Please be noted for the points below when installing and using the transducer. 

 

 

1.  Make sure that the transducer is always placed/stored straight-up. The transducer is 

filled with oil inside the case. Placing side-way has the risk of leaking oil to the cable. 

Do NOT place it side-way. 

 

2.  Transducer dome is consists of precise components. It may be damaged by strong 

shock and vibration without having clear appearances such as scratch or dent etc. 

Handle with care. 

 

3.    Do not exceed 10 knots when lowering the transducer. The transducer may become 

damaged or malfunctioned when exceeding 10 knots.

Make sure to raise the 

transducer when you gain speed.
