Assembling the Panoptix Ice Fishing Mount
You need a Phillips screwdriver and the included 5 mm hex
wrench to assemble the ice fishing mount and attach the
transducer.
1
Insert the Phillips head sheet metal screws into the four
corners of the ice mount base.
The screws protrude from the bottom of the base to help
stabilize the mount when it is on the ice.
2
Locate the handle and the top pole segment.
3
Place the base between the handle and the top pole ,
and screw them together.
4
Determine how many of the three middle pole segments you
need to use, based on the thickness of the ice.
TIP:
The top of the transducer must be below the bottom of
the ice for best performance.
5
Screw together the needed segments, with the shortest
segment on the bottom of the pole.
6
Refer to the transducer installation instructions and follow the
steps for mounting the transducer on a shaft.
7
After mounting the transducer on the pole, use the hook and
loop straps to secure the transducer cable to the pole.
8
Position the transducer for the desired view.
9
Place the mount base around the hole in the ice.
10
Rotate the handle to aim the transducer.
Transducer Viewing Angle
Adjusting the transducer viewing angle enables you to see
optimal imagery in each viewing mode. Adjusting the transducer
angle to forward view allows you to see around the transducer.
Adjusting the transducer angle to downward view allows you to
see below the transducer. After adjusting the transducer to the
desired viewing angle, you can check the view on the
chartplotter screen by navigating to the viewing menu.
Instructions for setting the viewing mode vary by model, so refer
to the transducer installation instructions and the chartplotter
owner's manual for more details.
TIP:
You may want to experiment to find the best angle for your
sonar needs. Water conditions and bottom conditions affect the
depth and range performance of the transducer. You should use
caution and observe the water depth and range, especially when
your unit is operating in manual range or depth mode.
