About Your New Showdown Dual Beam Digital Fish Finder 

Congratulations! Your new Showdown 5.6 Dual Beam Digital Fish Finder 
delivers unmatched performance and is the most intuitive and easy to use 
system on the market… the future of ice-fishing electronics is here!  With the 
Showdown 5.6 Dual Beam, you will catch more fish and have more fun. This 
is due in part to the simplicity of the ShowDown’s sonar presentation, as well 
as the user-friendliness of the interface. You will now spend more time actually 
fishing, and less time trying to figure out how to use and interpret what your 
sonar unit is showing you. 

Simply turn on your Showdown 5.6 Dual Beam, and immediately begin observ-
ing the action below.  The ShowDown’s Auto Depth Range feature means 
there’s no switching between various depth ranges. Nor will you have to guess 
at bottom or depth itself. The Showdown 5.6 Dual Beam immediately locks on 
to the proper depth range, while also displaying digital depth at all times. 

In addition to other standard features such as Adjustable Zoom, Sensitiv-
ity, Range, and Noise Reduction, your new Showdown 5.6 Dual Beam Also 
features the exclusive “Ice Mode,” which provides seamless sonar operation 
even in extremely cold conditions (down to at least -40°F).  Turning this feature 
on activates a heating element that keeps the internal liquid crystals moving at 
super-high speed. (Typical liquid crystal sonar units often freeze and delay the 
display speed under cold conditions). All these features combine into the most 
precise, yet simple-to-use sonar unit on the market. Thank you for making this 
purchase—you’ll be glad you did.
