To use a portable power pack, you install the batteries and then attach
the sonar unit to the power pack's bracket. Plug in the
power/transducer cable and you're ready to fish. The PPP-12 has a
quick-release mounting bracket built into the case.
Installing the Batteries
Open the case and lay it flat. (The latch is located below the handle.)
Insert eight "AA" size batteries into the battery adapter and place it in
the battery compartment. Slip the battery cover tabs into the slots in
the case wall, then close the battery cover with the thumb screw.
Install batteries in battery compartment (left).
Attach power cable, and route wires as shown (right).
Plug the cable's power (dog bone-shaped) connector into the socket on
the battery compartment cover. Route the cable's unit connector and
about 6 inches (15.2 cm) of cable through the opening under the sonar
mount. Close the case bottom, using the slot in the case wall to avoid
pinching the cable. Turn the unit over to mount the sonar.
CAUTION:
When using the sonar in a saltwater environment, we strongly
recommend that you unplug the power connector from the bat-
tery socket when the unit is not in use. When the unit is turned
off but still connected to a power supply, electrolysis can occur in
the power cable plug. This may result in corrosion of the plug
body along with the electrical contacts in the cable and the
unit's power socket.
Mounting the Unit
A quick-release mount is built into the top of the portable power pack. To
attach the unit, first plug in the cable connector. Then, hold the sonar unit
vertically and slide it onto the bracket from above. (The back of the unit
should be touching the front of the bracket as you lower it into position.)
As you push down, the unit will lock into place with a distinct click.
