The 500 Series™ Fishfinder uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 500 Series™ Fishfinder sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object. Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can “outrun“ this sonar signal. SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar utilizes precision sound pulses or “pings“ which are emitted into the water in a teardrop-shaped beam. The sound pulses “echo“ back from objects in the water such as the bottom, fish, and other submerged objects. The returned echoes are displayed on the LCD screen. Each time a new echo is received, the old echoes are moved across the LCD, creating a scrolling effect. 1 How Sonar Works When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret “graph“ of the bottom, fish, and structure appears. 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. It is commonly measured using two methods: • Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over the entire transmit cycle. • Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest points. The benefits of increased power output are the ability to detect smaller targets at greater distances, ability to overcome noise, better high speed performance, and enhanced depth capability. How Sonar Works 2 DualBeam Sonar Your 500 Series™ Fishfinder uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam sonar is optimized to show the greatest bottom definition using a narrow (20°) beam yet can still indicate fish found in the wide (60°) beam when the Fish ID+™ feature is turned on. DualBeam is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation. 3 How Sonar Works How GPS and Cartography Work Your 500 Series™ Fishfinder also supports GPS and chartplotting. It uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area. GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present position is determined by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites. All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it. Based on time differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position. With once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing. How GPS and Cartography Work 4 The GPS Receiver included with your 500 Series™ Fishfinder allows you to combine easy-to-use FishingGPS® chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding. The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 500 Series™ Fishfinder when it is connected to the included GPS receiver: • View current position • View current track (breadcrumb trail) • View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver • Save tracks, waypoints, and routes • Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next. Your 500 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™ Premium on MMC or SD card media. You can insert optional-purchase cards in the (MMC)/SD slot on your control head to access additional detailed maps. See Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot for more information. NOTE: Your 500 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™, and HotMaps™ Premium. Your 500 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts or Platinum™ Cartography. Your unit also comes with a built-in UniMap™ with a more detailed map of North America (Domestic models) or a more detailed map of Europe and Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models). Your 500 Series™ uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and it uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display. See Chart View: Viewing Cartography for more information. 5 How GPS and Cartography Work What’s On the Sonar Display The 500 Series™ Fishfinder can display a variety of useful information about the Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow. Temperature - water surface temperature. Timer - Elapsed time with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Distance - Distance traveled with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Average Speed - Average speed reading with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is attached, the Fishfinder can display the speed of the boat and can keep a Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled. Second Sonar Return - when the sonar signal bounces between the bottom and the surface of the water and back again. Use the appearance of the second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all. Cursor Dialog Box - indicates cursor depth on the display and the depth of the bottom directly below the cursor. The Latitude and Longitude of the cursor position, the distance to travel to the cursor position and the bearing to the cursor position is shown with a GPS receiver. A waypoint can be marked at the cursor position for later retrieval and use with a GPS receiver. NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if either device information from the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view. What’s On the Sonar Display 6 area under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items: High Sonar Intensity Return Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can be positioned in the Sonar View to provide depth of a sonar return and bottom depth below the cursor. Bait Ball Fish - the Fishfinder displays fish as arches and/or fish icons, and can be set to alarm when a fish of a certain size is detected. When a target is detected, a Fish ID+™ symbol appears on the display with the depth displayed above it. The size of the symbol indicates the intensity of the sonar return. The unit will clearly show schools of Bait Fish as "clouds" of different shapes and sizes, depending on the number of fish and boat speed. Thermoclines - layers of water with different temperatures that appear at different depths and different times of the year. A thermocline typically appears as a continuous band of many colors moving across the display at the same depth. RTS (Real Time Sonar) Window™ Structure - where fish may be hiding. Low Sonar Intensity Return is connected to the 500 Series™ Fishfinder. If both devices are connected, then only the 7 What’s On the Sonar Display Understanding the Sonar Display The returned sonar echoes are displayed on the screen. As a new echo is received, the historical data scrolls across the screen. What’s On the Sonar Display It is important to understand the significance of the display. The display does not show a literal 3dimensional 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. As both the boat and the targets (fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing a particular segment of time when objects were detected, not exactly where those objects are in relation to other objects shown on the display. 8 Real Time Sonar (RTS™) Window A Real Time Sonar (RTS™) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only. The RTS Window™ updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure, and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS Window™ plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return (see Sonar Menu Tab: RTS Window™). The Narrow RTS Window™ indicates the sonar intensity through the use of colors. Red indicates a strong return and blue indicates a weak return. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale. The Wide RTS Window™ indicates the sonar intensity through the use of a bar graph. The length of the plotted return indicates whether the return is weak or strong. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale. The Wide RTS Window™ does not use grayscale. 9 What’s On the Sonar Display Freeze Frame and Active Cursor Freeze Frame & Active Cursor - Press any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key, and the screen will freeze and a cursor will be displayed. Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to move the cursor over a sonar return, and the depth of the sonar return will be displayed at the bottom of the screen in the cursor information box. Instant Image Update - You can change a variety of sonar menu settings (such as Sensitivity or Upper Range), and the adjustments will be shown instantly on the screen. When combined with the Freeze frame feature, you can adjust and see the effects of many different sonar settings quickly and easily. The RTS Window™ continues to update in Freeze Frame. Pressing EXIT will exit Freeze Frame, and the display will start to scroll. Freeze Frame is available in the Sonar and Sonar Zoom Views. What’s On the Sonar Display 10 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. Bottom Contour Profile with RTS Window™ Rocky Bottom Soft Bottom Hard Bottom The sonar returns from the bottom, structure, and fish can be represented as either WhiteLine™ or Structure ID®. See Sonar Menu Tab: Bottom View for details on how to set the bottom view. 11 What’s On the Sonar Display Structure ID® represents weak returns in blue and strong returns in red. 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. What’s On the Sonar Display 12 Views The sonar and navigation information from your Fishfinder is displayed on your screen in a variety of easy-to-read views. There are many views available on your Fishfinder. When you press the VIEW key, the display cycles through the available views on your screen. When you press the EXIT key, the display cycles through the available views in reverse order. When you first power up the control head, Sonar View will be the default view. You can display and hide any view to suit your fishing preferences.

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. In both orientations, the view pans automatically, so that the boat is always centered on the display. When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle. When the boat is in motion, it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the direction of motion (always Up in the Course-Up orientation). Viewing Cartography In the Chart or Combo Views there are several cartography-related functions that you can access using various keys. Panning: Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to move the chart around on the display in the direction of the key being pressed. When you do this, a bull's eye cursor is drawn at the center of the screen and is linked to the boat by a gray line, even if the boat is off the screen. At the same time, the temperature and speed boxes in the lower left corner are replaced with the distance and bearing from the boat to the cursor position and the latitude/longitude coordinates of the cursor.

Press the MENU key once while in any of the Sonar Views to access the Sonar X-Press™ Menu. NOTE: Menu options can be expanded or simplified by setting the Fishfinder User Mode to Advanced or Normal. See Main Menu: User Mode for details. Sonar X-Press™ Menu 57 Sonar X-Press™ Menu Sensitivity Sensitivity controls how much detail is shown on the display and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar frequencies. 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. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish. Sensitivity at Low Sensitivity at Medium Sensitivity at High To adjust the Sensitivity: 1. Highlight Sensitivity on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu. 2. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Sensitivity setting. (Low = 1, High = 20, Default = 10) Sonar X-Press™ Menu 58 Upper Range (Advanced: Sonar and Big Digits Views only) Upper Range sets the shallowest depth range that will be displayed on the Sonar and Big Digits Views. The Upper Range menu option is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Main Menu: User Mode) and can only be accessed from the Sonar and Big Digits Views. Upper Range is often used with Lower Range. For example, if you are only interested in the area between 20 and 50 feet deep, you should set the Upper Depth Range to 20 and the Lower Depth Range to 50. The Sonar View will then show the 30 foot area between 20 and 50 and will not show the surface or the bottom (assuming the bottom is deeper than 50 feet). Greater detail will be shown for the area between 20 and 50 feet. NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered. To adjust the Upper Range: 1. Make sure the User Mode is set to Advanced, then highlight Upper Range on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu. NOTE: See Main Menu: User Mode to change the User Mode to Advanced. 2. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Upper Range setting. (0 to 990 feet or 0 to 327 meters [International Models only], Default = 0) 59 Sonar X-Press™ Menu Lower Range Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be displayed by the unit. Auto is the default setting. Auto: The Lower Range will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom automatically. Auto is the default setting. Manual: You can adjust the Lower Range to lock the unit on a particular depth. “M” will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen to indicate the unit is in Manual mode. Adjust the Upper and Lower Range together to view a specific depth range, especially when looking for fish or bottom structure. For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet), you should set the Lower Depth Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range, which allows you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display went all the way to the bottom. NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered. To adjust the Lower Range: 1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu. 2. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Lower Range setting.

Sonar Menu 75 Sonar Menu Tab Fish ID+™ Fish ID+™ uses advanced signal processing to interpret sonar returns and will display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. When a fish is detected, a fish icon and its depth are displayed above the return that has been classified as being a fish. Three different fish size icons represent the intensity of the sonar return and provide an indicator of relative fish size. DualBeam sonar models represent targets detected in the 200 kHz narrow beam as Orange Fish Symbols and targets detected in the 83 kHz wide beam as Blue Fish Symbols. 83 kHz, Wide Beam Blue Fish Symbols 200 kHz, Narrow Beam Orange Fish Symbols When Fish ID+™ is turned off, the Fishfinder shows only the raw sonar returns on the display. These returns will often result in “arches“ forming on the display, indicating potential targets. Due to the transducer beam angle, the distance to a fish decreases as the fish moves into the beam, and then increases as it moves out again, creating a Fish Arch when this distance change is shown on the display. Boat speed, chart speed, and the position of the fish within the sonar beam greatly affect the shape of the arch. Transducer Cone and Fish Arches To turn Fish ID+™ on or off: 1. Highlight Fish ID+ on the Sonar main menu. 2. Press the LEFT or RIGHT Cursor keys to turn the Fish ID+™ setting On or Off.

Views Menu 111 Views Menu Tab 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. Fishfinder Doesn’t Power Up If your Fishfinder doesn’t power up, use the Installation Guide that also comes with it for specific confirmation details, making sure that: • The power cable is properly connected to the Fishfinder control head. • The power cable is wired correctly, with red to positive battery terminal and black to negative terminal or ground. • The fuse is operational. • The battery voltage of the power connector is at least 10 Volts. Correct any known problems, including removing corrosion from the battery terminals or wiring, or actually replacing the battery if necessary. Fishfinder Defaults to Simulator with a Transducer Attached A connected and functioning transducer will cause the newly-started Fishfinder to go into Normal operating mode automatically. If, when you power up the Fishfinder, it goes into Simulator mode automatically, even though a transducer is already connected, this means that the control head is not detecting the transducer. Perform the following troubleshooting tasks: • Using the Installation Guide that also comes with your Fishfinder, check to make sure that the transducer cable is securely connected to the Fishfinder. Reconnect if necessary, and power up the Fishfinder again to see if this fixes the problem. • Replace the non-functioning transducer with a known good transducer if available and power up the control head again. • Check the transducer cable. Replace the transducer if the cable is damaged or corroded. Troubleshooting 112 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. Make sure the input voltage does not exceed 20 Volts. When the boat moves at higher speeds, the bottom disappears or suddenly weakens, or the display contains gaps. The transducer position may need to be adjusted. A mix of air and water flowing around the transducer (cavitation) may be interfering with the interpretation of sonar data. See your Installation Guide for suggestions on adjusting the transducer position. There are no fish detected, even when you know they are in the water under the boat, or sonar readings seem weak or faulty. Electrical noise from the boat’s engine may be interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the Cause of Noise for more information. Sonar readings may be affected if the transducer is not positioned correctly (i.e. mounted at an angle, not straight down), or there is some kind of mechanical interference, either because it is mounted inside a hull that is too thick for proper sonar transmission, the bond between the transducer and the hull is not airtight, or because the transducer is dirty. Check with your Installation Guide for guidance on re-positioning the transducer, and make sure the transducer is clean. Low battery voltage may be affecting the power of signal transmission. Electrical noise from the boat’s engine may be interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the Cause of Noise for more information. 113 Troubleshooting 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. The boat’s engine To determine whether the boat’s engine is the source of the noise, increase the RPMs while the boat is in neutral and stationary to see if the noise increases proportionately; if noise appears when you rev the engine, the problem could be the spark plugs, alternator, or tachometer wiring. Replace the spark plugs with resistor plugs, install an alternator filter, or route the control head power and transducer cables away from the engine wiring. Cavitation from the boat’s propeller Turbulence created by the propeller can cause noise; make sure the transducer is mounted at least 15” (38 cm) from the propeller, and that the water flows smoothly over the face of the transducer at all times. Troubleshooting 114 500 Series™ Fishfinder Accessories Accessories customize the Humminbird® Fishfinder to your needs and enable you to stay on the edge of new technology.

NOTE: Product specifications and features are subject to change without notice. Specifications 116 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. See Cone Angle. Big Digits View: Big Digits View is a Humminbird® feature that displays the sonar graph and enlarged digital readouts for easy reading from a distance. This is a great tool when monitoring the digital depth is important - such as with higher boat speeds, or when viewing the unit from a distance. When speed input is available, the Big Digits View also shows the TripLog. See TripLog. Bottom Black: Bottom Black is a Humminbird® feature that “fills in“ the area of the display below the bottom contour. Bottom Black is preferred by some anglers because of its high contrast and easy readability, even though it can obscure bottom hardness information. Bottom Contour: Bottom Contour is the profile of the bottom graphed to the display as the depth changes. Bottom Hardness: Bottom Hardness is the density (or composition) of the bottom, which can often be determined by interpreting the main sonar return. Varying levels of hardness can be determined by interpreting the “thickness“ of the sonar return. Hard returns appear thin and black, softer returns appear thicker and less black. It is important to note that a sonar return from a sloping bottom can have the appearance of a softer bottom. Cavitation: Cavitation is the effect of air bubbles created as the propeller rotates and the boat moves through the water. 117 Glossary Chart Speed: Chart Speed is a user-controllable feature that sets the speed at which sonar information moves across the display. A faster setting displays sonar information from more pings and shows more detail, but the information moves quickly across the display: a slower setting permits viewing of more sonar history, but does not display as much detail. The best setting is often the user’s personal choice. Cone Angle: The cone angle is the angular measurement of the sonar beam at a specific dB down point (i.e. -10 dB). See dB Down Point. Customizable Digital Readouts: Customizable Digital Readouts is a Humminbird® feature that permits the user to select the specific digital information that appears in the main Sonar view (i.e. Speed, Temperature, Barometric Pressure, TripLog, etc.) Dead Zone: The dead zone is the area of the sonar beam that receives the sonar signal after the main bottom return. Fish and other objects close to the bottom that fall within the dead zone will probably not be visible in the sonar beam. Precision sonar beams, such as the Humminbird® 20° beam, have a smaller dead zone than wider sonar beams. Decibel: A Decibel is the measurement for sound pressure level, or “intensity”of the sonar return. See dB Down Point. dB Down Point: The dB Down Point is the standard decibel level at which the sonar cone angle is measured, and is written as “@ -10 dB” or “@ -3 dB“. Measurements at smaller down points (bigger negative numbers) indicate that the less intensive sonar signals are being used for the measurement. Display, FSTN: FSTN is an acronym for Film Super-Twist Nematic. FSTN is a monochrome display technology characterized by black, high-contrast pixels. All monochrome fixed mount Humminbird® products use FSTN technology. DualBeam PLUS™: DualBeam PLUS™ is a Humminbird® sonar configuration that uses two sonar beams simultaneously, and combines the information from both beams into one view by overlapping the data on-screen, or shows each beam individually side by side, or permits each beam to be viewed individually full screen. Glossary 118 Feature Memory: Feature Memory is a Humminbird® feature that retains the user’s menu settings in permanent memory. Settings are retained even when the unit is powered off indefinitely. 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. Fish ID+™: Fish ID+™ is a Humminbird® feature that uses advanced sonar processing algorithms to determine if a detected object is likely to be a fish. When the sonar signal from an object meets strict parameters, the unit draws a Fish Symbol (or icon) and the digital depth of the target. On DualBeam and DualBeam PLUS™ units, fish detected in the narrow center beam are shown as shaded symbols, and fish detected in the wider beam are shown as hollow symbols. Fish Symbol: A Fish Symbol is the graphic that is displayed on the screen when Fish ID+™ determines that a sonar return is likely to be a fish. See Fish ID+™. Freeze Frame: Freeze Frame is a Humminbird® feature that pauses the sonar scrolling so that the image on screen can be studied with greater detail. See Instant Image Update. Frequency: Frequency is a measure of the number of sound wave cycles per second of a sound impulse transmitted underwater. A typical frequency for fishfinders is 200 kHz, which offers a good balance of performance under many conditions. Lower frequencies, such as 50 kHz, are capable of penetrating to greater depths, but with less resolution. Higher frequencies, such as 455 kHz, offer greater resolution, but are limited in depth performance. Humminbird® uses a variety of frequencies that are optimized for specific applications. Grayscale: Grayscale is the use of varying shades of gray to represent the strength of the sonar signal on the display , and is a very intuitive method of presenting information. Traditionally, the strongest sonar signals are represented in black, and progressively weaker signals are represented in progressively lighter shades of gray. 119 Glossary Grayscale, Inverse: Inverse Grayscale is a Humminbird® feature that reverses the correlation of sonar signal strength and the shade of gray typically used to represent it. The strongest sonar signals are represented by “white“, and progressively weaker signals are represented in progressively darker shades of gray. While somewhat counter-intuitive, this method makes the sonar images crisper, and has the benefit of enhancing the apparent sensitivity because the weaker signals appear bolder. Inverse grayscale works well in very clear water. Debris-laden water often appears as a lot of clutter on the screen. Instant Image Update: Instant Image Update is a Humminbird® feature that updates all the sonar information on the display when Sensitivity and a variety of sonar settings (Bottom View, Range, etc.) are modified. This differs from the traditional functionality that only updates the new sonar information collected after the setting change. Instant Image Update permits more accurate fine-tuning of the display because the user can see the results on the complete sonar graph. When combined with the Freeze Frame feature, the user can adjust and understand the effects of many different sonar settings quickly and easily. Maximum Depth Menu: The Maximum Depth Menu is a Humminbird® feature that optimizes performance based on the maximum operational depth set by the user. Many Humminbird® units can operate across a very broad depth range (up to 2500 feet) which causes the unit to “look“ up to that full depth under some circumstances. Due to the speed of sound in water, this can result in less responsiveness because the unit has to wait for a longer period of time to receive the sonar signal. When the Maximum Depth menu is set to a lower value, the unit only looks up to the setting, which increases the responsiveness of the unit. This is an important feature for anyone operating in shallower depths! Noise: Noise is unintentional, external sound waves that interfere with the optimal operation of sonar. Noise appears as random “dots“ on the display, and is caused by a variety of sources. Electrical noise (from trolling motors, bilge pumps, VHF radios) typically manifests as a consistent dot pattern. Electrical noise can be isolated by selectively turning on and off other electrical devices to determine the source. Often re-routing the power cable, or connecting to an alternative power supply (second battery) can help overcome electrical noise. Hydrodynamic noise (from propeller and/or hull cavitation) has a more random appearance and is generally related to boat speed, so that faster operation results in more noise. Hydrodynamic noise can be overcome by proper transducer installation. Many Glossary 120 Humminbird® products have a Noise Filter menu setting that allows the user to clear the screen of noise that is difficult to eliminate. 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. 640V x 320H), 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. Pixels, Vertical: Vertical Pixels are a number of vertical picture elements in a single column on an LCD display. A greater number of vertical pixels provide finer resolution of targets detected by sonar. Essentially, a vertical distance (the depth), when divided by a larger number, breaks that distance into smaller samples, each representing a smaller area and thus providing more detail. In fishfinders, vertical pixels are more critical than horizontal pixels because the horizontal axis of the display represents time, or history. Sonar information on the horizontal axis can vary greatly, depending on boat speed and the Chart Speed setting. A greater number of horizontal pixels show more sonar history that the boat has passed through. On many models, Humminbird® provides the most vertical pixels to provide a better display resolution. See Chart Speed and Pixels. Power Output: Power output is the amount of sound energy emitted into the water by the sonar transmitter. Power output is measured using either RMS (Root Mean Square) or P-T-P (Peak-to-Peak) measurement systems. Either method is acceptable, but it is important, when comparing power outputs, to make sure that the same measurement system is being used for both outputs, because P-T-P numbers are 8 times higher than RMS numbers. Greater power output allows the sonar signal to penetrate through weeds and thermoclines, reach deeper depths and operate more effectively in noisy environments, such as when the boat is running at high speed. Pulse Width (Pulse Length): Pulse Width is the length of time that a sonar sound burst is transmitted into the water. Shorter pulse widths provide better target separation, but cannot travel to great depths. Longer pulse widths provide better depth penetration, but result in poorer target separation. Humminbird® varies pulse width based on depth to optimize both target separation and depth performance. See Target Separation. 121 Glossary QuadraBeam PLUS™: QuadraBeam PLUS™ is a Humminbird® sonar configuration that uses four sonar beams for a more detailed bottom image. QuadraBeam PLUS™ uses the DualBeam PLUS™ configuration for downlooking, and also adds two additional beams to look to the left and right. The sonar beams pointing to the left and right provide the ability to spot fish and structure over a wide 90° area, and to identify on which side of the boat they are located. See DualBeam PLUS™. Quick Disconnect Mount: The Quick Disconnect Mounting system is an exclusive Humminbird® feature that permits the unit to be easily removed from the mounting base by pressing a release button, and re-installed by simply snapping it back into place. All cable connections are made when installing, so that no separate wiring connections are required. Additionally, the mount offers 90° tilt and 360° swivel capability to adjust the viewing angle of the unit as you move about the boat. Real Time Sonar: Real Time Sonar is a Humminbird® technology that delivers ultra-fast sonar transmitter/receiver operation and results in a more detailed instantaneous view of what is under the boat. The Real Time Sonar window is a vertical band at the right side of the display that shows the instantaneous sonar return from the transducer at a particular instant. The RTS Window™ menu option permits the user to adjust the window to show the full sonar signal return, or just a narrower band that indicates intensity using grayscale. Real Time Sonar relies on very fast Sonar Update Rate (Ping Speed). See Sonar Update Rate. Receiver: See Transmitter. Second Return: The Second Return is a term that describes the appearance of a second sonar return below the primary sonar return (bottom contour) at exactly twice the true depth. The second return is caused by the same sonar energy bouncing off the bottom once, rebounding to the water surface and then traveling back down to the bottom to be reflected again. Second returns are more common in shallow water and over hard bottoms; it is actually possible to see a third sonar return under some circumstances. The second return provides useful information to help determine bottom hardness, as areas with harder bottoms will generally create a second return. The second return can be used as a guide to set Sensitivity when in shallower water. Glossary 122 Sensitivity: Sensitivity is a user feature that adjusts the sensitivity of the sonar system to show more or less detail in the water. Higher sensitivities are often preferred, however, when the water contains debris (silt, storm debris, etc.) and it can be difficult to pick out targets. Conversely, if sensitivity is set too low, relevant targets may be missed. 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. Sonar is the basic technology behind all recreational and commercial fishfinding and depthfinding devices. Sonar Echo Enhancement: Sonar Echo Enhancement is a Humminbird® feature that describes the high degree of sonar sensitivity achieved through a combination of transmitter/receiver and software algorithms. The result of Sonar Echo Enhancement is to display virtually everything in the water that is of interest to the angler, including bait fish, game fish, thermoclines, weed beds, subtle structure, and more. Sonar Update Rate: Sonar Update Rate is the number of times per second that the transmitter/receiver sends and receives sonar signals. A very fast sonar update rate collects more information and provides a more detailed image of the bottom, fish and structure. Many Humminbird® units operate at up to 40 times per second when in single frequency operation. Due to the limitation of the speed of sound in water, the update rate begins to slow as depth increases to deeper than 50 feet. In very shallow water (less than 10 feet), however, update rates as much as 60 times per second can be achieved. Speed: Speed is the rate at which the boat moves through the water. Boat speed can be measured as Speed Over Ground or Speed Through Water. Speed Over Ground is provided by GPS, and is the measurement of the boats progress across a given distance. Speed Through Water is provided by a speed paddlewheel, and is the measurement of the flow past the boat, which may vary depending on current speed and direction. Speed Through Water is most critical for anglers using downriggers, as it impacts the running depth of the down riggers. Speed Over Ground is optimal for navigation, as accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement. Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both sources. 123 Glossary Structure: Structure is a general term for objects on the bottom that present a discontinuity and are a likely attractor for fish. This includes bottom contour features (drop-offs, humps, and holes), standing structure (stumps, timbers, brush piles) and a wide range of other potential objects (sunken boats, reefs). Humminbird® units excel at showing structure with great detail over a wider area due to unique sonar configurations developed for the angler. Structure ID®: Structure ID® is a Humminbird® feature that describes the traditional grayscale method of presenting sonar information. See Grayscale. Surface Clutter: Surface Clutter is a phenomenon where sonar returns are reflected off of tiny objects near the surface of the water, including algae and even air bubbles. Typically, saltwater environments have significantly greater surface clutter than freshwater due to continuous wind and wave action that causes aeration at the surface. The Surface Clutter menu provides manual control to bias the default settings under extreme conditions. Target Separation: Target Separation is the measurement of minimum distance that a fishfinder needs to be able to recognize two very close objects as two distinct targets (i.e. two fish hanging very close, or a fish hanging very close to structure). Humminbird® fishfinders provide a very good 2 1/2 inches of target separation in shallower than 100 feet of depth. Target separation decreases as depth increases due to the need for longer Pulse Width to achieve greater depth. See Pulse Width. Thermoclines: Thermoclines are water layer(s) of distinctly different temperatures that create a sonar reflection due to the density of the differing water temperatures. Typically a thermocline will appear as a continuous band across the display at some distance above the bottom contour. Thermoclines are of interest to anglers because fish will suspend above or below the thermocline as they seek the optimum temperature and oxygen levels. Time Variable Gain: Time Variable Gain is a processing step applied to the sonar return to “normalize“ the data so that objects of equal size (i.e. fish) appear to be the same size, even if they are separated by a good distance. Time Variable Gain is a fundamental attribute of good sonar, but is often promoted as a feature. Total Screen Update®: A Humminbird® feature that refreshes and updates all the sonar information on the display when a range change occurs. Without Total Screen Update®, only the most recent sonar information would be drawn to the Glossary 124 new range, and the old sonar information would continue to scroll off the screen at the old range. 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. This element also works in reverse, converting the returned sound energy back into an electrical signal that the receiver interprets. Transducers are available for many specific mounting applications for the boat, such as a transom mount, trolling motor mount, etc. Humminbird® offers many sophisticated transducers, often with multiple piezo electric elements designed to form specifically-shaped sonar beams, providing the angler with superior tools for finding and catching fish. See Transmitter and SONAR. Transmitter: The transmitter and receiver are matched parts of the sonar system that send (transmit) and listen to (receive) the sonar signals, and work in conjunction with the transducer. Humminbird® transmitters have an extremely fast cycling design that can send signals up to 60 times per second, as well as produce the varying levels of power output needed for different depths and conditions. Additionally, the transmitter has the capability to create very precise sonar pulses needed for a high degree of target separation. Humminbird® receivers are extremely sensitive, but within a narrow “bandwidth“ to discriminate against noise from external sources. Additionally, the receiver offers a wide “dynamic range“ which provides the ability to receive very strong signals alternating with very weak signals, without the strong signal overwhelming the weak signal. See Transducer and Noise. TripLog: TripLog is a Humminbird® feature that provides an on-screen counter for Elapsed Time, Average Speed and Total Distance traveled, and requires a speed input to activate the feature. TripLog appears on the Big Digits View, and can be reset to zero through the TripLog menu. TrueArch®: TrueArch® is a Humminbird® feature that provides true fish arches, not artificial arches or symbols. Humminbird® units are capable of producing fish arches due to the wide 60° sonar beam of DualBeam PLUS™, an extremely sensitive sonar receiver. See Fish Arch. 125 Glossary Viewing Angle: Viewing Angle is an attribute of an LCD that characterizes visibility of the display when viewing from off the central access, such as when standing to the side of the fishfinder. Wider viewing angles are better because the information remains visible even when viewing from the side. WhiteLine™: WhiteLine™ is a Humminbird® feature that highlights the strongest sonar return on the display using a very light gray band. This is preferred by some anglers who have grown accustomed to the feature on paper graph chart recorders. WideSide®: WideSide® is a Humminbird® sonar configuration used in an optional transducer. WideSide® uses three sonar beams pointing to the left, right and down. Beams pointing to the left and right are effective for spotting fish and structure near the surface or on the bank. The downlooking beam provides depth information directly below the boat. X-Press™ Menu: X-Press™ Menus are a Humminbird® feature that make the most commonly-used menu selections available with one press of the MENU key. Items that appear on the X-Press™ Menu are related to the current view, and present the most logical options for that view. Sonar View X-Press™ menus will differ from Chart View X-Press™ menus, etc. X-Press™ menus are one of the principal reasons that Humminbird® products are easier to use. Zoom: Zoom is a feature that focuses in on a smaller area of the bottom to provide enhanced resolution. With enhanced resolution, the angler can more easily see fish hanging in structure or multiple fish hanging close together. Split screen zoom divides the display into the full range view on the right, and the zoomed view on the left. Humminbird® offers One-Touch® Zoom which allows the zoom feature to be easily accessed from the regular sonar view with just one key press, eliminating the need to use menus to access the feature. Zoom, Bottom Lock: Bottom Lock Zoom is a feature that focuses on a smaller area just above the bottom to provide enhanced resolution. Unlike regular zoom, it continuously graphs the bottom at a constant point on the display regardless of changes in depth. This “flattens“ out the bottom contour, but is effective at showing fish on or near the bottom, and is preferred by many saltwater anglers. Glossary 126 GPS & 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. Alarm, Drift: Drift Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the boat is equal to or over the alarm setting (25 feet – 3000 feet) from the location where the alarm was turned on. Alarm, Off-Course: Off-Course Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the boat’s distance from the intended Track, (Cross Track Error), is equal to or over the alarm setting (25 feet – 3000 feet). See Track and Cross Track Error. Altitude: Altitude measures height above sea level. Altitude is a measurement that can be provided by GPS. Bearing (BRG): Bearing is the direction to a destination waypoint measured in degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). Chartplotter: Chartplotter describes a navigation device that shows Present Position on a Map, along with Tracks, Waypoints, and Routes. All Chartplotters are also considered Trackplotters. All Humminbird® GPS Combo units are Chartplotters. See Trackplotter. Cold Start: Cold Start refers to the procedure that a GPS receiver must perform when it does not have historical information regarding its current location. This procedure typically lasts for several minutes, and may be experienced upon first power up of the receiver, or if the receiver has been moved a great distance. Course Over Ground (COG): Course Over Ground is the current direction the boat is traveling measured in degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). When the Course Over Ground is equal to Bearing, the boat is said to be “On Course” and will arrive at the destination in the most efficient manner. COG is often confused with Heading. See Heading. 127 Glossary Cross Track Error (XTE): Cross Track Error is the straight-line distance of the boat from the intended Track. XTE measures how far the boat is off course, and also triggers the Off Course Alarm. See Track. Differential GPS (DGPS): Differential GPS is a system to improve the position accuracy of the Department of Defense GPS through the use of secondary “correction signals” broadcast from ground stations around the coastal United States and on some inland waterways. These correction signals are provided by the USCG and received by an auxiliary Differential Beacon Receiver (DBR) that connects to the GPS receiver. The advent of WAAS has largely negated the need for the added expense of a DBR in the United States. Distance To Go: Distance To Go is the straight-line distance between Present Position and the Destination Waypoint. DTG and SOG (Speed Over Ground) are used to calculate Time To Go. See Time to Go and Speed Over Ground. Estimated Position Error (EPE): Estimated Position Error is a calculation that indicates the potential position inaccuracy the user may experience due to a variety of GPS factors which include satellite position in the sky, signal strength and others factors. Fix Type: Fix Type indicates whether the GPS receiver is providing 2D fix or 3D fix. A 2D fix requires only three satellites and provides only latitude and longitude. A 3D fix requires four or more satellites, and provides latitude, longitude and altitude. GPS: GPS is an acronym for Global Positioning System. GPS provides accurate position (latitude, longitude, altitude) information virtually anywhere on the earth through satellite technology and personal receivers on the ground. A series of geosynchronous satellites broadcast a unique signal toward the earth once per second. A GPS receiver, such as that included with many Humminbird® products, receives the signals from these satellites and is able to determine position based on very slight differences in the time each signal is received and the receiver’s knowledge of the location of each of the satellites. 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 128 Map Datum: A Map Datum refers to a particular survey of the earth’s surface that was referenced when creating a chart (i.e. WGS84). Since the earth is not flat, and not even consistently round, a mathematical model must be used to translate coordinates from the sphere of the earth to the flat surface of a chart. This mathematical model is the Map Datum. Historically, many different Map Datums have been used around the world to create maps; often a reference to the Map Datum can be found in the legend of a paper map. It is important to select the correct Map Datum setting in your fishfinder when comparing GPS position to a paper chart to avoid slight position inaccuracies. Almost all electronic charts use the WGS84 Map Datum and therefore, they do not require setting changes. MMC: MMC is an acronym for Multi Media Card. An MMC is a postage stampsized memory device used to store electronic data such a maps, waypoints, routes and other information. MMC is a very rugged format suitable for the marine environment, but it is not waterproof. The MMC is removable from Humminbird® products, and can be used in a PC that is equipped with an appropriate card reader. MMC is the same format that many digital cameras use. See SD. North, Magnetic: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is 000°). Magnetic North relies on the earth’s magnetic field to align a metal pointer generally towards True North. However, due to local variations in the earth’s magnetic field around the globe, the difference between True North and Magnetic North can be greater than 10°. See True North. North, True: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is 000°). True North uses the axis of the rotation of the earth as the reference for North and is constant for all points on the earth. Most GPS units default to True North as the setting. The GPS heading may vary from the boat compass heading because the compass uses Magnetic North. Humminbird® GPS units provide the option of selecting True or Magnetic readouts by using the North Reference menu. See Magnetic North. Present Position: Present Position is the current location (latitude, longitude) determined by GPS. The Present Position is indicated on-screen by a directional boat icon if the boat is moving, or a round symbol if the boat is stationary. Route: A Route is series of waypoints linked together in a specific sequence to define a navigation path between two points, and saved in the fishfinder’s 129 Glossary memory. Routes are often used when frequently traveling between two or more locations because it is a faster and more accurate method than repeatedly selecting individual waypoints each time one travels through the same area. Routes consist of a Start Waypoint, an End Waypoint, and a series of waypoints in between. Users can begin navigation at the beginning, the end (to run the route in reverse) or at any waypoint in between. See Waypoint. SD: SD is an acronym for Secure Digital. An SD card is virtually identical in function to an MMC; however, the speed at which information can be accessed is generally faster, the storage capacity is generally larger, and the card has security features which can be used to prevent extracting the data from the card. SD is the same format that many digital cameras use. See MMC. Selective Availability: Selective Availability (SA) is a GPS system “feature” that can be implemented by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to degrade the accuracy of GPS positioning information. With SA active, the GPS is accurate to within 100 meters 95% of the time. With SA inactive, the GPS is accurate to within 45 meters 95% of the time. Currently, SA is inactive and the consumer can enjoy the greater precision GPS provides; however, the DoD reserves the right to activate SA at any time. Speed Over Ground (SOG): Speed Over Ground is the measurement of the boat’s progress across a given distance, and is the speed measurement provided by GPS. An alternate, Speed Through Water, is provided by a speed paddlewheel, and is the measurement of the flow past the boat, which may vary depending on current speed and direction. Speed Over Ground is optimal for navigation because accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement. Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both speed measurements. 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. Generally, all GPS units have a limited number of Track Points that can be saved before the unit runs out of memory and begins erasing the first track points saved. Because of this, the user can adjust the Track Point Interval Glossary 130 menu to increase the amount of time between when points are saved, and thus extend the distance covered by a track. Tracks can also be permanently saved to memory, and re-displayed at the user’s option. Track Line (TRK): The Track Line is the planned line of travel between two waypoints, and it represents the most efficient path between the two points because it is a straight line. The TRK is measured in degrees (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). See Cross Track Error and Course Over Ground. Trackplotter: Trackplotter describes a navigation device that shows Present Position, along with Track, Waypoint, and Routes, but NO MAP in the background. See Chartplotter. Trolling Grid: Trolling Grid is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise reference grid around a waypoint. This grid is used as a guide pattern for trolling around a specific area to assure a more efficient and complete coverage of that area. Trolling Grid resolution be changed by zooming in or out on the chart. The Trolling Grid can also be rotated on the display to orient it for optimal boat course for wave and wind conditions. UTC: UTC is an acronym for Universal Time Constant. UTC is the “standard time” used in navigation, and is the local time in Greenwich England. (UTC is equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)). To display the correct Local Time in a Humminbird® GPS unit, the user must use the Local Time Zone menu and select the time zone (i.e. EST, CST). WAAS: WAAS is an acronym for Wide Area Augmentation System. WAAS is complementary technology to GPS that provides enhanced accuracy through correction signals broadcast from Federal Aviation Administration WAAS satellites stationed over the USA. These secondary signals are automatically received by the standard Humminbird® GPS Receiver. With WAAS signal, GPS accuracy is improved to within 3 meters 95% of the time. Outside the United States, regional governmental coalitions have created similar systems such as EGNOS (Europe) and MSAS (Japan). 131 Glossary Waypoint: A Waypoint is the saved location (latitude, longitude) of a point of interest that is stored in a GPS receiver’s memory. This can include a marker buoy, dock, fishing hole or anywhere else the user may want to return to. Humminbird® products offer the ability to name and assign a symbol to the saved location. Depth, Date and Time of Day when the waypoint was created is also saved. Waypoint Target: Waypoint Target is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise “bull’s eye” around a selected waypoint. This bull’s eye is used to easily monitor boat position relative to a waypoint, and is useful for fishing over submerged structure. With Waypoint Targets, a quick look at the screen lets you know how far off the waypoint the boat has drifted.
