10. Push the transport assembly
back to its operating position.
Be sure it engages the catch
inside the case.
11. Close the front of the case.
Latch both catches on the
top.
12. Turn the unit on. Move the
Chart Speed knob fully clock-
wise. Watch the paper long
enough to be sure it is moving
smoothly and evenly across
the platen. If the paper
flutters
or begins to run "uphill",
repeat step

STYLUS REPLACEMENT
CAUTION
— High voltage is
• present in the electronic section
when the unit is turned on.
1. TURN THE UNIT OFF.
2. Release both catches on the
top of the case. Pull out and
• down on the top of the case
front to expose the stylus
belt.
(See Figure 24).
3. The
stylus
belt rides over two
pulleys located at the right edge
of the transport assembly. Move
the front of the belt DOWN to
position the stylus
at the center
of the platen.
4. Hold the stylus belt stationary
with one finger, and remove the
old stylus by starting at its left
edge and moving it out from
under the tabs on the stylus
holder.

be sure it is bent properly by
comparing it to Figure 34.
6. Refer to Figure 35 to be sure
the new stylus
is positioned
correctly under the tabs on the
holder. Be sure it moves freely
in the two slots. If not, bend the
stylus away from the edge it is
rubbing on until it does move freeIt

I 7. After installing, if the stylus
won't print all the way down the
paper as shown in Figure 36,
bend the right leg down so that
more pressure is exerted
against the stainless steel plate.
If it still does not print all the
way, bend the left leg down
more, but not so far that it digs
into the paper.
Sharp, well defined signatures
will occur most often when the
Sensitivity knob is set at the ¾
point, or higher. Remember,
that
there must be some movement
between the boat and the fish to
develop the arched mark, Usually
this means trolling at very
slow
speeds with the main engine in
gear at minimum throttle setting.
THERMOCLINES
The temperature
of water in the
lake is seldom constant from
top
to bottom. Layers of different tem-
peratures form, and the
junction
of
a warm and cool layer of water is
called a thermocline. (See Figure
23) The depth and thickness of
the thermocline can vary
with the
season or time of day. In deep
lakes there
may
be two or more,
at different depths. Thermoclines
are important to the fisherman
because they are areas where fish
are active. Many times bait fish
will te above the thermocline
while larger game fish suspend
just below it.
Your Lowrance X-16 can detect
this invisible layer in the water, but
the Sensitivity knob will probably
have to be set at the 1/2 point, or
higher.
PAPER LOADING
NOTE: There are many imitators
manufacturing chart paper that is
inferior to ours. Use only
Lowrance LPG-605 or LPG-606
chart paper
in your
X-16.
NOTE —
A stylus is enclosed with
every package of LPG—606 chart
paper. For best results, install the
new stylusevery other time a roll of
chart paper is changed.
CAUTION — High voltage is
present in the electronic section
when the unit is
turned on.
1. TURN THE UNIT OFF.
2. Release both catches on the
top of the case. Pull out and
down on the top of the case
front
to expose the platen
assembly. (See Figure 24).
3. Move the stylus bolt DOWN, to
position the marking stylus on
the back side of the platen.
NEVER move the belt up — it
could damage the stylus. (See
Figure 25).
