Humminbird MEGA Live, Manual

Page: 8 / 75

2 Introduction
Cables: Your MEGA Live Imaging transducer comes with the cables required to connect
directly to your APEX or SOLIX fish finder. In addition to the cables permanently
attached to the transducer, this includes two extension cables (a 10' MEGA Live power
cable and a 20' Ethernet cable) to allow for quick-disconnect. To connect the Ethernet
to a HELIX control head, you will need to purchase an ethernet adapter cable.
NOTE: An ethernet switch (separate purchase required) can be used to connect your
MEGA Live Imaging transducer to multiple control heads. To purchase accessories for your
control heads, visit our Web site at
humminbird.com or contact Humminbird Technical
Support through our Help Center at https://humminbird-help.johnsonoutdoors.com/
hc/en-us .
Accessories: Additional recommended accessories include a Humminbird Heading
Sensor GPS Puck (and a Heading Sensor GPS Adapter cable for APEX and SOLIX
only), or a Minn Kota Heading Sensor connected to an i-Pilot Link trolling motor.
A dual mount plate (separate purchase), is required to use a MEGA 360 Imaging™
transducer with your MEGA Live Imaging TargetLock.
