NorCross HawkEye Handheld Sonar System PX, DF2200PX manual Shooting-Thru a Boat Hull, To SideScan

“Shooting-Thru” a Boat Hull

The advanced sonar capabilities of this unit allows it to “Shoot-Thru” the bottom of a boat or canoe. The hull must be made out of solid fiberglass, or a maximum of 1/8” (3.1 mm) aluminum, and be in direct contact with the water with no air pockets. The unit will not work through wood, plastic, or any composite material.

To “Shoot-Thru” the Hull of a Boat, Do One of the Following:

1.place the transducer in .5 inches (13 mm) of water against the hull bottom.

2.coat the face of the transducer with petroleum jelly and press it against the hull bottom with a twisting motion.

3.place the transducer in a plastic bag that is full of water and place against the hull bottom.

IMPORTANT:

If you cannot obtain reading while “Shooting-Thru” the hull, place the unit directly in the water. If readings are obtained with the unit directly in the water, you probably cannot “Shoot- Thru” your type of hull. Please visit our

website for advanced troubleshooting information.

Scanning for Depth Changes or Fish (SideScan)

The unit has the ability to be used as a sideways scanning sonar depth sounder/fish finder to search for drop-off’s and hiding fish under docks, weeds, or vegetation.

To SideScan:

1.Activate the unit and place it perpendicular to the water to obtain a correct depth reading.

2.Once a correct reading is obtained, move the unit around in a scanning motion (similar to using a flashlight). Keep in mind that the sonar signals must be directed at a solid surface that is within 200 ft (61 m) to function properly. You must be certain to aim the unit at an object, or the bottom within this range.
