Determining the Software Version in the Control Head
NOTE:
You must have an installed and functioning fishfinder to perform the following.
1. When you start up the control head, press the menu key while the Title Screen is displayed, select System Status
from the Start-up Menu, then press the VIEW button until you see Self Test.
2. Self Test will display the results of an internal diagnostic self test, including the software version. Make sure that
your control head software version is 2.100 or higher.
3. If you do need a software upgrade, it is available free of charge from the
www.humminbird.com
website. If you do
not have a way to access the Internet, you may contact the Customer Resource Center to obtain a CD-ROM with the
software upgrade you need for the cost of shipping and handling only.
4. You must use the PC Connect cable (separate purchase) to upload the software update from a PC to the control
head. Please refer to the instructions included with the separate-purchase PC Connect Cable.
Mounting the WSL Antenna
The WSL antenna installation kit includes the following items:
• WSL antenna with 20' (6 m) cable, including a pigtail connection for additional accessories
• Hardware kit (for stem- or deck-mounting, stem not included).
To optimize performance of the WSL, mount it in an area that will have direct line-of-sight to the water around the boat
where you will be casting the RSS. Different circumstances determine the mounting method appropriate for your WSL
antenna, but stem mounting is recommended because the higher the antenna is mounted, the better the line-of-sight will
be. You can also use one of the deck mounting procedures if the mounting area is on a high point on your boat.
Refer to the following table to find the mounting procedure that makes the most sense for your boat:
NOTE:
When drilling holes in fiberglass hulls, it is best to start with a smaller bit and use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the chance
of chipping or flaking the outer coating. Fill all drill holes with marine grade silicone sealant.
