Your Matrix unit represents a revolutionary Fishing System that grows in
capability with the addition of one or more accessories. Accessories customize
the Matrix Fishing System to your needs and enable you to stay on the edge of
new technology and to catch more fish. When an accessory is connected to the
system, additional menus, readouts and views are added automatically to your
Matrix menu system. Note that some accessories may require additional
software to be loaded into the Matrix product. Accessories available today that
are supported by your Matrix include:

Temperature/Speed:

simply plugs into the Matrix unit and provides real time

speed and temperature readouts, as well a valuable Triplog function.  

Note:

If an external Temperature/Speed (TS-W) or Temperature (TG-W) accessory is

connected AND a transducer with temperature built in is connected at the same time, the
TS-W or TG-W accessory will override the temperature which is built in to the transducer.

WeatherSense™ Fishing Condition Monitor:

simply plugs in to the Matrix unit

and provides barometric pressure readout and trend data. Professional
fishermen know that barometric pressure impacts fish behavior and they
modify their tactics based on it. Now you can have access to barometric
pressure data in real time, right on the boat.

GPS Connection Cable:

adds GPS capability to the Matrix unit by connecting a

handheld or other NMEA* GPS-compatible device. GPS capability instantly turns
your Matrix into a Combo-Trackplotter to show position, breadcrumb trail and
waypoints on the big, easy-to-read screen, all with big, easy-to-use buttons that
handhelds do not offer. In addition, you can store up to 750 waypoints and 10
tracks inside the Matrix unit! 

PC Connect Cable:

links the Matrix unit to a PC to access product software

updates and new features from 

www.humminbird.com

. This accessory requires

the MSWindows-compatible HumminbirdPC™ software from our Website to
communicate with the Matrix unit. If you have upgraded to GPS, you can easily
enter, annotate and exchange fishing spots with friends and download them
into your Matrix unit using this cable. 

Be sure to check out our website 

www.humminbird.com

for additional new and

exciting accessories to grow your Matrix Fishing System!
