Humminbird 957C, 917C manual Water Type, Transducer Select, Color Bar

Water Type

(Advanced)

Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. The Water Type menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode).

NOTE: In salt water, what would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large fish in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water setting allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this. Also, make sure that the Water Type is set accurately, especially in salt water, as this affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings.

To change the Water Type setting:

1.Make sure you are in Advanced User Mode, then highlight Water Type on the Sonar main menu.

2.Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Water Type setting. (Fresh, Salt, Default = Fresh)

Transducer Select

Transducer Select allows you to select which transducer you want to use.

NOTE: The transducer setting must correspond to the transducer type connected to your system.

NOTE: The QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer is standard on the 957c Combo, but is optional-purchase only for the 917c Combo.

To change the selected Transducer:

1.Highlight Transducer Select on the Sonar Main menu.

2.Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the transducer selected. (917c Combo: Quad Beam, Dual Beam, Universal Sonar 2, Default = Dual Beam; 957c Combo: Quad Beam, Dual Beam, Dual 50/200, Universal Sonar 2, Default = Quad Beam)
