Blink Codes
After the sonar module is installed, it turns on when the chartplotter is turned on. The color status LED on the
sonar module indicates its operational status.
LED Color State
Status
Green
Blinking
The sonar module is connected to a chartplotter and is operating
properly. You should see sonar data on the chartplotter.
Red
Blinking
The sonar module is turned on, but is not connected to a chartplotter,
or is waiting to connect to a chartplotter. If the sonar module is
connected to the chartplotter and this code persists, check the wiring
connections.
Orange
Blinking
A software update is in progress.
Red/Green Blinking
Reserved
Red
Two blinks followed by a
3-second pause
Other sonar failure.
Red
Three blinks followed by a
3-second pause
The transducer is not detected by the sonar module. If this code
persists, check the wiring connections.
Red
Five blinks followed by a
3-second pause
The sonar module input voltage exceeds the maximum input voltage.
Transducer Settings and Operation
For transducer settings and operation information, see your chartplotter owner's manual.
Calibrating the Compass
Before you can calibrate the compass, the transducer must be installed on the shaft far enough away from the
trolling motor to avoid magnetic interference, and deployed in the water. Calibration must be of sufficient
quality to enable the internal compass.
NOTE: To use the compass, you must mount the transducer on the transom or the trolling motor shaft. The
compass may not work when you mount the transducer on the motor.
NOTE: For best results, you should use a heading sensor such as the SteadyCast
™
heading sensor. The heading
sensor shows the direction the transducer is pointing relative to the boat.
You can begin turning your boat before calibrating, but you must fully rotate your boat 1.5 times during
calibration.
1 From an applicable sonar view, select MENU > Sonar Setup > Installation.
2 If necessary, select Use AHRS to turn on the AHRS sensor.
3 Select Calibrate Compass.
4 Follow the on-screen instructions.
