TESTING THE INSTALLATION

After installing your Pro Flasher and transducer, you are ready to test the installation. Testing should be performed on the water, since that is the best way to confirm your transducer's performance.

With your boat in the water, turn the Sensitivity / OnOff control clockwise. You should hear the disk start to spin and see an area of light at the "0" line on the dial, and another at the number corresponding to the depth of the water. Turning the Sensitivity control further clockwise increases the sensitivity of the unit so smaller returns will be displayed.

Increase your boat speed to ensure that the transducer remains in contact with turbulence-free water at higher boat speeds. All Humminbird depthsounders are designed to work at speeds of 70 MPH or more, however use caution when operating any boat at high speed. High-speed testing does not apply to portable or trolling motor mounted transducers.

If the Pro Flasher fails to display a bottom return at high speed, first ensure that the depth of the water is not in excess of the unit's capability. Also, ensure that the unit is fully seated on the mount, and the cable connectors are correct. (The label on the cable connector matches the label on the connector holder).

If no light appears when the Power/ Sensitivity control is turned on, the power cable or fuse terminal may be the problem. If the unit obviously powers up but no bottom information is seen on the display, the transducer is most likely the problem.

If the Pro Flasher operates well at idle or slow speeds, but loses the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer is losing intimate contact with the water at higher speeds. If your transducer is transom mounted, adjusting the running angle or depth of the transducer may solve the problem. Several test runs and transducer adjustments may be necessary to optimize transducer performance.

Warning: Due to the "manual" control operation of the Pro Flasher, interference with sonar products using 200 KHz Frequency is likely.

ProFlasher specifications

The Humminbird ProFlasher is a cutting-edge ice fishing tool that offers anglers an enhanced fishing experience through its innovative design and features. This flasher is a key tool for serious ice fishermen, providing real-time information about underwater conditions and fish activity.

One of the main features of the ProFlasher is its high-resolution display, which utilizes patented technology for accurate representation of the underwater environment. This display provides detailed information about the depth of the water, the location of fish, and the structure of the bottom, enabling users to make informed decisions. The bright LED lights make it easy to see in various lighting conditions, an essential feature for early morning or late afternoon fishing sessions.

Another remarkable technology integrated into the Humminbird ProFlasher is its exclusive, advanced sonar capabilities. The device uses DualBeam PLUS sonar technology that allows anglers to select between two beams - a wide beam for covering more area and a narrow beam for more precise targeting. This flexibility is particularly valuable in varying fishing conditions and types of fish being pursued.

In addition to its sonar capabilities, the ProFlasher is built with a durable construction to withstand the harsh environments encountered during ice fishing. The rugged design ensures that it can endure cold temperatures, impacts, and water exposure without losing functionality.

The battery life of the Humminbird ProFlasher is another characteristic that sets it apart from competitors. It comes equipped with a long-lasting battery that can operate for hours on a single charge, allowing anglers to fish all day without worrying about running out of power.

The ProFlasher also features a user-friendly interface, simplifying navigation through its settings. Intuitive controls allow anglers to easily adjust sensitivity, depth range, and display options, making it accessible for both novice and experienced users.

Additionally, the portability of the ProFlasher is noteworthy. It is lightweight and compact, complete with a carrying case, making it easy to transport to and from fishing locations.

Overall, the Humminbird ProFlasher combines advanced technologies with practical design elements, making it an indispensable tool for any ice fishing enthusiast seeking to enhance their fishing experience. Whether targeting specific fish species or scouting for new fishing spots, the ProFlasher delivers the performance and reliability that serious anglers demand.
