Possible causes Possible solutions
Geographic location or prevailing conditions
preventing satellite fix. Check to see if a fix is obtained in better
conditions or another geographic location.
GNSS (GPS) connection fault. Ensure that external GNSS (GPS) connections
and cabling are correct and fault free.
External GNSS (GPS) receiver in poor location
e.g.:
• Below decks.
• Close proximity to transmitting equipment,
such as a VHF radio.
Ensure GNSS (GPS) receiver has a clear view
of the sky.
GNSS (GPS) installation problem. Refer to the installation instructions supplied

Incorrect transducer selected Check that the correct transducer is selected in the Fishfinder app’s
Transducer tab: Menu > Settings > Transducer > Ping .
Damaged cables 1. Check that the transducer cable connector is fully inserted and
locked in position.
2. Check the power supply cable and connectors for signs of
damage or corrosion, replace if necessary.
3. With the unit turned on, try flexing the cable near to the display
connector to see if this causes the unit to re-boot/loose power,
replace if necessary.
4. Check the vessel’s battery voltage, the condition of the battery
terminals and power supply cables, ensuring connections are
secure, clean and free from corrosion, replace if necessary.
5. With the product under load, using a multi-meter, check for high
voltage drop across all connectors/fuses etc (this can cause the
Fishfinder applications to stop scrolling or the unit to reset/turn
off), replace if necessary.
Damaged or fouled
transducer Check transducer condition, ensuring it is not damaged and is free
from debris/fouling. If necessary, clean or replace your transducer.
After cleaning or replacement coat the transducer using a
water-based anti-fouling paint.
Wrong transducer fitted Check product and transducer documentation and ensure that the
transducer is compatible with your system.
