WARNING!
This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water depth may change too
quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.
WARNING!
Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be performed by authorized service personnel. Any modification of the serial number or attempt to repair the
original equipment or accessories by unauthorized individuals will void the warranty. Handling and/or opening this unit may result in exposure to lead, in the form of solder.
WARNING!
This product contains lead, a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
User Modes
The PiranhaMax30 has two different user modes:
SmartCast™:
This user mode allows you to operate the PiranhaMax30 with an Advanced RSS.
Transducer:
This user mode allows you to operate the PiranhaMax30 with the Portable Mount Transducer.
Use the User Mode menu choice to change between these two user modes.
NOTE:
If a transducer is not connected to the PMax30 the unit will automatically default to SmartCast™ user mode. If a transducer is connected
then the PMax30 will default to the last mode used prior to powering off.
When “SmartCast” is displayed on the screen, the unit is in SmartCast™ mode.
Using the SmartCast™ User Mode
The SmartCast™ user mode allows you to use the Advanced Remote Sonar Sensor (RSS) wireless fishfinder that comes with your PiranhaMax. Simply
attach the RSS to the end of your fishing line and cast it into the water as you would a normal float or lure, then power on the PiranhaMax and you are
ready to fish. In SmartCast™ mode, your PiranhaMax uses sonar technology to send sound waves from the RSS into the water.
