FISHING WITH THE DOWNRIGGER
CONNECTING ThE CANNON TRANSDuCER
The Cannon Transducer (Item #1491072) is an optional accessory
available for your Optimum and Optimum TS downrigger. By
installing the Transducer, the Optimum is able to display water
depth and use the Bottom Track feature. Proper transducer
installation is critical to the performance of the Bottom Tracking feature. For best results, follow all mounting instructions included with
the Cannon Transducer carefully, before beginning the directions below, to connect the Transducer to the Optimum downrigger.
Once the Transducer is installed according to the provided instructions, route the Transducer Cable to your downrigger. When routing the
Transducer Cable give consideration to the following:
• Route the Transducer Cable in a way that will not cause damage
to the cable jacket.
• Keep the Transducer Cable away from ignition, tachometer,
alternator and other electrical wiring to prevent interference.
• Do not cut, splice or shorten the Transducer Cable. Coil the excess cable into a loop like a figure 8 and loosely secure it in place where
it will not be a tripping hazard or be damaged from external forces. Do not kink the cables.
• Connecting the Cannon Transducer to a Bluetooth enabled downrigger that is networked to one or more downriggers will make it the
Master downrigger. If a Master downrigger already exists in the downrigger network, connecting the transducer to any other downrigger
in the network, except for an existing Master downrigger will disrupt the network. See the "Connecting the Downrigger" section of these
instructions for more information on downrigger connectivity and Master downriggers.

NOTICE: Power to the Optimum should be turned
"off" before installing the Cannon Transducer.
NOTICE: The Transducer Cable should be
connected before the downrigger is powered "on".
WARNING
Cutting, splicing or shortening of the Transducer Cable,
including removing the connector, voids the product warranty.
b. Review the Transducer Cable routing
considerations above and route the Transducer
Cable in the boat so that is reaches the downrigger
following the guidelines provided.
c. Locate the Transducer Input on the bottom side
of the downrigger body. The Transducer Input is
located just to the left of where the Power Cable
exits the downrigger body. The Transducer Input is
covered by a tethered Cap to keep the downrigger
body water tight. Remove the Cap so that the
Transducer Cable from the Cannon Transducer can
be plugged in.
d. Examine the Transducer Input and the end of
the Transducer Cable coming from the Cannon
Transducer. Notice how the connection is
keyed. Align the keys and press the connection
firmly together.
