Transducer End.
To start using the PORT, the Housing must be opened so that the battery can be plugged in. The
instructions for this continue below in sub-section 4.1.
4.1 Turning the Unit On

battery pack installed. Unless otherwise requested, all battery packs are disconnected in transit, to
prolonging the battery life.
To use the PORT LF, the Housing MUST be opened so that the battery can be plugged into the JP3 header
connector on the electronic board. Then, the unit must be closed and the Housing purged.
