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.
