GENERAL INFORMATION
TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE
As the HDR 600 transducer receives sonar signals, it converts them to a digital depth that is displayed on your HDR 600. The depth reading is continuously updated as you travel across the water.
Easy-to-use controls on the HDR 600 allow you to set the SHALLOW ALARM or DEEP ALARM for an audible alert when the boat is in extreme shallow or deep water.
The liquid crystal display (LCD) offers sharp viewing, even in bright direct sunlight, and is continuously lit for nighttime operation.
NOTE: Actual depth capability depends on such factors as bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation, Units will typically read to deeper depths in fresh water than in salt water.
TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE
Your HDR 600 comes with everything necessary for installation and operation on most boats. The transducer included, XHS-6-16, is designed to be mounted on the transom of the boat (directly exposed to the water). On fiberglass hull boats, this same transducer can be bonded to the inside of the hull. When mounted inside the hull, the sonar signal actually passes through the hull of the boat. One of these two mounting techniques will produce acceptable results on most boats. There are however several situations which may demand a different type of transducer. Inboard boats, wood or metal hulls, and sailboats create unique transducer mounting needs.
The standard transducer can also be adapted to mount on most trolling motors using the AD- STM7. This accessory includes a bracket and hose clamp which allows mounting the transducer to the body of most trolling motors.
Thru-hull mount transducers are also available as direct replacements for the standard transducer. You may exchange your new and unused transducer for another type by returning it to the address of the inside of the rear cover of this manual. Some transducers may have additional costs. Refer to the Accessory catalog or call Customer Support for information on accessory transducers.
