NOTICE!

The storage and operation temperature range for your unit is from
-4 degrees to +167 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees to +75 degrees
Celsius). Extended storage or operation in temperatures higher or
lower than specified will damage the liquid crystal display in your
unit. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty. For more
information, contact the factory's Customer Service Department;
phone numbers are inside the manual's back cover.

Installation Preparations

You can install the sonar system in some other order if you prefer, but
we recommend this installation sequence:

Caution:

You should read over this entire installation section before
drilling any holes in your vessel!

1. Determine the approximate location for the sonar unit, so you can
plan how and where to route the cables for the transducer and power.
This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the
desired configuration.

2. Determine the approximate location for the transducer and its cable
route.

3. Determine the location of your battery or other power connection,
along with the power cable route.

4. Install the transducer and route the transducer cable to the sonar
unit.

5. Install the power cable and route it to the sonar unit.

6. Mount the sonar unit.
