Installing the Transducer
The portable ice fishing kit may include one or two transducers
and mounting options. Follow the instructions applicable to your
hardware.
Installing the Ice Fishing Transducer
1
Insert the transducer cable through the float.
2
Snap the float stop
À
onto the transducer cable, on the top of
the float.
3
Adjust the float and float stop so the transducer is hanging
beneath the ice.
4
With the transducer cable connected to the back of the
device, drop the transducer into the water.
Panoptix Ice Fishing Mount Installation
Assembling the Panoptix Ice Fishing Mount
You need a Phillips screwdriver and a 5 mm hex wrench to
assemble the ice fishing mount and attach the transducer.
1
Insert the 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
À
between the handle
Á
and the top pole
Â
,
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 Panoptix PS22 transducer needs to 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
Using a 5 mm hex wrench, attach the transducer bracket
Ã
to the bottom pole using the hex head screws
Ä
.
7
Use the included knob or mounting bolt
Å
to attach the
transducer
Æ
to the bracket.
TIP:
Use the optional included rubber washer
Ç
for faster
and easier transducer angle adjustment.
You can align the transducer parallel to the pole mount
handle to provide a direction indicator.
8
Use the hook and loop straps to secure the transducer cable
to the pole.
9
Place the mount base around the hole in the ice.
10
Rotate the handle to aim the transducer.
Adjusting the Transducer Angle
The transducer should be angled properly for optimal imagery in
each mode.
1
With the transducer mounted, angle the transducer according
to the mode you will use:
• For LiveVü Forward mode, angle the transducer forward
and slightly downward
À
.
• For LiveVü Down mode, angle the transducer down
Á
.
TIP:
You may want to experiment to find the best angle for
your sonar needs.
