If you are having problems with the operation of your Buddy, please try the 
suggestions in this section.  Should all other remedies fail, please try using 

the reset settings feature (see page 8). 

Problem:  Unit won't turn on or won’t stay on. 

• 

Check the battery installation (see page 2). 

• 

Make sure that 

all three

 "C" alkaline batteries are still good. 

• 

Low batteries may not have enough voltage to run the night-light. 

• 

Make sure that the unit is operating within the temperature limits listed 

on page 13. 

Problem:  Unit beeps but the screen stays blank or black. 

• 

The screen may be black and just too hot to work at all.  In this case 

immediately cover the screen or turn it away from the sun. 

• 

The contrast may require adjustment.  First, make sure the Buddy is off 

(remove the batteries if you need to), then press the 

POWER

 button 

followed by the 

MENU

 button, and then use the 

 

and 

 

buttons to 

adjust the contrast. 

Problem:  Unit displays an error message.  

• 

Make sure that 

all three

 "C" alkaline batteries are still good. 

• 

If the message appears repeatedly, call our customer service number 

listed in the warranty on page 17.  

Problem:  No bottom is found. 

• 

Make sure the transducer is at least 8” deep in the water and in an area 

where no bubbles or turbulence are present (see page 4). 

• 

With your hand, rub the face of the transducer and clear off any air 
bubbles or debris (see Figure 5).
