To use a portable power pack, you install the batteries and then attach the sonar unit to the power pack's bracket. Plug in the pow- er/transducer cable and you're ready to fish.

The PPP-12 has a quick-release mounting bracket built into the case.

Installing the Batteries

Open the case and lay it flat. (The latch is located below the handle.) Insert eight "AA" size batteries into the battery adapter and place it in the battery compartment. Slip the battery cover tabs into the slots in the case wall, then close the battery cover with the thumb screw.

Plug the cable's power (dog bone-shaped) connector into the socket on the battery compartment cover. Route the cable's unit connector and about 6 inches (15.2 cm) of cable through the opening under the sonar mount. Close the case bottom, using the slot in the case wall to avoid pinching the cable. Turn the unit over to mount the sonar.
