Showdown 5.6 Features
ICE-MODE
Your Showdown 5.6 sonar offers exclusive
ICE MODE
, a feature unique to
Versa Electronics brand sonar units, which allows for operation in the
coldest conditions. With
ICE MODE
active, Showdown 5.6 triggers an internal
LCD heater that keeps the liquid crystals moving at their normal super high
speeds in sub-freezing temperatures. This means that anglers no longer have
to worry about their sonar “slowing down” due to freezing liquid crystal.
While this feature is called “
ICE MODE
”, you may find that your Showdown
performs better under a wide variety of conditions when in “
ICE MODE
”.
NOTE
: If your Showdown 5.6 is left in extreme cold for an extended time
period with the
POWER
turned
OFF
, allow one to two minutes for the Ice
Mode LCD heater to warm the crystals sufficiently after the
POWER
has been
turned
ON
and
ICE
Mode has been activated. After the
ICE
Mode LCD heater
has been running for an extended period, it is perfectly normal for the
Showdown 5.6 power-head to feel warm.
