User manual HUMMINBIRD WIDE VIEW

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] Momentarily, information will begin to "march" across the screen from right to left. Remember that as each column advances on the screen, it contains information gathered from several transmit and receive cycles. The column of information on the far right side of the screen is the most current information, or the view directly under your boat. If your boat is moving, an accurate depiction of the terrain you have just covered is created on-screen. Increase your boat speed to ensure that the transducer remains in contact with turbulence-free water at higher boat speeds. All Humminbird depthsounders are designed to work at speeds of 70 MPH or more, however, use caution when operating any boat at high speed. (High-speed testing does not apply to portable or trolling motor mounted transducers) If the Wide View fails to locate the bottom and advance information across the screen as shown, ensure first that the depth of the water is not in excess of the unit's capability. Also, ensure that the unit is fully seated on the mount, and the cable connections are correct. (The label on the cable connector matches the label on the connector holder). If no audible "chirp" is heard when pressing the POWER button, the power cable or the fuse terminal may be the problem. If the unit obviously powers up, but no bottom information is seen on the display, the transducer is most likely the problem. If the Wide View unit operates well at idle or slow speeds, but loses the bottom or displays erroneous readings at higher speeds, the transducer is losing intimate contact with the water at high speed. If your transducer is transom mounted, adjusting the running angle and depth of the transducer may solve the problem. Several test runs and transducer adjustments may be necessary to optimize transducer performance. USING THE WIDE VIEW The Wide View is simple to use. Simply press the POWER button, and the unit will automatically locate the bottom, adjust the depth range and sensitivity to an appropriate level, and draw a picture of the terrain beneath your boat. If POWER is the only button you press, you will benefit from the advanced automatic bottom tracking capability of the unit. However, if you choose to experiment with the many features and controls the Wide View offers, you can customize the presentation of information to suit your particular needs. The Wide View offers a wide variety of settings and types of display, to satisfy any sonar need. SIMULATOR OPERATION The Wide View contains a simulator which allows you to use the unit as if you were on the water. This simulator is invaluable for learning how to operate the many features of the Wide View unit. With the unit turned off, press and hold POWER until you hear a continuous chirp. This initiates the simulator operation and "simulator" will be displayed at the top of the screen. [. . . ] See Installing the Wide View for additional information. Also, several kits are available that include a Wide Side transducer with a switch or an additional mounting system. (See Section One, Available Accessories) 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. Use the MENU button to select the "System Options" menu and press ENTER. [. . . ]
