1100 Series™ Introduction Your 1100 Series™ Ultra Wide Screen Fishing System comes in several different configurations.
The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to achieve greater depth capability. The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar transmitter.
High Definition Side Imaging Sonar (1197c SI Combo models only) Your 1100 Series™ 1197c SI Combo uses Side Imaging sonar to provide a wide yet precise survey of a large area of water, including detailed bottom topography and fish-attracting structure orientation. The Side Imaging transducer returns are processed into an image similar to an aerial photograph.

Accessories plug directly into the 1100 Series™, enabling Advanced features such as WeatherSense®, CannonLink™ Downrigger Controller, and the SmartCast® Wireless Sonar Link. Additional tabs and menu choices will be added to the menu system automatically when an accessory is plugged into the unit. In addition, multiple accessories can be attached simultaneously.
Installation Overview Please read all instructions that are relevant for your configuration before beginning the installation process. NOTE: Installation procedures will depend on product configuration. The 1100 Series™ has a wide variety of configurations.
1100 Series™ Connectors 1 2 3 4 5 6 GPS Out Power Communications Video Out Temp/Speed Transducer 1 2 3 4 5 6 Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring, this can be used to route cables. Be sure to route the cables as far as practical from the antenna cable of VHF radios or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference. The GPS receiver cable should not be cut, and care should be used not to damage the cable insulation.
Control Head Installation You have two choices for mounting your 1100 Series™ control head, Gimbal mounting, where you use a surface on the boat, such as the dash, to mount the control head so that it can be tilted up or down, or Indash mounting. Gimbal Mounting the Control Head If you are gimbal mounting the Humminbird® 1100 Series™, you can pre-assemble the unit in order to plan the best mounting location.
NOTE: Go to the installation instructions applicable to your GPS Receiver and accessories. Make the required installations and then run the cables to your control head mounting location. Do not cut any cabling (except the power cable). If your cables are too short, extensions are available from your local dealer or online from www.humminbird.com. 3. After the mounting location has been determined, loosen the gimbal knobs and remove the control head from the gimbal bracket.
7. Place the mounting bracket on the mounting surface aligned with the drilled holes and fill the mounting holes with marine grade silicone sealant. Insert the four #10 Slotted-Hex wood screws into the mounting holes. Hand-tighten only. 8. If the cable pass through hole is beneath the mounting bracket, you will need to install the hole cover after you have routed all cables. Place the hole cover over the mounting bracket cable pass thru hole and align with holes drilled in step 6a.
10. Insert cable connectors into the proper recesses on the cable collector insert. The cable connectors are keyed to prevent reverse installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the wrong slots. If you don’t have a cable for every hole in the insert, install the blank plugs to protect the control head from the weather.
Plugging the Assembled Cable Connector into the Back of the Control Head NOTE: You may wish to dress the cabling with nylon wire ties in order to hold the cables together and create a cleaner assembly. The Humminbird® 1100 Series™ control head is now ready for operation. In-Dash Mounting the Control Head If you are in-dash mounting the control head, start by placing the components on the surfaces where you intend to install them before installation.

Place a lock washer onto each threaded rod, then secure the bracket: place a wing nut onto each threaded rod and tighten fully. 6. Thread the cables through the opening in the back of the cable collector cover. 7. Insert cable connectors into the proper recesses on the cable collector insert.
Assembling the Cable Collector 1 Cable Collector Insert 2 Screws 3 Cable Collector Cover 1 2 3 9. Attach the cable collector insert to the cable collector cover using the (2) #6 Phillips screws provided. 10. Plug the assembled cable collector into the back of the control head, pushing gently but steadily until you feel the collector snap into place. Cable connectors and cable sockets are keyed to prevent reverse installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the wrong sockets.
Connecting the Control Head Power Cable to the Boat A 6' (2 m) long power cable is included to supply power to the control head. You may shorten or lengthen the cable using 18 gauge multi-stranded copper wire. CAUTION: Some boats have 24 or 36 Volt electric systems, but the control head MUST be connected to a 12 VDC power supply.
Transducer Installation Overview The 1157c Combo units and the 1197c SI Combo units use two different types of transducers. Find the installation section that describes your transducer type. 1197c SI Transducer Installation (1197c SI Combo models only) If you have a 1197c SI Combo unit, there are two different installation methods for your transducer: • Transom Transducer • Trolling Motor Transducer. Find the section that describes the method of installation you will be using.
Transom Transducer Installation (1197c SI Combo models only) If you will be installing a transom mounted transducer, use the procedures in this section. There are two pieces to the transducer mount assembly: the pivot, and the bracket. Your transducer comes with a twopiece metal and plastic bracket assembly. There are several procedures you will have to perform in order to install a transom-mounted transducer.
• The best way to locate turbulence-free water is to view the transom while the boat is moving. This method is recommended if maximum high-speed operation is a high priority. If this is not possible, select a location on the transom where the hull forward of this location is smooth, flat and free of protrusions or ribs. • The hydrodynamic shape of your transducer allows it to point straight down without deadrise adjustment.
Attaching the Bracket 4. Using a 5/32" (4.0 mm) bit, drill the three holes to a depth of approximately 1" (25 mm). On fiberglass hulls, it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating. Use a marine-grade silicone sealant to fill the drilled holes. 5. Align the metal mounting bracket with the mounting holes. The center slot should be above the two outer slots.
NOTE: The running position of the transducer is now completely adjustable. Subsequent adjustment may be necessary to tweak the installation after high speed testing. 1 5 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 Screw Headed Pin Allen Wrench Nylon Washer Stainless Washer To adjust the running position of the transducer: The transducer mounting bracket allows height and tilt adjustment, while the pivot bolt allows angular adjustment. These adjustments will help reduce cavitation.
To route the transom transducer cable: The transducer cable has a low profile connector that must be routed to the point where the control head is mounted. There are several ways to route the transducer cable to the area where the control head will be installed. The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat. NOTE: Your boat may have a pre-existing wiring channel or conduit that you can use for the transducer cable. 1.
Test and Finish the Transducer Installation When you have installed both the control head, the transducer, and accessories and have routed all the cables, you must perform a final test before locking the transducer in place. Testing should be performed with the boat in the water, although you can initially confirm basic operation with the boat out of the water. 1. Press the POWER/LIGHT key once to turn the control head on. There will be an audible chirp when the key is pressed correctly.
1157c Transducer Installation (1157c Combo models only) If you have a 1157c Combo model, there are three different installation methods for your transducer: • Transom Transducer • Inside the Hull Transducer • Trolling Motor Transducer. Your 1100 Series™ uses a Two Piece Kick-up transducer mounting bracket. Find the section that describes the method of installation you will be using.
1. Locating the transducer mounting location NOTE: If transom mounting is not possible because of a stepped hull or cavitation noise, and you have a single layer fiberglass hull, In-hull installation is an option. See Inside the Hull Transducer Installation for more information. Turbulence: You must first determine the best location on the transom to install the transducer. It is very important to locate the transducer in an area that is relatively free of turbulent water.
• On boats with stepped hulls, it may be possible to mount the transducer on the step. Do not mount the transducer on the transom behind a step to avoid popping the transducer out of the water at higher speeds; the transducer must remain in the water for the control head to maintain the sonar signal.
NOTE: If you have a flat-bottomed aluminum boat, some additional adjustment may be needed to accommodate the rivets on the bottom of the boat (i.e. the gap may need to be a little smaller than 1/8"). This will help you to avoid excessive turbulence at high speeds. NOTE: If your propeller moves clockwise (in forward, as you're facing the stern of the boat from behind), mount the transducer on the starboard side, and align the bottom right corner of the mounting bracket with the bottom of the boat.
Measuring the Transom Angle NOTE: It is important to take your measurement in the figure showing Measuring the Transom Angle, from exactly 12 inches down from the top of the transom. Plumb line 12” Transom Angle in degrees (°) 2. Place the two ratchets, one on either side of the transducer knuckle, so that the beads on each ratchet line up with the desired position number on the knuckle.
Inserting the Pivot Arm Assembly Into the Mounting Bracket Inserting the Pivot Bolt 3. Put the pivot bolt through the assembly to hold it in position and loosely install the nut, but do NOT tighten the nut at this time. Insert the pivot arm assembly into the mounting bracket. Do NOT snap the assembly closed, as you will need to access the mounting bracket in the next step.
Adjusting the Initial Transducer Angle One click too high Correctly aligned (transducer side seam aligned with boat bottom) Trailing edge Leading edge One click too low 7. Adjust the transducer assembly vertically, until the seam on the leading edge of the transducer (the edge closest to the transom of the boat) is level and just slightly below the hull.
4. Routing the Cable The transducer cable has a low profile connector, which must be routed to the point where the control head is mounted. There are several ways to route the transducer cable to the area where the control head is installed. The most common procedure routes the cable through the transom into the boat. NOTE: Your boat may have a pre-existing wiring channel or conduit that you can use for the transducer cable. 1. Unplug the other end of the transducer cable from the control head.
5. Connecting the Cable Insert the transducer cable into the appropriate terminal slot. The cable connectors are labeled, and there are corresponding labels on the cable holder on the rear of the control head. The slots are keyed to prevent reversed installation, so be careful not to force the connector into the holder. Refer to your manual and/or control head installation guide for the correct procedure for installing the cable connectors to the control head. 1.
7. Drill the third mounting hole, using a 5/32” drill bit. Use a marine-grade silicone sealant to fill all three drilled mounting holes, especially if the holes penetrated the transom wall. NOTE: On fiberglass hulls, it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating. Fully Tighten All Three Mounting Screws 8. Re-position the transducer assembly against the transom of the boat, then hand-install all three screws.
Fully Tighten All Three Mounting Screws 3. Re-position the transducer assembly against the transom of the boat, then hand install the first three screws (two on the outside edges and one in the 3rd mounting hole). Make sure that the transducer location and the pivot angle have not changed, then fully tighten all three mounting screws. Hand-tighten only! 4. Snap the pivot back down. Install #8 x 1" wood screw into the 4th hole to lock down the pivot arm.
NOTE: The integral temperature probe will not work with in-hull mounting, so you may either want to consider purchasing a Temperature/Speed accessory, a Temp. Sensor, or obtaining a different transducer. Humminbird® offers a transducer exchange program to swap the NEW and UNASSEMBLED transducer, accompanied by mounting hardware, for one without an integral temperature probe. Call the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468 for details, or visit www.humminbird.com for more information.
2. View the sonar signal at its best by holding the transducer over the side, immersed in the water, so that it is pointing straight down over a known flat bottom. Use the display to benchmark against the sonar signal that will be detected once the transducer is placed in the hull. 3. Place the transducer body face down at the identified mounting location inside the hull, with the end that has the mounting knuckle pointed towards the bow of the boat. Preferred Mounting Area 4.
4. Permanently mount the transducer 1. Make sure the position of the transducer is marked. 2. You may have to disconnect the cable to the control head and reconnect it at the end of this procedure. 3. Remove the water from inside the hull and thoroughly dry the mounting surface. If the surface is excessively rough, it may be necessary to sand the area to create a smooth mounting surface. 4. Slowly and thoroughly mix an ample quantity of two-part slow cure epoxy. Avoid trapping air bubbles. 5.
Trolling Motor Transducer Installation If you want to install your transducer on a trolling motor, use this procedure. Several styles of the transducer are compatible with trolling motor mounting. If you have a trolling motor bracket, refer to the separate installation instructions that are included with the bracket. NOTE: After trolling motor transducer installation, please perform the final testing and then finalize the installation (see Test and Finish the Transducer Installation).
GPS Receiver Installation To optimize performance of the GPS receiver, mount it in an area that has full exposure to the sky. The effective area of reception is 10° above the horizon. Different circumstances determine the mounting method appropriate for your GPS receiver.
2. Screw on the receiver base to the stem first, making sure that the stem pipe does not protrude from the receiver base. This adds protection to the cable when pulling it through the pipe stem. In addition to this, de-burr the pipe edges to reduce cable abrasion. 1 3. Use electrical tape to secure the NMEA cable to the receiver cable as shown. 2 NOTE: Leave the NMEA cable secured to the receiver cable unless needed. This will make removing the receiver easier. 4.
NOTE: Remember to seal screw holes and drilled holes as needed with marine-grade silicone sealant to protect your boat from water damage. 5. Align the GPS receiver screw holes over the pilot screw holes and attach with the #8 - 1 1/4" Phillips head screws. Hand tighten only! NOTE: If the mounting surface is thin and made of a lighter material, a backing material may be needed below the mounting surface.
Finish Routing the Cable and Check GPS Receiver Operation After installing a GPS receiver, you should perform the following procedure to finish routing the GPS cable to the control head and to check to make sure that the control head is working correctly. 1. Secure the cable along its path to the control head as needed with cable ties. 2. Plug the GPS receiver cable into the Communications port on the control head.
Testing the System Installation After you have completed the installation of the control head and any other accessories such as the GPS receiver, and have made all the cabling connections required, you must test the installation before using the system. To test the installation: 1. Press the POWER/LIGHT key on the control head once to turn on the control head. (There will be an audible sound to let you know that you pressed the key, and the initial Title screen will appear.
Getting Started - Using Your 1100 Series™ Your 1100 Series™ user interface is easy to use. A combination of keys, different views, and situationspecific, customizable menus allows you to control what you see on the color display. Refer to the following illustration, and see Key Functions, Views, and The Menu System for more information.
Powering Up the Control Head Turn on your Fishing System by pressing the POWER/LIGHT key. The Title screen is displayed until the Fishing System begins operation. The Title screen is displayed until the 1100 Series™ begins operation. Your 1100 Series™ will begin Normal or Simulator operation, depending on the presence or absence of a transducer.
What’s On the Sonar Display The 1100 Series™ can display a variety of useful information about the area under and adjacent to your 1 Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow. 2 Temperature - water surface temperature 3 Speed - if a Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is attached, the 1100 Series™ can display the speed of the boat, and can keep a triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled.

Understanding Sonar History It is important to understand the significance of the 1100 Series™ display. The display does NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time.
Sonar Bottom Presentation As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance.
WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns in white, resulting in a distinctive outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display.
Understanding Side Imaging (1197c SI Combo models only) It is important to understand how Side Imaging technology produces the display available on the 1100 Series™. The images you see on the display are produced using sonar technology. The special transducer produces three distinct beams – one beam facing down and two beams pointing out to the side.
What’s on the Side Imaging Display (1197c SI Combo models only) Side Imaging displays a number of easily recognizable features that allow for accurate interpretation of bottom conto rock and gravel provide a clearer sonar return than mud and sand because of their relative density. Upward slopes th a number of easily recognizable features on the Side Imaging display that allow for accurate interpretation of botto 1 Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow.
ur and structure. For Side Imaging, the bottom composition determines the intensity of the sonar return. For example, hat face the transducer reflect sonar better than downward slopes that face away from the transducer.
Side Imaging Technology: How It Works (1197c SI Combo models only) Side Imaging sonar uses two very precise sonar beams that are directed to either side of the boat and “illuminate” the bottom contour, structure, and fish, and display results in a “picture-like” image. • Side beams are extremely narrow from front to back, and provide “thin slices” of the bottom for high resolution imaging.
Side Imaging: On the Water Interpretation (1197c SI Combo models only) Use the following side imaging examples to help you interpret the side imaging display. Imaging Tips Boat speed: Side imaging is best performed at boat speeds between 2 to 6 mph. If the boat is stationary, the same information is displayed over and over. If the boat is moving very quickly, there will be gaps between the strips of information. The best boat speed to use will depend on the side range selected.

Sonar View Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display to the left. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom.
NOTE: If the Depth number is flashing, it means that the unit is having trouble locating the bottom. This usually happens if the water is too deep, the transducer is out of the water, the boat is moving too fast, or for any other reason that the unit can’t accurately receive continuous data.
Sonar Zoom View Sonar Zoom View increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom View, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the full range view on the right and the zoomed view on the left.
Split Sonar View Split Sonar View displays sonar returns from the 83 kHz wide beam on the left side of the screen and displays sonar returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam on the right side of the screen. You can use the Split Sonar View to make side by side comparisons between the sonar returns from the 83 kHz wide beam and the 200 kHz narrow beam.
Side/Sonar Combo View (1197c SI Combo models only) Side/Sonar Combo View shows regular sonar information and side imaging sonar information in a combination split screen. You can perform any of the functions for either of these views, but only when the view you want to control is selected as the active side (see Sonar X-Press™ Menu: Active Side or Side Imaging X-Press™ Menu: Active Side for more information).

Chart Orientation All the chart views allow you to choose the orientation of the chart. When North-Up orientation is selected, True North is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects located to the north of the boat are drawn above the boat. When Course-Up orientation is selected, the direction of motion of the boat is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects ahead of the boat are drawn above the boat.
NOTE: Your Chart screen will automatically declutter and simplify as you zoom out. When you zoom out, all waypoint icons that might otherwise overlap each other will declutter the screen by changing into very small blue icons, and individual waypoint names will be hidden. When you're panning, and your cursor snaps to a waypoint that is using the declutter icon, that waypoint will display its full-size icon and name temporarily (until you move the cursor off of it).
Introduction to Navigation Use the 1100 Series™ to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those waypoints via a saveable route (representing the shortest intended distance between waypoints). You can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat. Waypoints, Routes and Tracks Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your 1100 Series™ can store up to 3000 waypoints.
Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the GOTO key. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart.
To make it easier to select a waypoint, select Sort By and press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to select a sort order: • Name shows the waypoints alphabetically • Time shows the most recently-created waypoint first • Distance shows the closest waypoint first. Delete a waypoint: From the Waypoints submenu, select Delete and press the RIGHT Cursor key to display a list of waypoints. Select the waypoint you want to delete, then press the RIGHT Cursor key.
Add a Waypoint Target or Trolling Grid Add or Remove a Waypoint Target: From the Waypoints submenu (accessed from the Navigation main menu), select Target and press the RIGHT Cursor key to display a list of waypoints.

Start-Up Options Menu Press the MENU key when the Title screen is displayed to access the Start-Up Options menu. Start-Up Options Menu Use the UP or DOWN 4-WAY Cursor keys to position the cursor, then the RIGHT Cursor key to select one of the following choices. If you wait too long, the system will default to whichever menu mode happens to be highlighted: • Normal • Simulator • System Status. See the following paragraphs for more information about each of these choices.
Simulator Use the Simulator to learn how to use your 1100 Series™ before taking your boat on the water. 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 and affect the display the way they actually do when in Normal operation.
Self Test Self Test displays results from the internal diagnostic self test, including unit serial number, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) serial number, software revision, total hours of operation and the input voltage. IP and MAC addresses are also displayed. Self Test Screen Accessory Test Accessory Test lists the accessories connected to the system. Accessory Test Screen NOTE: The speed accessory will be detected only if the paddlewheel has moved since your 1100 Series™ was powered up.
GPS Diagnostic View GPS Diagnostic View, which is only available when a GPS Receiver is attached to your 1100 Series, shows a sky chart and numerical data from the GPS receiver. The sky chart shows the location of each visible GPS satellite with its satellite number and a signal strength bar. A dark gray bar indicates that the satellite is being used to determine your current position. A light gray bar indicates that the satellite is being monitored, but is not yet being used.
Sonar X-Press™ Menu The Sonar X-Press™ Menu provides access to the settings most frequently used. Press the MENU key once while in any of the Sonar Views to access the Sonar X-Press™ Menu. NOTE: Menu choices will vary depending on system settings such as whether the unit is set for Advanced User mode.

Active Side Active Side allows you to select which side of a Combo View will be active; key presses will only affect the active side of the screen. When a menu is displayed, the non-active side of the screen will be grayed out; at any other time, a green arrow will point to the active side. Combo Views usually display sonar on the left, with charts or Bird’s Eye usually on the right. The Active Side menu choice is only available when a Combo View is active. To select the Active Side: 1.
Sensitivity Sensitivity controls how much detail is shown on the display. Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar returns from small baitfish and suspended debris in the water; however, the display may become too cluttered. When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity shows weaker returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water.
Upper Range (Advanced: Sonar, Split Sonar and Active Sonar Side Views only) Upper Range sets the shallowest depth range that will be displayed on the Sonar, Split Sonar and Active Sonar Side Views. The Upper Range menu choice is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode) and can only be accessed from the Sonar, Split Sonar and Active Sonar Side Views. Upper Range is often used with Lower Range.
Chart Speed Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster speed shows more information in the Sonar Views and is preferred by most anglers; however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret.
Bottom Range (Sonar Zoom View only, when Bottom Lock is On) Bottom Range allows you to control how much of the water column, measured up from the bottom, is shown in the Sonar Zoom View. Choose a small value to see low-lying bottom structure or details of the bottom return. Choose a larger value to see large structure in deeper water. It is possible to set the Bottom Range to be greater than the depth. In this case, you may see surface clutter in a wavy band that mirrors changes in the depth.

This menu tab allows you to set the available views to either hidden or visible in the view rotation. The view will be removed from the view rotation if it is set to Hidden and will be displayed in the view rotation if it is set to Visible.
Accessories Menu Tab From any view, press the MENU key twice to access the tabbed Main Menu System, then press the RIGHT cursor key until the Accessories tab is selected. If no accessories are attached to the Accessory Bus, no accessory menu choices will appear under the Accessories tab, only the Screen Snapshot menu choice. If an accessory is attached, however, additional menu choices that support the accessory will be added automatically.
Using Screen Snapshot Screen Snapshot activates the screen snapshot function. When Screen Snapshot is enabled, pressing the MARK key creates a saved screen capture on the optionalpurchase MMC/SD card installed in your unit’s card slot. All menus, dialog boxes, warnings and messages are captured and saved automatically. Once you have created a screen capture, a screen capture thumbnail is added to the Snapshot and Recording View, and is available to view at a later date.
Highlight a thumbnail (using the Up or Down 4-Way Cursor keys), then use the Right 4-Way Cursor key to view the full image. A border around the full-size screen capture indicates that it is just a screen capture, not a “live” view. You can delete the highlighted image, or all captured images, using the Snapshot and Recording X-Press™ menu. (See Snapshot and Recording X-Press™ menu: Delete Image and Delete All Images for more information).
Troubleshooting Before contacting the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center, please read the following section. Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines may allow you to solve a performance problem yourself, and therefore avoid sending your unit back for repair.
Display Problems There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may cause problems with the quality of the information displayed on the control head. Look in the following table for some symptoms of display problems and possible solutions: Problem Possible Cause The control head loses power at high speeds. If the power output of your boat’s engine is unregulated, the control head may be protecting itself using its over-voltage protection feature.
Finding the Cause of Noise Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds, and high sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause noise or interference: Possible Source of Noise Isolation Other electronic devices Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if the problem goes away, then turn them on one at a time to see if the noise re-appears.

Glossary Sonar Terms Alarm, Depth: Depth Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds when depth is less than or equal to the setting. Alarm, Temperature: Temperature Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds when the water surface temperature equals the setting. Backlight: Backlight is a user-controllable illumination for the LCD for night and low light use. Beam (Sonar Beam): A sonar beam is the wide, cone-shaped projection of sound waves formed as sound travels underwater.
Glossary Sonar Terms Fish Arch: A Fish Arch is the apparent "arch" that appears on the display when any object moves through the sonar cone. The arch results from a gradual decrease in distance to an object as it moves into the sonar cone. The distance to an object changes due to the conical shape of the sonar beam, which causes the distance to be greater at the edges of the beam than at the center of the beam. When this distance change is graphed on the display, an arch appears.
Glossary Sonar Terms Pixels: Pixels are the "picture elements", or small square blocks, that make up the image on the LCD. Measured as a vertical by horizontal number (i.e. 640 V x 320 H), this key specification typically indicates the quality of resolution. In fishfinders, the total resolution (vertical multiplied by horizontal) is often less important than the "Vertical Pixel" resolution. See Pixels, Vertical.
Glossary Sonar Terms SONAR: SONAR is the acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar technology uses precision sound bursts transmitted underwater to determine the distance and other attributes of objects in the water. Distance can be determined because the speed of sound in water is constant, and the time for the signal to return is measured. Sound also travels very quickly underwater, making sonar a responsive, cost-effective tool.
Glossary Sonar Terms Transducer: The transducer is part of the sonar system, which mounts on the boat and is in contact with the water, that converts the electrical energy from the transmitter into sound energy, and that forms the sonar beam in turn. Internally, the transducer consists of one or more piezo electric disks that expand by very minute amounts to create the sound wave.
Glossary GPS and Navigation Terms Acquisition Time: The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to determine a position from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers provide very fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water faster. Alarm, Arrival: The audible alert that sounds when the boat is equal to or less than the alarm setting (25 feet – 3000 feet) from the location of the destination waypoint.
Glossary GPS and Navigation Terms Heading: Heading describes the direction the boat is pointing and is measured in degrees (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). Due to wind and waves, the boat is often traveling in a slightly different direction than it is heading, and therefore Heading is often confused with Course Over Ground. See Course Over Ground.
Glossary GPS and Navigation Terms Time To Go (TTG): Time To Go is the estimated time required to reach the destination waypoint. TTG is calculated using the SOG and DTG. See SOG and DTG. Track: A Track is a series of saved points that define the past path of the boat. These Track Points are saved at regular time intervals. Tracks are a useful and quick method to see where you’ve been, and an easy guide to follow to get you back to the starting point.
