Troubleshooting

Before contacting the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center, please read the following section. Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines may allow you to solve a performance problem yourself, and therefore avoid sending your unit back for repair.

Matrix™ Doesn’t Power Up

If your Matrix™ Fishing System doesn’t power up, use the Installation Guide that also comes with it for specific confirmation details, making sure that:

Accessories Menu

(no accessories attached)

NOTE:

Accessories Menu

• the power cable is properly connected to the Matrix™ control head,
•	the power cable is wired correctly, with red to positive battery terminal and black to
	negative terminal or ground
•	the fuse is operational

(with accessories attached)

Accessories to enable WeatherSense®, GPS Functionality and the SmartCast® Wireless Sonar Link require separate purchases. You can visit our website at www.humminbird.com or contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468for additional details.

• the battery voltage of the power connector is at least 10 Volts.

Correct any known problems, including removing corrosion from the battery terminals or wiring, or actually replacing the battery if necessary.

Matrix™ Defaults to Simulator with a Transducer Attached

A connected and functioning transducer will cause the newly-started Matrix™ Fishing System to go into Normal operating mode automatically. If, when you power up your unit, it goes into Simulator mode automatically, even though a transducer is already connected, this means that the control head is not detecting the transducer. Perform the following troubleshooting tasks:

•Using the Installation Guide that also comes with your Matrix™ Fishing System, check to make sure that the transducer cable is securely connected to your unit. Reconnect if necessary, and power up the unit again to see if this fixes the problem.

•Replace the non-functioning transducer with a known good transducer if available and power up the control head again.

•Check the transducer cable. Replace the transducer if the cable is damaged or corroded.
