Maintenance
Your Humminbird fishfinder is designed to provide years of trouble free operation
with very little maintenance. Use the following procedures to ensure your
Humminbird continues to deliver top performance.
Control Head Maintenance
It is important to consider the following precautions when using your Humminbird
control head:
•
Chemicals,
such as those found in bug spray and sunscreen, may cause
permanent damage to the control head screen. Such damage is not covered
by the warranty.
•
NEVER leave the control head in a closed car or trunk.
The high temperatures
generated in hot weather can damage the electronics.
Use the following information to keep the control head and screen clean.
•
Screen:
To clean the control head screen, use a mild soap (such as a
nonabrasive liquid hand soap) and warm water. Wipe the screen dry with a
soft cloth. Be careful to avoid scratching the screen. If water spots remain,
use a solution of water and vinegar.
WARNING!
Do not use a chemical glass cleaner on the screen.
Chemicals in the
solution may cause cracking in the lens of the unit.
NOTE:
Do not wipe the screen while dirt or grease is on the screen.
•
Control Head:
If the control head comes into contact with salt spray, wipe the
affected surfaces with a cloth dampened with fresh water.
Transducer Maintenance
Use the following information to maintain the transducer operation.
• If your boat remains in the water for long periods of time, algae and other
marine growth can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically
clean the face of the transducer with a cloth dampened with fresh water.
• If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take
some time to wet the transducer when it is returned to the water. Small air
bubbles can climb to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper
operation. These bubbles dissipate with time, or you can wipe the face of the
transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.
MEGA Live Imaging Maintenance
Use the following information to maintain the installation of the MEGA Live Imaging
Transducer.
• Check the stability of the trolling motor mount after initial use and periodically
thereafter to ensure that the installation remains stable.
• If your boat will be in long-term storage, remove the MEGA Live Imaging
transducer and store it in –40°F to 158°F (–40°C to 70°C), dry conditions.
