Placing the Boot on the Unit
To insert the unit into the rubber boot, follow these steps:
1.
Guide the unit strap through the hole at the top of the boot (either right or left
side).
2.
Slide the unit into the top of the boot.
3.
Gently apply pressure to the bottom of the unit until it fully pops into the boot.
Removing the Boot from the Unit
Be sure that the bail is set in the open position before attempting to remove the boot.
Follow these steps:
1.
Apply pressure to the bottom two corners of the boot until the unit pops out.
2.
Wriggle the top section of the unit out of the boot.
3.

Using the Boot Strap and Bail
The boot strap is attached to the bail on the back of the boot. It can be used as a right- or
left-handed strap, or a finger strap. You can also connect the strap to a 4-point chest
harness for hands-free use.
The bail, including the straps, can be removed from the boot. This is useful when adding
accessories or locating the unit’s serial number. Simply open the bail and apply gentle
pressure to one side of the connector, which is located at the top of the bail. The piece
will pop off exposing the accessory mount (see below) and unit serial number.
Other Unit Features
Using the T/R 1 and T/R 2 Ports
On the top of the ECHO series units are two ports for transducer connectivity.
If you are using a dual element transducer, you may use either port—T/R 1 or T/R 2—
interchangeably. However, if you are using a single element transducer, plug the
connector into the T/R 1 port only.
Locating the USB Slot
The ECHO series units are furnished with a USB 2.0 slot on the top of the unit. Use the
USB slot to connect AC chargers or to connect to a computer for cross-functionality.
Using the Accessory Mount
On the back of the unit is a
¼
x 20 accessory mount. This connector point is compatible
with a multitude of accessories including a magnetic pipe attachment and a Gorilla Pod.
Locating the Altitude Change Release Regulator
At the bottom of the unit is a circular outline with small holes. This feature regulates
pressure due to altitude change. Any pressure built up inside the unit will be
automatically released.
