ID+ On adds an additional piece of information to the location of the fish. The depth beneath the surface for selected fish symbols is attached to the fish symbol. In the 2D view, ID++ adds the distance measurement from the boat to selected fish symbols. This measurement requires the speed input to be connected in order to determine the distance the boat has travelled.

The unit remembers Fish ID setting when powered off.

Numeral Size

Numeral Size is the next Option menu. Two options are available: "Big" and "Small". The factory setting is Big. With this setting, the digital depth and speed and temp numerals are drawn large enough to be readable from across the boat. The big numerals occupy space on the display which could be used for the graphics area. Hence, the small numerals option. With small numerals selected, a greater amount of the display area is available for the

graphic view.

Use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to highlight the desired selection, then press MENU to advance to the next menu.

Numeral Size settings are remembered when the unit is powered off.

Transducer

The Transducer option allows manual selection or identification of a non-standard transducer. The Wide 3D Paramount is designed to work with the Six-Beam transducer supplied with the unit. It can also work simultaneously with a single beam deep transducer. However, there are instances in which an alternative transducer may be used (i.e. a Wide Side or a trolling motor mount transducer). Often two transducers are used in conjunction with a transducer switch to provide increased utility.

The 3D setting is the factory setting and corresponds to the standard transducer. The "Extended" setting allows simultaneous use of the standard transducer and a secondary single beam transducer. This application is useful for users that frequently fish in waters deeper than 240'. The final setting is "Side", toggle to this option if you are using a wide side transducer. See the "Using Alternative Transducers" section for more details on secondary and alternative transducers.

The Wide 3D Paramount does not have the ability to positively identify a transducer other than the Standard Six-beam. In the event that a non-standard transducer is connected, the user must

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.
