2
Measure the water temperature using a different
thermometer or temperature sensor that is known to be
accurate.
3
Subtract the water temperature measured in step 1 from the
water temperature measured in step 2.
This is the temperature offset. Enter this value in step 5 as a
positive number if the sensor connected to the device
measures the water temperature as being colder than it
actually is. Enter this value in step 5 as a negative number if
the sensor connected to the device measures the water
temperature as being warmer than it actually is.
4
Select Settings > My Vessel > Temp. Offset .
5
Use the arrow keys to enter water temperature offset
measured in step 3.
Setting the Keel Offset
You can enter a keel offset to compensate the surface reading
for the depth of a keel, making it possible to measure water
depth or depth below the keel instead of depth below the
transducer. Enter a positive number to offset for a keel. You can
enter a negative number to compensate for a large vessel that
may draw several feet of water.
1
Complete an action, based on the location of the transducer:
• If the transducer is installed at the water line
À
, measure
the distance from the transducer location to the keel of the
boat. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a positive
number to display depth below keel.
• If the transducer is installed at the bottom of the keel
Á
,
measure the distance from the transducer to the water
line. Enter this value in steps 3 and 4 as a negative
number to display water depth. Enter a 0 in this value to
display depth below keel and depth below transducer.
2 Select Settings > My Vessel > Keel Offset .
3
Select or based on the location of the transducer.
4
Enter the distance measured in step 1.

Troubleshooting
My device does not turn on
• Push the power cable all the way into the back of the device.
Even if the cable seems to be connected, you should push
firmly so that it is fully seated.
• Make sure the power source is generating power.
You can check this several ways. For example, you can
check whether other devices powered by the source are
functioning.
• Check the fuse in the power cable.
The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of the red
wire of the power cable. Check that the proper size fuse is
installed. Refer to the label on the cable or the installation
instructions for the exact fuse size needed. Check the fuse to
make sure there is still a connection inside of the fuse. You
can test the fuse using a multimeter. If the fuse is good, the
multimeter reads 0 ohm.
• Check to make sure the device is receiving at least 10 Vdc,
but 12 Vdc is recommended.
