This manual describes how to install and set up the FISH 4350 or FISH 4380. Refer to seperate Transducer Installation Instructions supplied with the transducer. This manual also explains how to operate the FISH 4350 and FISH 4380 effectively and gives troubleshooting and performance tips.
the older echoes being scrolled towards the left, eventually disappearing off the display. The scroll speed depends upon the water depth and scroll speed setting. See section 3-2 Setup > Sonar and section 4-1 Interpreting the display, for more information. The appearance of echoes displayed are affected by: • • • the ÞshÞnder settings (range and gain settings) echoes (different Þsh types, different bottom types, wrecks and seaweed) noise (water clarity and bubbles).
Power Off Gain Adjustment To turn the ÞshÞnder off, hold . A countdown box appears. Continue to hold for 3 seconds until the ÞshÞnder turns off. Gain (sensitivity) controls the amount of detail displayed on the screen. Refer to section 4-3 for more information. Note: If the unit is wired for Auto Power (section 6-4 Wiring options) the ÞshÞnder can be turned off only when the boat’s ignition is turned off.

The options are: English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Portuguese, Finnish and Greek.
Palette Use this to select a colour palette. Each colour within the palette represents a different echo strength, as shown on the sonar displays. There is a choice of Þve colour palettes: Black, Blue, White, Vivid and 8 colour. The Þrst four display more detail, whilst the 8 colour palette shows a greater distinction of signal strength between each adjacent colour. For the 16 colour palette, each colour covers 1.5 dB signal range. For the 8 colour palette, each colour covers 3 dB signal range.
Tank full When asked Are you sure? select Yes. Select Tank full each time the fuel tank(s) are completely reÞlled. When asked Are you sure? select Yes. Otherwise, the reading on the Fuel display (see section 5-5 Fuel Display) and the Low Fuel Alarm (see section 3-6 Setup > Alarms) are meaningless. Tank size Set remaining Calibrate Before doing a partial reÞll of the tank or removing fuel manually from the tank (for example, by siphoning it off): Flow Þlter Enter the capacity of the fuel tank. Num.
3-5 Setup > Logs Press MENU twice to display the Setup menu, then select Logs: The values can be changed independently of each other. These log values are saved when the unit is turned off. Reset trip dist (FISH 4380 only) This resets the trip distance to zero. Reset total dist (FISH 4380 only) This option resets the total distance to zero. Reset engine hours Use this option to reset the engine hours to zero.
3-7 Setup > Units Press MENU twice to display the Setup menu, then select Units: The default units are shown in this example.
rate for normal usage. To calibrate the temperature readout, Þrst measure the water temperature with a thermometer known to be accurate. Use the cursor keys to display the temperature readout box, then increase or decrease the value to match the measured temperature. The temperature can be set from 32° to 99.9°F (0° to 37.7°C) with a resolution of 0.1° unit. To change the units between °F (Fahrenheit) or °C (Celsius), see section 3-7 Setup > Units.
20 ft (6 m) it takes only about 25 seconds. The scroll speed can be set by the user to display either a longer history with less Þsh information or a shorter history with more Þsh details. See section 3-2 Setup > Sonar. If the boat is anchored, the echoes all come from the same area of bottom. This produces a ßat bottom trace on the display. The screen shot shows a typical sonar display with the Fish symbols turned Off.
Shadows Shadows are created around areas where the ultrasonic beam cannot ‘see’. These areas include hollows on the bottom or beside rocks and ledges, where the strong echoes returned off the rocks obscure the weak echoes of the Þsh and may also create a double bottom trace. See following for an example of the sonar display in such an environment. A double bottom trace is shown on the display.
Stationary boat 1 minute ago Now Time When a boat is stationary, all bottom echoes will come from the same small area of bottom. This will produce a ßat bottom trace on the screen. The appearance of the Sonar and Zoom screens can be changed to suit individual preferences. Note: Times indicated are for illustration only. 4-2 Fish detection and display Where to Þnd Þsh Underwater features like reefs, wrecks and rocky outcrops attract Þsh.
Fish arches Transducers Installation Guide). In good conditions and with Fish symbols Off, a Þsh passing through the cone-shaped ultrasonic pulse is displayed as a Þsh arch. A Þsh arch occurs when a Þsh enters the weak edge of the sonar cone, generating a weak echo that is displayed as the Þrst pixel of the Þsh arch.
4-4 Range Range is the vertical depth displayed on the FISH 4350 and FISH 4380. The Navman ÞshÞnder has two range modes, Auto Range and Manual Range: • In Auto Range, the ÞshÞnder adjusts the depth range automatically so the bottom is always shown in the lower part of the display. The use of Auto Range is recommended for normal conditions. • In Manual Range, the ÞshÞnder shows only a selected depth range.
5-1 Sonar display To show the Sonar display highlight Sonar and press : This display scrolls from right (most recent echoes) to left (oldest echoes). (see section 3-2 Setup > Sonar).
5-4 Sonar A-Scope display To show the A-Scope display, select Sonar AScope and press . Use this to analyse the sonar data in detail and optimize the Gain settings. Divider line between sonar history and A-Scope displays, by using the Gain setting. See section 4-3 Gain, for more information. The strength of an echo at a particular depth is shown by the length of the horizontal line at that depth. A strong echo produces a long line whereas a weak echo produces a short line.
5-6 Data display To show the Data display, select Data and press . The data display shows a graph of the water temperature and depth over time and other selected data items. The graph is useful for locating warm and cold spots in the water. Refer to section 3-4 Setup > Data to change the displayed data items and temperature graph time base. To change units, refer to section 3-7 Setup > Units.
would generally be in a shaded area. • Bracket mounting requires a panel for mounting the bracket. Ensure that the panel is not likely to deform and is not subject to excessive vibration. The bracket can be tilted and rotated so the FISH 4350 and FISH 4380 can be removed after each use. Select a position where the display unit will be: • At least 4" (100 mm) away from the compass. • At least 12" (300 mm) away from any radio transmitter. • At least 4 ft (1.2 m) away from any antenna.
NMEA wiring Option (FISH 4380 only) Auto power option White Wire: Use this, if desired, to connect the ÞshÞnder to other NMEA instruments such as Navman’s REPEAT 3100. (See section 6-5 Systems of several instruments.) Secondary alarm wiring option (FISH 4380 only) Green Wire: Use this to connect a secondary alarm indicator such as a flashing light or external beeper with a built-in drive circuit. See the Auto power wiring diagram.
6-6 Cleaning and maintenance Clean the screen only with a damp cloth and mild detergent when dirty or covered in sea salt. Avoid abrasive cleaners, petrol or other solvents. Cover or remove a transom-mounted transducer when repainting the hull. If painting over a through hull transducer with antifouling paint, use only one coat of paint. Remove the previous coat of antifouling paint by sanding it lightly.To optimize performance, avoid walking on or jamming cables and connectors.
Appendix B - Troubleshooting This troubleshooting guide is written with the assumption that the user has read and understood the relevant sections in this manual. It is possible in many cases to solve difÞculties without having to send the display unit back to the manufacturer for repair. Please follow this troubleshooting section before contacting the nearest Navman dealer. There are no user serviceable parts.

To stop problems from electrical noise, try: - re-routing the power and transducer cable(s) away from the boat’s other electrical wiring. - routing the display unit’s power cable directly to the battery with an in-line fuse. Bottom is not displayed: The ÞshÞnder may have Manual Range selected and the depth may be outside the range value selected.
12. Erratic Fuel Flow readings: a) The fuel ßow transducer may have been mounted too close to the fuel pump or may be subject to excessive vibration. Refer to the installation instructions supplied with the fuel transducer. b) Check for leaks in the fuel line or in the fuel pickup in the tank. c) The Flow Þlter value is not suitable for the engine. Check that the value is not set to zero, then try increasing the value until a steady ßow rate is shown. See section 3-3 Setup > Fuel. 13.
