General Information
T
hank you for choosing the Interphase Ultrascan
PC90 Dual-Axis Forward Scanning Sonar. The Ul-
trascan PC90 has been designed to work with your
on-board PC or PC Network and will display water
depth, bottom conditions, fish and other submerged
objects and debris, all on your computer’s high
resolution color display. If you already have an
Interphase scanning transducer installed on your
vessel, you can order a Ultrascan PC90 without a
transducer (see page 46).
To insure that you receive the maximum benefits
available from the many features of the Interphase
Ultrascan PC90, this manual includes a detailed guide
to the use and interpretation of the system’s modes
and displays. An instructive demonstration mode has
been designed into the Ultrascan PC90 to familiarize
you with the unit’s features. In addition, the Basic
Operation chapter gives you the necessary
information to get your system up and running as
quickly as possible. Please read the Installation
chapter carefully before attempting to install Ultras-
can PC90 on your vessel.

NAVIGATION WARNING
Nautical navigation is a critical element in
the safety and success of each open-water
boating experience and should only be
performed by experienced navigators.
While the Ultrascan PC90 product is a
useful navigation aid, it should never be
relied upon as the only means of
navigation. It is prudent to use more than
one proven instrument and more than one
accepted method in support of navigation
decisions.
