[. . . ] ICE 35, ICE 45, ICE 55 Installation and Operations Manual 531611-1_A THANK YOU! Thank you for choosing Humminbird®, America's #1 name in fishfinders. Humminbird® has built its reputation by designing and manufacturing top-quality, thoroughly reliable marine equipment. Your Humminbird® is designed for trouble-free use in even the harshest marine environment. In the unlikely event that your Humminbird® does require repairs, we offer an exclusive Service Policy - free of charge during the first two years after purchase, and available at a reasonable rate after the two-year period. [. . . ] After connecting the transducer to the control head, and confirming that the power cable is connected to the battery, drop the transducer into the ice hole to confirm proper operation. WARNING: Before walking onto the ice, make sure that conditions are safe. 2. Turn the Power/Range dial to A (Auto) or x1 to power-on the control head. NOTE: If the unit does not power up, make sure that the connector is fully seated in the back of the control head, the power cable is connected to the battery, and the battery is charged. 3. If all connections are correct and power is available, the Humminbird® control head will enter Normal operation, and you should see the bottom on the control head display. If the bottom is visible on-screen with a digital depth readout, the unit is working properly (ICE 35 will only display the bottom on the Flasher Dial). NOTE: The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer detection. The bottom of the transducer should be even with the bottom of the ice or hang slightly below the bottom of the ice. 16 GETTING STARTED USING YOUR ICE FLASHER SERIESTM FISHFINDER Your ICE Flasher SeriesTM interface is easy to use. A combination of keys and special features allows you to control what you see on the Flasher Dial and Active Display. Refer to the following illustration, and see Key Functions for more information. 4 3 1 5 6 7 8 9 2 10 1 Flasher Dial 2 Range Scale (ICE 35) Active Display (ICE 45/55) Zoom Key 6 Gain/Backlight Key (ICE 45/55) 7 Noise/Units Key (ICE 45/55) 8 Beam/Battery Key 9 Power/Range Dial 10 3 Selection Dial 4 Color Key (ICE 55) 5 Target Key (ICE 55) 17 POWERING UP THE CONTROL HEAD Power-on your ICE 35/45/55 Flasher by turning the Range/Off dial to any range setting. The ICE Flasher SeriesTM Fishfinder will immediately enter Normal operation, and the sonar return signals from the bottom will be displayed on the Flasher Dial. SIMULATOR Use the Simulator to learn how to use your ICE Flasher SeriesTM Fishfinder before taking it out on the ice. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on-the-water operation, providing a randomly-updated display. We recommend going through this manual while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function the way they actually do when in Normal operation. To begin Simulator mode, hold down the Selection dial while powering on the control head. Exit the Simulator by powering your ICE 35/45/55 off. WHAT'S ON THE FLASHER DIAL The ICE Flasher SeriesTM Fishfinder uses a backlit circular display, together with a multi-button keypad, to control all user functions. In addition, multiple color palettes are available, depending on your model. Sonar return signals are displayed as colored lines on the Flasher Dial. The color and thickness of the lines reflect the strength of the sonar return or the size and density of the object. In addition, multiple color palettes are available, depending on your model. All Humminbird® ICE Flasher SeriesTM Fishfinders provide a multicolor palette, where red = strong, yellow = medium, and green = weak sonar return signals. If you have a high-end ICE 55 Flasher, you will also have the choice of 2 additional color palettes. The color palette you have selected will determine the appearance and significance of the individual color lines that appear on the Flasher Dial. NOTE: The location of an object in relation to the transducer can influence how it appears on the Flasher Dial. For example, a large object might display as a weak sonar return signal if it is located on the outer edges of the transducer beam, where as a small object located at the top of the transducer beam might display as a strong sonar return signal. 18 1 3 2 7 6 5 4 1 Zero: Indicates the start of the dial and represents the surface of the water, or the top of the water column. 2 Reading Direction: Read the dial in a clockwise direction. The top of the Flasher Dial represents the top of the water column, and as you read further around the dial, you are reading deeper into the water column.
