Operating Cannon on the Humminbird Control Head
Start/Adjust Bottom Tracking Mode
In Bottom Tracking Mode, the downrigger is designed to maintain the weight at a fixed distance above the bottom. In order to avoid
continuous weight adjustments due to minor changes in bottom depth and boat motion caused by wave action, you have the ability
to adjust the responsiveness of the weight.
NOTE: Bottom Tracking requires a transducer. Your Cannon must be connected to a Humminbird control head that is connected to a
transducer. If your control is not connected to a transducer, a separate sonar transducer attached to your downrigger is required to use
Bottom Tracking.
CAUTION: In order to keep the weight from touching or dragging on the bottom, make sure that the depth range selected is appropriate
for the amount of line on the Spool and the amount of blowback experienced during operation at the intended depth and selected offset
distance. When setting Bottom Tracking, the depth must not exceed the bottom depth of the area you are fishing and/or the length of
the line on your spool. Running out the line completely will result in back spooling or loss of line.
