Using the Unit for Diving
The unit is waterproof to 200 ft (61 m), allowing you to use it as a range finder or target finder for snorkeling or diving. You can point it at the surface, boat, wreck, reef, etc and instantly know how far away the object is.
ATTENTION:
To ensure the unit remains water tight, coat the Battery Cover O- Ring with petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or silicon grease (available at any dive shop) each time you replace the batteries.
Diving Do’s, Dont’s, and Tips:
•Keep in mind that the sonar signals must be directed at a solid surface that is within 200ft (61 m) to function properly. You must be certain to aim the unit at an object, or the bottom within this range.
•ALWAYS be certain to attach the Wrist/Safety Strap to your person, as the Unit will float to the surface if released.
•Once depths of 30 ft (9 m) are exceeded during diving, the unit will auto- matically enter into Depth and Fish Finding Mode (temperature readings are not able to be taken below 30 ft (9 m)). There is no need to press the activation button to obtain readings, just point the unit at the desired object and look at the display for readings. The unit will remain in depth/fish find- ing mode until it is brought back to a depth of 30 ft (9 m) or less.
Care of Your Handheld Sonar System PX
1.Clean the unit with fresh water and dry off before storing.
2.Remove the batteries from the unit to prevent battery leakage and corrosion.
3.Store the depth sounder in a cool, dry place. Never leave it in temperatures over 158º F (70 ºC) as the extreme temperatures can damage the electronic components.
WARNING:
The Handheld Sonar System PX incorporates a SureGrip texturized housing. Cleaning solvents and chemicals will remove the texture which gives the housing its grip. Never use anything other than mild soap and water to clean the housing.
