PCF OFFSET The GPS navigation system relies on complex mathematical calculations to determine your position based on satellite data and otherfactors. One factor is the Earthsshape. Sincethe Earth is not atruesphere, variations in the calculations have to be made to accommodate deviations. To make matters more complex, not everyone uses the same data to determine whatthe deviations are. Thesizeandshape of the ellipsoids that are used to approximate the earth's surface are improved often.
POWER CONNECTIONS The UltraNav I! works from a twelve-volt battery system. For the best results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You canattach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have problemswith electrical interference. Therefore, ifs saferto go ahead and attach the powercabledireotlytothebattery. Ifthe cable istoo short, splice #18 gaugewire onto it. The powercablehasfour wires; red, black, green, and white. Red is the positive lead, black is negative or ground.
PRESET ThePresetfeaturereturns all sonar and OPSunitstotheir original factory settings. This resets the units of measure, speaker volume, automatic mode onthe sonarside, displaycontrast, andmore. Thisdoesn'teraseany waypoints or routes, however. The white wire is for a NMEA interface. The UltraNavII sends data to anotherelectronic navigation devices throughthe whitewire. The green wire is for a differential GPS (DGPS) receiver input.
Surface Mounting - WithoutAccess If you don't have access to the back side of the mounting surface, use the "cleats" supplied with the UltraNav II. (Note: This is assuming you can "snake" the module's cableto a location that is accessable. A hole will still need to be drilled in the mounting surface for the cable.) Using the gasket as a template, mark and drill the 17mm (11/16") hole forthe cable. Attach the cable to the module .and dropthe other end of the cable through the gasket and down the hole.
DGPS (Differential GPS) BEACON RECEIVER SETUP You'll have to tell the UltraNav II which beacon receiver's data to expect and setup the parameters for that data. To do this, first press the MENU key, then pressthekey nexttothe'CHANGEGPS SETTINGS" label. Now press the key next to the "SELECT NMEA" label. The screen on the previous page appears. Pressthe key nexttothedesired beacon receiver.

ACCURACY • • Youmay haveheard talesofextraordinary accuracy fromGPS receivers. The DOD requires accuracy of 10 to 15 meters fromthesatellite system. However, onlythe military getsthis precision. Theway the militarykeeps us and otherunauthorized people from using the more precise systemis coding. In otherwords, the data coming fromThe satellites is encrypted. Civilian OPS receivers use "C/A Code." It'saccuracy is intentionallyworse than the military's "P Code.
Therefore,everytime youturntheuniton, the settings are exactlyas you left them. However, you can return the UltraNav II to it's factory settings using the preset feature. This returns all sonar and GPS receiver settingsat the sametime.To usethisfeature, press the MENU key sixtimeswhiJeasonar screen is showing. Next, press the keyadjacent to the "PRESET SONAR AND GPS" label.The screen will clear and return to thesonar display.

Very small fish probablywill not arch at all. Medium sized fish will show a partial arch, orashape similartoan arch ifthey'rein deep water.Large fish will arch, but turn the sensitivity up in deeper water to see the arch. Because of waterconditions, such as heavy surface clutter, thermoclines, etc., the sensitivity sometimes cannot be increased enoughto get fish . . Oneofthebestwaysto get fish arches is to expand or "zoom" a segment ofthewater.For example, from45to60 feet.
