it easier to distinguish between individual fish and structures.

Another key technology utilized in Humminbird 3D is its integration with the CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) sonar technology. This allows for clearer images and improved target resolution, providing comprehensive details about various underwater elements. The result is greater accuracy in identifying fish species and understanding their behavior in relation to underwater structures.

Humminbird 3D also features an easy-to-use interface, designed to be intuitive for users of all experience levels. The system can be seamlessly integrated into existing Humminbird products, enhancing the functionality of existing setups without requiring a complete overhaul. Additionally, it supports connectivity with other devices, allowing for the sharing of data and enhancing the overall fishing experience.

Durability and reliability are also characteristics inherent to the Humminbird 3D system. Designed for the harsh environments of marine use, it can withstand the rigors of fishing and boating, ensuring that users have a dependable tool at their disposal.

In summary, Humminbird 3D is a game-changer in the realm of sonar technology, providing anglers with unprecedented insights into underwater environments. Its combination of 3D mapping, CHIRP sonar, real-time monitoring, and user-friendly interface makes it a valuable asset for anyone looking to enhance their fishing experience and gain an edge on the water.
