[. . . ] INSTALLATION PREPARATION PARTS SUPPLIED PARTS SUPPLIED Before installing your new Humminbird fishfinder, please ensure the following parts are included in the box: · · · · · Fishfinder Transducer with 20' (6m) of cable and mounting hardware kit Mounting system and mounting hardware kit 6' (2m) power cable Publications kit It any of these items is missing, call our Customer Support Hotline. ACCESSORIES Humminbird offers a wide assortment of accessories that complement and expand the capability of your new fishfinder. These accessories are designed with the same high standards and are backed by the same one-year warranty. The Humminbird Accessory catalog included with your unit contains descriptions of the many accessories available and ordering information. [. . . ] In some situations, the selected point of view may prevent the display of some information due to the slope of the terrain. If you are traveling in a direction which will present this situation for an extended period of time, an option is available to reverse the view-point to the opposite side of your boat, which enables you to see information that would otherwise be masked by the terrain. The normal or default point of view is called "right perspective" since the view point is to the right of the boat. Reversing this view point is called "right perspective" since the view point is to the right of the boat. Reversing this view point is called "left perspective" (Figure B). This option is available in the System Options screen which will be discussed in more detail later in this manual. The 2D view shown in Figure C, will be familiar to previous sonar users. All the information collected by the six individual beams is compressed into a 2-dimensional presentation. The most current information is displayed on the right side of the screen and moves to the left as new information is received. The Combo view combines a 3D and 2D representation of the same information. This view is shown in Figure D and is especially useful in learning to use the 3D presentation. A valuable accessory available for use with all Wide 3D products is Wide Side. Your unit has the capability of displaying information from a special "side-locking" transducer as shown in Figure E. See the "Advanced Feature" section for more information. Using the View button to toggle between the three main views gives you the maximum benefit of each type of view: The 3D view gives you an excellent representation of bottom terrain and target location, The 2D view is best for determining bottom hardness and texture and locating structure or bottom detail. The combo view combines both 3D and 2D views to provide the best of both views. USING THE 3D VIEW At power-up, the Wide 3D Vista locates the bottom and adjusts the depth range to a setting most appropriate for that depth. The bottom will usually be displayed about 2/3 of the way down the display. Each of the six sonar beams transmits a signal at a rate of about four times per second. The returned signals from each transmit are compared and evaluated before the information is displayed, so each display update contains information gathered from several transit and receive cycles. The digital depth shown on-screen is the depth of the water directly beneath your boat. As new information is received, the most recent information is displayed at the lower right, directly underneath the boat symbol. Previous information advances to the left. Boat speed and water surface temperature are displayed at the upper right. If you have not connected this accessory, the screen layout will be slightly different. The distance back number represents the linear distance of the sonar information being displayed. The faster your boat is moving, the greater the amount of distance will be seen on the screen. [. . . ] These side-looking elements can be used independently, or together to locate targets near the surface of the water on either side of your boat. The Wide Side transducer is available as a trolling motor mount, a transom mount, or a portable mount. Wide Side can be connected directly to your Wide 3D Vista unit in p/ace of the standard transducers, or used in conjunction with a transducer switch so that all of the transducers can be connected to the Wide 3D Vista. See "Installing the Wide 3D Vista" for additional information. When the Wide Side transducer is connected directly to your unit, or selected using a transducer switch, the unit setup must be changed to correspond with the type of transducer being used. This adjustment is made through the "System Options" menu. [. . . ]
