The surface temperature gauge is a valuable fishing and boating aid. It will measure water
temperature in one-tenth of degrees and display the reading on the LCR screen. The probe and
computer controlled electronics have been designed for an accurate indication and an extremely
fast response time. If you do not have a surface temperature gauge, see your LCR dealer or call
the Humminbird Customer Service Department's Toll Free number listed in the front of this
manual.
