Introduction

How Sonar Works

Your Humminbird ^® Fishing System comes in several different configurations. Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The Fishing System uses so. See the following list of products, all of which are covered by this manual, locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well find your 800/900 Series ^™ configuration: depth directly below the transducer.

- Humminbird® 859ci HD Combo: Wide screen Fishing System with DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar, Chartplotting, and an internal GPS Receiver

- Humminbird® 859ci HD DI Combo: Wide screen Fishing System with Down Imaging® Sonar, Traditional 2D Sonar, Chartplotting, and an internal GPS Receiver.

- Humminbird® 859ci HD XD Combo: Wide screen Fishing System with Xtreme Depth Sonar, Chartplotting, and an internal GPS Receiver.

- Humminbird® 899ci HD SI Combo: Wide screen Fishing System with Side Imaging® Sonar, DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar, Down Imaging® Sonar Chartplotting, and an internal GPS Receiver.

- Humminbird® 959ci HD Combo: Ultra wide screen Fishing System with DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar, Chartplotting, and an internal GPS Receiver.

- Humminbird® 959ci HD DI Combo: Ultra wide screen Fishing System with Down Imaging® Sonar, Traditional 2D Sonar, Chartplotting, and an internal GPS Receiver.

- Humminbird® 959ci HD XD Combo: Ultra wide screen Fishing System with Xtreme Depth Sonar, Chartplotting, and an internal GPS Receive

- Humminbird® 999ci HD SI Combo: Ultra wide screen Fishing System with Side Imaging® Sonar, DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar, Down Imaging® Sonar, Chartplotting, and an internal GPS Receiver.

Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a dept 240 ft (70 m) and back again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlike your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal.

SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAVigation Ranging. Sonar utilizes precision sound pulses or "pings" which are emitted into the water in a teardrop-shaped beam.

The sound pulses "echo" back from objects in the water such as the bottom, fish and other submerged objects. The returned echoes are displayed on the LCD screen. Each time a new echo is received, the old echoes are moved across the LCD, creating a scrolling effect.

When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret "graph" of the bottom, fis and structure appears.

The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar transmitter. It is commonly measured using two methods:

• Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over the entire transmit cycle.
• Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest points.

The benefits of increased power output are the ability to detect smaller targets at greater distances, ability to overcome noise, better high speed performance and enhanced depth capability.

The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are used for greatest definition, but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to achieve greater depth capability.

60 Degree Total Coverage

Bottom Coverage = 1 x Depth

DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar

(DualBeam PLUS™ models only [859ci HD, 899ci HD SI, 959ci HD, & 999ci

The 859ci HD/959ci HD Combo and 899ci HD SI/999ci HD SI Combo Fishing Systems use a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS™ sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center beam, surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to an area equal to your depth. In 20 feet of water, the wider beam covers an area 20 feet wide.

DualBeam PLUS™ sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately, or compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUS™ is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh salt water. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation.

75 Degree Total Coverage

Bottom Coverage = 1 x Depth

Down Imaging® Sonar

(Down Imaging ^® models only [859ci HD DI and 959ci HD DI])

The 859ci HD DI/959ci HD DI Combo Fishing System uses Down Imaging® technology. The Down Imaging® transducer scans the water with razor-thin, high-definition beams. The beams are wide (side to side) but very thin front to back.

The Down Imaging® beams can be operated at two frequencies: 455 kHz (75°) or 800 kHz (45°). Select 455 kHz for the best overall image quality and depth. Select 800 kHz for the sharpest image. See Down Imaging® X-Press™ Menu: Imaging Frequency for more information.

The transducer also uses conical beams to provide data in traditional 2D format (see What's on the Sonar View). Select 455 kHz for a narrow focused 16° center beam, or select 200 kHz for a wider 28° beam (see Menu Tab: Beam Select).

Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation.

High Definition Side Imaging® Sonar

(Side Imaging ^® models only [899ci HD SI and 999ci HD SI only])

The 899ci HD SI/999ci HD SI Combo Fishing System uses Side Imaging® sonar to provide a wide yet precise survey of a large area of water, including detailed bottom topography and fish-attracting structure orientation. The Side Imaging® transducer returns are processed into an image similar to an aerial photograph.

Typically, the Side Imaging ^® sonar can search an area that is 480 feet wide (240 to each side), with a typical depth performance of 150 feet when the Side Imaging ^® Sonar frequency is set for 455 kHz. Selecting 800 kHz (999ci HD SI only) produces the sharpest image, but the search area to each side and the depth capability are limited as compared to the 455 kHz frequency. See What's on the Side Imaging ^® Display and Understanding Side Imaging ^® for more information.

The Side Imaging ^® transducer also provides Down Imaging ^® views on the screen, with the same depth limitation of 100 feet. See What's on the Down Imaging ^® Display for more information.

74 Degree Total Coverage

Two concentric circles with no text or symbols, no visible text or symbols.

Xtreme Depth Sonar

(Xtreme Depth Series™ models only [859ci HD XD and 959ci HD XD])

The 859ci HD XD/959ci HD XD Combo Fishing System uses the XD transducer to provide extreme depth coverage with DualBeam PLUS™ technology.

The Xtreme Depth sonar beams can be operated at two frequencies: 50 kHz (74°) and 200 kHz (20°). The wide, 50 kHz beam transmits at a low frequency to provide greater depth coverage, up to 2500 ft (762 m). The narrow, 200 kHz center beam transmits at a high frequency to provide maximum detail at shallower depths.

The DualBeam PLUS™ technology allows you to view the sonar returns blended together, separately, or side-by-side (see Sonar Menu Tab: Beam Select and Views for more information).

Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation.

90° Total Coverage
Bottom Coverage=2 x Depth

QuadraBeam PLUS™ Sonar

(with optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer)

QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar provides a wide 90° area of coverage.

QuadraBeam PLUS™ starts with two fan-shaped 35° 455 kHz Side Structure locating sonar beams to spot fish, bait, and structure to the left and right of boat over an area of the bottom that's always equal to twice your depth.

For a detailed view below the boat, QuadraBeam PLUS™ uses DualBeam PLUS™ technology, with precision 20° and wide 60° beams. QuadraBeam PLUS™ finds more fish faster, and can even tell you where to put your bait by showing if fish are to the left, right, or directly beneath your boat.

NOTE: Contact our Customer Resource Center to determine which accessory transducers are compatible with your Humminbird™ Fishing System, or visit our Web site athumminbird.com.

Universal Sonar 2

(compatible w/optional-purchase Minnkota trolling motors)

Your Fishing System supports Universal Sonar 2, a state-of-the-art, integrated and protected transducer that is built into the lower unit of Minnkota trolling motors. With Universal Sonar 2, all wiring is concealed inside the indestructible composite shaft—out of sight and out of harm's way, with no clamps, ties, or exposed wires. Universal Sonar 2 features temperature sensing and the performance of DualBeam PLUS™ technology (available with all Humminbird® DualBeam PLUS™ models). An expanded view and greater bottom detail gives you a totally new perspective of the water below, along with optimal sonar performance to help you find fish

How GPS and Cartography Work

Your Fishing System also supports GPS (Global Positioning System) and chartplotting. It uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display i a grid, and provide detailed underwater information.

Diagram of Earth surrounded by a globe with orbital lines and satellite constellations (no text or labels)

GPS uses a constellation of satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. The GPS receiver receives signals from satellites that are visible to it. Based on time differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position. With 5 updates per second, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.

GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 4.5 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 4.5 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.

The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the Fishing System:

• View current position
• View current track (breadcrumbs trail)
• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver
- Save tracks, waypoints, and routes
- Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next.

What's on the Sonar Display

The Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about the area under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items:

① Depth - Water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too ⑤ A/mage - Power supplied to the control head.

② Timer - Elapsed time with Speed accessory or GPS Receiver. ⑥ Temperature - Water surface temperature.

3 Distance - Distance traveled with Speed accessory or GPS Receiver.

4 Average Speed - Average speed reading with Speed accessory or GPS

7 Speed - If a Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is connected, cursor information is displayed at the top of the Fishing System can display the speed of the boat, and the screen. can keep a trip log of nautical or statute miles traveled.

Understanding the Sonar Display

It is important to understand the significance of the display. The display does NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time. As both the boat and the targets (fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing a particular segment of time when objects were detected, not exactly where those objects are in relation to other objects shown on the display.

The returned sonar echoes are displayed on the screen. As a new echo received, the historical data scrolls left across the display.

Real Time Sonar (RTS™) Window

A Real Time Sonar (RTS™) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar Views. The RTS Window™ always updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom structure and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS Window plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return. (See Sonar Menu Tab Time Sonar (RTS™) Window).

The Narrow RTS Window™ indicates the sonar intensity through the use of colors. Red indicates a strong return and blue indicates a weak return. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth is scale.

The Wide RTS Window™ indicates the sonar intensity through the use of a bar graph. The length of the plotted return provides an indication of whether the return is weak or strong. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale.

Sonar Colors and Bottom View

As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The Sonar View displays the sonar return intensity with different colors.

Strong returns often result from rocky or hard bottoms (compacted sediment, rocks, fallen trees), while weaker returns often result from soft bottoms (sand, mud), vegetation, and small fish.

The colors used to represent high, medium, to low intensity returns are determined by the palette you choose in the Sonar Colors menu option. See Sonar Menu Tab to set the Sonar Colors.

Sonar View: Original Palette

① Sonar History: Historical returns scroll left across the view.

② Strong Returns (possibly rocks, tree limbs, or other structure)

③ Weak Returns (possibly vegetation or small fish)

4 Strong Return (possibly compacted sediment or rocks)

5 RTS Window™

Use Bottom View to select the method used to represent bottom and structure on the display. See Sonar Menu to set the Bottom View.

Structure ID™ represents weak returns in blue and strong returns in resSwitchFire®

when Sonar Colors is set to Original. If the Sonar Colors palette is ch the Structure ID™ will display the strongest return as specified by the palette. See Sonar Menu Tab: Sonar Colors for more information.

WhiteLine™ highlights the strongest sonar returns in white, resulting in distinctive outline. This has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom or display.

SwitchFire® controls how the sonar returns are displayed in the Sonar Views. SwitchFire® settings are available in the Sonar Menu Tab.

To see the maximum sonar information available within the transducer be so more fish arches and better jig tracking are shown, choose Max Mod

To see less clutter and more fish size accuracy interpreted from the transducer beam, choose Clear Mode. See Sonar Menu Tab: SwitchFire® for more information.

Freeze Frame and Active Cursor

Freeze Frame & Active Cursor - Press any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key, and the screen will freeze and a cursor will be displayed. 4-WAY Cursor Control key to move the cursor over a sonar return, and depth of the sonar return will be displayed at the top of the screen in cursor dialog box.

The RTS Window™ continues to update in Freeze Frame. To return to a scrolling display and exit Freeze Frame, press the EXIT key. Freeze Frame available in the Sonar, Split Sonar, and Sonar Zoom Views.

Instant Image Update

Instant Image Update - You can change a variety of sonar menu settin (such as Sensitivity or Upper Range), and the adjustments will be shown instantly on the screen.

What's on the Side Imaging® Display Imaging® models only [899ci HD SI and 999ci HD SI])

Side Imaging ^® displays a number of easily recognizable features that allow for accurate interpretation of bottom contour and structure. For Side Imaging ^® , the bottom composition determines the intensity of the sonar return. For example, rock and gravel provide a clearer sonar return than mud and sand because of their relative density. Upward slopes that face the transducer reflect sonar better than downward slopes that face away from the transducer. You can find a number of easily recognizable features on the Side Imaging ^® display that allow for accurate interpretation of bottom contour and structure, including the following items:

8 Water column - Shows the relative depth of the water under the boat at a given time. Variations in the width of the water column show variations in the distance to the bottom as the boat passes over.
9 Shadows - Result from a lack of reflected sonar from a particular area and can be more valuable for interpretation than the sonar reflected by the object itself. Use shadows to help you see the image in 3 dimensions, oriented in space. You can gain insight into the actual shape of an object, or the depth to which it has sunk into the bottom, through shadows on the display. Objects standing on the bottom cast a sonar shadow. The longer the shadow, the taller the object, Fish also cast shadows. You can use the shadow to interpret how close the fish is to the bottom.
Topography Changes - The light part of the screen shows where the beam is hitting hard bottom or rising terrain. The dark part of the screen indicates soft bottom (sand, mud) or descending terrain.
⑪ Bottom Return
Side Imaging ^® Range - Images shown on the right side of the screen are located on the right side of your boat, and images shown on the left side of the screen are located on the left side of your boat. In this illustration, the sonar is pinging 148 feet on each side.
Top of the Display - Information from the side beams are displayed at the top of the screen. As new information is received, the historical data scrolls down the screen. For the most current information, watch the top of the screen.
14 Freeze Frame & Zoom - Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to move the cursor to an area on the screen, and press the ZOOM+ key to see the sonar returns in greater detail.
15 Clouded Area - May indicate a bait ball and White Streaks may indicate fish.

Understanding the Side Imaging® Display

It is important to understand how Side Imaging® technology produces the display. The images you see on the display are produced using sonar technology. The special transducer projects three distinct beams — one beam facing down and two beams pointing out to the side.

• Down Beam is aimed directly below the boat and provides conical coverage.
• Side Beams are aimed at right angles to the path of the boat. The side beam coverage is very thin from front to back, yet very wide top to bottom. The narrow aspect (front to back) of the beam illuminates a small strip of the bottom perpendicular to the direction of the boat.

Side Imaging® Representation

As the unit pings, a strip of data is displayed at the top of the Side Imaging ^® view.

Each time the unit pings, a strip of data representing all the echo received by the transducer are put together on the display to form the image that you see.

The rows closest to the boat icon at the top of the view are the most recent sonar data. The information is scrolled down the screen as new data, drawn at the top of the screen, becomes available.

The main benefit of Side Imaging® sonar to anglers is that it provides a overall survey of a large area of water. This gives you a better understanding of the bottom topography and how structure is oriented for more efficient fishing.

Saltwater anglers pick up precise details of popular fishing structure like wrecks, reefs, humps and drop-offs, as well as being able to spot bait in open water. Freshwater anglers can see fish-attracting structure such timber, stumps, rocks and creek beds.

SideImaging®FrequenciesandCoverage

Side Imaging® sonar uses two very precise sonar beams that are directed to either side of the boat. The beams "illuminate" the bottom contour, structure, and fish, and the results are displayed in a "picture-like" image on the screen.

• 899ci HD SI Frequencies: The side beams are operated at 455 kHz. Your Side Imaging® transducer also provides DualBeam PLUS™ at 200/83 kHz.
• 999ci HD SI Frequencies: The side beams can be operated at one of two frequencies: 455 kHz or 800 kHz. Your Side Imaging® transducer also provides DualBeam PLUSTM at 200/83 kHz. Selecting 800 kHz produces the sharpest image, while selecting 455 kHz provides greater bottom coverage area.
• Side Imaging® Beams are extremely narrow from front to back, and provide "thin slices" of the bottom for high resolution imaging.
• Side Imaging® Range: 240 feet to each side, with a total side coverage of 480 feet, with a depth limitation of 150 feet, depending on the contour of the bottom and when the side beam frequency selection is set to 455 kHz.

455 kHz provides maximum coverage with 180° total beam width

800 kHz provides highest resolution with 130° total beam width (999ci HD SI)

For Best Performance

Use the following tips and examples to help you interpret the Side Image display.

Side Imaging® Tips

Boat speed: 2 to 6 mph

Straight line navigation

Minimum turning time and wave turbulence

Beam Coverage: When there is an area directly under the boat that do have SI beam coverage, this area will be covered by the standard 200/8 down-looking beam and displayed in the Sonar views. The net effect of on the display, is that a single object may appear as two separate entities when in reality, it is one continuous object. See Submerged Bridge: A

Perspective and the Submerged Bridge: Alternative Perspective illustrations for examples of this.

See humminbird.com for a side imaging sonar tutorial and additional information.

Boat speed: Side Imaging ^® is best performed at boat speeds between 2 to 6 mph. If the boat is stationary, the same information is displayed over and over. If the boat is moving very quickly, there will be gaps between the strips of information. The best boat speed to use will depend on the side range selected. Slower speeds are good for longer ranges, while faster speeds can be used at shorter ranges.

Boat navigation: It is important to understand that when the boat turns, successive beam strips to one side will begin to overlap and the strips on the other side will fan out, providing some distortion to the image. Because of this, the best imaging performance is produced by straight line navigation and minimal side-to-side boat motion (i.e. wave induced, etc.) This applies to navigation by either the main engine or the trolling motor. Minimize turning time and avoid wave action that induces large side-to-side rocking of the boat. For example, if there is a lot of wave activity, try to move the boat so that it is perpendicular to the waves instead of parallel with the waves in order to minimize the side-to-side rocking of the boat.

What's on the Down Imaging® Display HD DI, 959ci HD DI, 899ci HD SI, and 999ci HD SI only)

Down Imaging ^® uses unique sonar technology to provide information about the area directly below your boat. The razor-thin, high-definition profiling beams produce the detailed sonar data that you see on the display. Down Imaging ^® reveals a variety of recognizable features so that you can interpret the structure and bottom contour, including the following items:

8 Structure

7 Speed - If a GPS Receiver or Temp/Speed accessory is connected, the Fishing System can display the speed of the boat and can keep a Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled.
9 Shadows - Result from a lack of reflected sonar from a particular area and can be as valuable for interpretation than the sonar reflected by the object itself. Use shadows to help you see the image in 3 dimensions, oriented in space. You can gain insight into the actual shape of an object, or the depth to which it has sunk into the bottom, through shadows on the display. Objects standing on the bottom cast a sonar shadow. The longer the shadow, the taller the object. Fish also cast shadows. You can use the shadow to interpret how close the fish is to the bottom.
Topography Changes - The light part of the display shows where the beam is hitting hard bottom or rising terrain. The dark part of the display indicates soft bottom (sand, mud) or descending terrain.
1 Bottom Return - Use the appearance of the bottom return to determine bottom hardness. Rock and gravel provide a clearer sonar return than mud and sand because hard objects reflect sonar better than soft objects.
⑫ Freeze Frame & Zoom - Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to move the cursor to an area on the screen, and press the ZOOM+ key to see the sonar returns in greater detail.
⑬ Clouded Area may indicate a bait ball and White Streaks may indicate fish.

NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if either device is connected to the 800/900 Series™ Fishing System. If both devices are connected, then only the information from the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view.

Understanding the Down Imaging® Display

The images you see on the Down Imaging ^® display are produced using sonar technology. Each time the unit pings, a strip of data representing all the echoes received by the transducer are put together on the display to form the image that you see. Like traditional 2D Sonar, the sonar history scrolls left across the screen. Fre

Interpreting the Display

Down Imaging ^® beams "illuminate" the bottom contour, structure, and The beams are wide (side to side) but very thin front to back.

Use the light and dark parts of the display to interpret the objects of boat as follows:

• Dark shades represent soft returns (mud, sand) or descending terrain.
• Light shades represent denser terrain (timber, rocks) or rising terrain. A very hard bottom may appear as white on the display.
• White Streaks or Clouds may represent fish on the display.
• Shadows are not caused by light but by the lack of a sonar return. Objects standing on the bottom cause a sonar shadow to appear on the display. The longer the shadow, the taller the object. Fish may also cast shadows. You can use the shadow to interpret where the fish or object is located in relation to the bottom.

Down Imaging® Sensitivity

Use Down Sensitivity to control how the sonar returns appear on the display. Increase the sensitivity to reveal weaker returns that may be of interest, especially in very clear water or greater depths. Decrease the sensitivity to eliminate the clutter from the display that is sometimes pre in murky or muddy water. See the Down Imaging ^® X-Press ^™ Menu information.

Freeze Frame and Active Cursor

Freeze Frame and Active Cursor - Press any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key, and the screen will freeze and a cursor will be displayed. U-4-WAY Cursor Control key to move the cursor over a sonar return, and depth of the sonar return will be displayed in the cursor dialog box.

Introduction to Navigation

Your Fishing System allows you to mark waypoints and start navigation w the control head keys or the Navigation X-Press™ Menu.

You can also use the Waypoint Management dialog box to create new waypoints and routes from scratch. You can edit your navigation data and organize it too. This section will get you started. See your Humminbird® Waypoint Management Guide for complete details.

Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest navigation points. Your Fishing System can store up to 2,750 waypoints.

Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for naviga are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by the GOTO key. Your Fishing System can store up to 45 routes that can contain up to 50 waypoints.

A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should always out for obstacles not shown on the chart. A Route Leg is the path between each waypoint in a route. The color of each route leg is displayed as f

• Completed Route Leg = Gray.
- Current Route Leg = Green.
• Future Route Leg = Gold.

Tracks consist of detailed position history and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position his since the unit was powered up. You can clear the Current Track or save any time. Your Fishing System can store up to 50 saved tracks, each containing 20,000 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual pa so far.

Sensitivity at High

NOTE: The Sensitivity setting is a global setting and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar frequencies.

Upper Range sets the shallowest depth range that will be displayed on Sonar, Split Sonar, and Active Sonar Side Views. Upper Range is often adjusted lower range.

For example, if you are only interested in the area between 20 and 50 feet deep, you should set the Upper Depth Range to 20 and the Lower Depth Range to 50. The Sonar View will then show the 30 foot area between 20 and 50, and will not show the surface or the bottom (assuming the bottom is deeper than 50 feet), and will show greater detail for that area between 20 and 50 feet.

NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered.

The available Upper Range settings are determined by your Humminbird® model as follows:

• 859ci HD/959ci HD: 0 to 1490 ft, 0 to 497 m (International Model only); Default = 0
• 859ci HD DI/959ci HD DI: 0 to 1490 ft, 0 to 497 m (International Models only); Default = 0

Chart Speed

Settings: 1 to 10, where 1 = Slow, 10 = Fastest; Default = 5

Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown.

A faster speed shows more information and is preferred by most angler: however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slow speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless the Chart Speed setting, the RTS Window ^™ will update at the maximum possible for the depth conditions.

Quad Layout

(with optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ Transducer, Side Beam View only)

Settings: Default, Classic, Slanted, Default = Default

Quad Layout allows you to choose how sonar information is displayed in Side Beam View. The Side Beam View displays sonar data from the left right 455 kHz beams, as well as the 200 kHz down-looking beam. The s data can be displayed in any of the following layouts by changing the Layout setting: Default, Classic, and Slanted. See Views: Side Beam View for more information.

NOTE: Quad Layout is only available when an optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer is attached and the Side Beam View is active (see Sonar Menu Tab: Connected Transducer).

Bottom Lock

(Sonar Zoom View only)

Settings: Off, On; Default = Off

Bottom Lock changes the mode of the zoomed view in the Sonar Zoom View. Bottom Lock continuously graphs the bottom at a constant point of the display regardless of changes in depth. This "flattens" out the bottom contour but is effective at showing fish on or near the bottom.

Bottom Range

(Sonar Zoom View only, when Bottom Lock is Settings: 10 to 60 feet, 2 to 10 fathoms, or 3 to meters [International Models only]; Default = 15 feet

Bottom Range allows you to control how much of the water column, measured up from the bottom, is shown in the Sonar Zoom View. Choose a small value to see low-lying bottom structure or details of the bottom return. Choose a larger value to see large structure in deeper water.

NOTE: It is possible to set the Bottom Range to be greater than the depth. In this case, you may see surface clutter in a wavy band that mirrors changes in the depth.

Surface Clutter

Settings: Low = 1 to High = 10; Default = 5

Surface Clutter adjusts the filter that removes surface clutter noise caused by algae and aeration. The lower the setting, the less surface clutter will be displayed.

SwitchFire®

Settings: Clear Mode, Max Mode; Default = Clear Mode

SwitchFire® controls how the sonar returns are displayed in the Sonar View

Choose Max Mode to see only raw sonar returns on the display. When M Mode is selected, you will see the maximum sonar information available with the transducer beam, so more fish arches and better jig tracking are shown

Choose Clear Mode to see less clutter and more fish size accuracy on the display. When Clear Mode is selected, the clutter is filtered, and sonar returns are interpreted to provide more details about the objects within the transducer beam, regardless of their location. In other words, a large arch of the display means a large fish has been detected.

Fish ID+TM

Settings: Off, On; Default = Off

Fish ID+™ uses advanced signal processing to interpret sonar returns and will display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. When of the fish is detected, a fish icon and its depth are displayed above the return that has been classified as being a fish. Three different fish size icons represent the intensity of the sonar return and provide an indicator of relative fish size.

In DualBeam PLUSTM models (859ci HD, 959ci HD, 899ci HD SI, and 999ci HD SI), targets detected in the 200 kHz narrow beam are represented as orange fish symbols, and targets detected in the 83 kHz wide beam are represented as blue fish symbols.

Narrow beam Orange Fish Symbols

Wide beam Blue Fish Symbols

In Down Imaging ^® models (859ci HD DI and 959ci HD DI), targets detected in the 455 kHz conical beam are represented as blue fish symbols, and detected in the 200 kHz conical beam are represented as orange fish s

In the Xtreme Depth models (859ci HD XD and 959ci HD XD), targets detected in the 200 kHz narrow beam are represented as orange fish symbols and targets detected in the 50 kHz wide beam are represented by blue fish symbols.

When Fish ID+TM is turned off, the Fishfinder shows only the raw sonar returns as fish. returns on the display. These returns will often result in "arches" forming on

the display, indicating potential targets. Due to the transducer beam and the distance to a fish decreases as the fish moves into the beam, and increases as it moves out again, creating a Fish Arch when this distance change is shown on the display. Boat speed, chart speed, and the posit of the fish within the sonar beam greatly affect the shape of the arch.

Transducer Cone and Fish Arches

Fish ID Sensitivity adjusts the threshold of the Fish ID+™ detection targets algorithms. Selecting a higher setting allows weaker returns to be displayed as fish. This is useful for identifying smaller fish species or baitfish. Select a lower setting displays fewer fish from weak sonar returns. This is helped when seeking larger species of fish.

Noise Filter

(Advanced)

Settings: Off, Low, Medium, High 1, High 2, High 3; Default = Low

Noise Filter adjusts the sonar Noise Filter to limit interference on the disp from sources such as your boat engine, turbulence, or other sonar devices

The Off setting removes all filtering. Low, Medium, and High 1, High 2, H 3 settings add progressive filtering of the sonar returns. High 1, High 2,

High 3 are useful when there is excessive trolling motor noise, but in some deep water situations, the High settings may actually hinder your unit's ability to find the bottom.

Max Depth

(Advanced)

Settings: Various, see below.

Max Depth controls the maximum depth of operation. When Max Depth not to Auto, the Fishing System will acquire bottom readings as needed (within the capacity of the unit). When Max Depth is set to match your fishing maximum depth, your Fishing System will not attempt to acquire some data below that depth, so more detail will be shown on the scre

NOTE: If the bottom is deeper than the Max Depth setting, the digital depth readout will flash, indicating that the Fishfinder cannot locate the bottom.

• 859ci HD/959ci HD: Auto to 1500 ft, Auto to 500 m (International Models only); Default = Auto
• 859ci HD DI/959ci HD DI: Auto to 1500 ft, Auto to 500 m (International Models only); Default = Auto
• 899ci HD SI/999ci HD SI: Auto to 1500 ft, Auto to 500 m play{International Models only}; Default = Auto
  • 859ci HD XD/959ci HD XD: Auto to 3280 ft, Auto to 1000 m

high(International Models only); Default = Auto

eMax Depth controls the down beam reading. The SI Range (Side Imaging® Range) controls the side beams and down beam reading at the same time. If SI Range is set to a deeper range than the Max Depth setting, your 899ci HD SI Combo or 999ci HD SI Combo will default to the SI Range setting. For example, if you set the Max Depth to 50 feet and then set the SI Range to 150 feet, your unit will acquire bottom readings from 150 feet (see Side Imaging® X-Press™ Menu: SI Range).

Water Type

(Advanced)

Settings: Fresh, Salt (shallow), Salt (deep);

Default = Fresh

Water Type configures your unit for operation in fresh or salt water. In water, you can also choose the shallow or deep setting. The Water Type menu option is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Main Menu: User Mode).

NOTE: Make sure that the Water Type is set accurately, especially in salt water as this affects the accuracy of deep water depth readings. In salt water, what would be considered a large fish might be 2 to 10 times bigger than a large in fresh water (depending on the type of fish you are seeking). The salt water setting allows for a greater range in fish size adjustment to account for this difference.

Digital Depth Source

(Advanced, Down Imaging ^® models with optional-purchase transducers only [859ci HD

DI and 959ci HD DI)

Settings: Auto, 2D Element; Default = Auto

Digital Depth Source specifies the beams that will be used to provide the depth for the digital depth readouts (see Views and Setup Menu Tab: Select Readouts for more information). It is important to set this menu option based on the transducer that is connected to the control head, as follows:

- If a Down Imaging ^ transducer is connected to the control head, select Auto. Depending on the depth, Auto will automatically choose the 2D conical beams or the Down Imaging ^ beams to display dept in the digital readout window. Auto is the default setting.

- If an accessory transducer is connected to the control head, select 2D Element. For example, if you connect an ice transducer to your Down Imaging® unit, change the digital depth source to 2D Element in order to display depth in the digital readout window. The 2D Element setting should not be used with a Down Imaging® transducer.

NOTE: Visit our Web site at humminbird.com to determine which accessory transducers are compatible with your Humminbird® Fishing System, or Contact our Customer Resource Center.

Maintenance

Your Humminbird ^® fishfinder is designed to provide years of trouble free operation with very little maintenance. Use the following procedures to ensure your Humminbird ^® continues to deliver top performance.

Control Head Maintenance

It is important to consider the following precautions when using your Humminbird® control head:

• Chemicals, such as those found in bug spray and sunscreen, may cause permanent damage to the control head screen. Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
• NEVER leave the control head in a closed car or trunk. The high temperatures generated in hot weather can damage the electronics.

Use the following information to keep the control head and screen clean.

- Screen: To clean the control head screen, use a mild soap (such as a non-abrasive liquid hand soap) and warm water. Wipe the screen dry with a soft cloth. Be careful to avoid scratching the screen. If water spots remain, use a solution of water and vinegar.

WARNING! Do not use a chemical glass cleaner on the screen.

Chemicals in the solution may cause cracking in the lens of the unit.

NOTE: Do not wipe the screen while dirt or grease is on the screen.

- Control Head: If the control head comes into contact with salt spray, wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth dampened with fresh water.

Transducer Maintenance

Use the following information to maintain the transducer operation.

- If your boat remains in the water for long periods of time, algae a other marine growth can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically clean the face of the transducer with a mild, marine-safe and plastic-safe soap or solution.

NOTE: To clean the transducer, you may need to pivot the transducer up in th bracket.

- If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it take some time to wet the transducer when it is returned to the water. Small air bubbles can climb to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper operation. These bubbles dissipate with time, or you can wipe the face of the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting the Humminbird® Customer Resource Center, please re the following section. Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines may allow you to solve a performance problem yourself, and therefore avoid sending your unit back for repair.

Fishing System Doesn't Power Up

If your Fishing System doesn't power up, use the Installation Guide that also comes with it for specific confirmation details, making sure that:

• the power cable is properly connected to the control head
• the power cable is wired correctly, with red to positive battery terminal and black to negative terminal or ground
• the fuse is operational
• the battery voltage of the power connector is at least 10 Volts.

Correct any known problems, including removing corrosion from the battery terminals or wiring, or actually replacing the battery if necessary.

Fishing System Defaults to Simulator with a Transducer Attached

A connected and functioning transducer will cause the newly-started Fishing System to go into Normal operating mode automatically. If, when you power up the Fishing System, it goes into Simulator mode automatic even though a transducer is already connected, this means that the conhead is not detecting the transducer. Perform the following troubleshooting tasks:

• Using the Installation Guide that also comes with your Fishing System, check to make sure that the transducer cable is securely connected to the Fishing System. Reconnect if necessary, and power up the Fishing System again to see if this fixes the problem.
• Replace the non-functioning transducer with a known good transducer if available and power up the control head again.
• Check the transducer cable. Replace the transducer if the cable is damaged or corroded.

Display Problems

There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may cause problems with the quality of the information displayed on the control head. Look in the following table for some symptoms of display problems and possible solutions:

Problem Possible Cause

The control head loses power at high speeds.

If the power output of your boat's engine is unregulated, the control head may be protecting itself its over-voltage protection feature. Make sure the input voltage does not exceed 20 Volts.

When the boat moves at higher speeds the bottom disappears or suddenly weakens, or the display contains gaps.

3, The transducer position may need to be adjusted. A mix of air and water flowing around the trans (cavitation) may be interfering with the interpretation of sonar data. See your Installation Guide for suggestions on adjusting the transducer position.

Electrical noise from the boat's engine may be interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the Cause of Noise for more information.

There are no fish detected, even when you know they are in the water under the boat, or sonar readings seem weak or faulty.

Sonar readings may be affected if the transducer is not positioned correctly (i.e. mounted at an ang not straight down), or there is some kind of mechanical interference, either because it is mounted in a hull that is too thick for proper sonar transmission, the bond between the transducer and the hub not airtight, or because the transducer is dirty. Check with your Installation Guide for guidance on the positioning the transducer, and make sure the transducer is clean.

Low battery voltage may be affecting the power of signal transmission.

Electrical noise from the boats engine may be interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the Cause of Noise for more information.

Finding the Cause of Noise

Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds, and high sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause noise or interference:

Possible Source of Noise Isolation

Other electronic devices	Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if the problem goes away, then turn them on one a to see if the noise re-appears.
The boat's engine	To determine whether the boat's engine is the source of the noise, increase the RPMs while the b is in neutral and stationary to see if the noise increases proportionately; if noise appears when you the engine, the problem could be the spark plugs, alternator, or tachometer wiring. Replace the spa plugs with resistor plugs, install an alternator filter, or route the control head power and transducer cables away from the engine wiring.
Cavitation from the boat's propeller	Turbulence created by the propeller can cause noise; make sure the transducer is mounted at least (38 cm) from the propeller, and that the water flows smoothly over the face of the transducer at

Glossary

Sonar Terms

Beam (Sonar Beam) The wide, cone-shaped projection of sound waves formed as sound travels underwater. Scone Angle.

Bottom Contour The profile of the bottom graphed to the display as the depth changes.

Bottom Hardness The density (or composition) of the bottom. Varying levels of hardness can be determined by interpreting the "thickness" of the main sonar rett. Hard returns appear thin and black, softer returns appear thicker and less black. I important to note that a sonar return from a sloping bottom can have the appearance of a softer bottom.

Cavitation The effect of air bubbles created as the propeller rotates and the boat moves through the water.

Cone Angle The angular measurement of the sonar beam at a specific dB down point (i.e. -10 dB). SelB Down Point.

Dead Zone The area of the sonar beam that receives the sonar signal after the bottom return. Fish and other objects close to the bottom that fall within the deal will probably not be visible in the sonar beam. Precision sonar beams, such as the Humminbird® 20° beam, have a smaller dead zone than wider sonar beams.

Decibel The measurement for sound pressure level, or "intensity" of the sonar ret. See dB Down Point.

dB Down Point The standard decibel level at which the sonar cone angle is measured, and is written as "@ -10 dB" or "@ -3 dB". Measurements at smaller points (bigger negative numbers) indicate that the less intensive sonar signals are being used for the measurement.

Display, FSTN (Film Super-Twist Nematic) FSTN is a monochrome display technology characterized by black, high-contrast pixels. All monochrome fixed mour Humminbird® products use FSTN technology.

Frequency A measure of the number of sound wave cycles per second of a sound impulse transmitted underwater. A typical frequency for fishfinders is 200 kHz, who offers a good balance of performance under many conditions. Lower frequencies, such as 50 kHz, are capable of penetrating to greater depths, but with less resolution. Higher frequencies, such as 455 kHz, offer greater resolution, but are limited in depth performance. Humminbird ^® uses a variety of frequencies that are optimized for specific applications.

aGrayscale The use of varying shades of gray to represent the strength of the so signal on the display. Traditionally, the strongest sonar signals are represented in black, and progressively weaker signals are represented in progressively lighter sha ^1 of gray.

Noise The unintentional, external sound waves that interfere with the optimal operation of sonar. Noise appears as random "dots" on the display and is caused by a variety of sources. Many Humminbird® products have a Noise Filter menu setting that allows the user to clear the screen of noise that is difficult to eliminate (also, see Troubleshooting).

Pixels The "picture elements", or small square blocks, that make up the image on the LCD. Measured as a vertical by horizontal number (i.e. 640V x 320H), this key specification typically indicates the quality of resolution. In fishfinders, the total resolution (vertical multiplied by horizontal) is often less important than the "Vertical pixel" resolution because a greater number of vertical pixels provide finer resolution of targets detected by sonar. Sonar information on the horizontal axis can vary greatly, depending on boat speed and the Chart Speed setting.

Glossary

Sonar Terms

Power Output The amount of sound energy emitted into the water by the transducer's transmitter. Power output is measured using either RMS (Root Mean Square) or P-T-P (Peak-to-Peak) measurement systems. Either method is acceptable, but it is important when comparing power outputs, to make sure that the same measurement system is being used for both outputs, because P-T-P numbers are times higher than RMS numbers. Greater power output allows the sonar signal to penetrate through weeds and thermoclines, reach deeper depths and operate more effectively in noisy environments, such as when the boat is running at high speed. Pulse Width (Pulse Length) The length of time that a sonar sound burst is transmitted into the water. Shorter pulse widths provide better target separation, cannot travel to great depths. Longer pulse widths provide better depth penetration, but result in poorer target separation. Humminbird ^® varies pulse width based on to optimize both target separation and depth performance. Target Separation.

Second Return Describes the appearance of a second sonar return below the primary sonar return (bottom contour) at exactly twice the true depth. The second return is caused by the same sonar energy bouncing off the bottom once, rebound to the water surface and then traveling back down to the bottom to be reflected. Second returns are more common in shallow water and over hard bottoms; it is possible to see a third sonar return under some circumstances. The second return provides useful information to help determine bottom hardness, as areas with hard bottoms will generally create a second return. The second return can be used as guide to set Sensitivity when in shallower water.

SONAR (SOund and NAvigation Ranging) Sonar technology uses precision bursts transmitted underwater to determine the distance and other attributes of in the water. Distance can be determined because the speed of sound in water constant, and the time for the signal to return is measured. Sound also travels quickly underwater, making sonar a responsive, cost-effective tool. Sonar is the best technology behind all recreational and commercial fishfinding and depthfinding device

Sonar Update Rate The number of times per second that the transducer's transmitter/receiver sends and receives sonar signals. A very fast sonar update rate collects more information and provides a more detailed image of the bottom, fish, structure. Many Humminbird ^® units operate at up to 40 times per second when in single frequency operation. Due to the limitation of the speed of sound in water, update rate begins to slow as depth increases to deeper than 50 feet. In very shallow water (less than 10 feet), however, update rates as much as 60 times per second are achieved.

Speed The rate at which the boat moves through the water. Boat speed can be measured as Speed Over Ground or Speed Through Water. Speed Over Ground is provided by GPS, and is the measurement of the boats progress across a given distance. Speed Through Water is provided by a speed paddlewheel, and is the measurement of the flow past the boat, which may vary depending on current speed and direction. Speed Through Water is most critical for anglers using downriggers, it impacts the running depth of the down riggers. Speed Over Ground is optimal for navigation, as accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement. Withminbird products allow for input and display of both sources.

Structure A general term for objects on the bottom that present a discontinuity are a likely attractor for fish. This includes bottom contour features (drop-offs, human and holes), standing structure (stumps, timbers, brush piles), and a wide range of other potential objects (sunken boats, reefs).

Surface Clutter A phenomenon where sonar returns are reflected off of tiny obj near the surface of the water, including algae and even air bubbles. Typically, sal sound environments have significantly greater surface clutter than freshwater due to continuous wind and wave action that causes aeration at the surface.

eTarget Separation The measurement of minimum distance that a fishfinder needs able to recognize two very close objects as two distinct targets (i.e. two fish hanging very close, or a fish hanging very close to structure). Humminbird® fishfin

provide a very good 2 1/2 inches of target separation in shallower than 100 feet depth. Target separation decreases as depth increases due to the need for longer Width to achieve greater depth. See Pulse Width.

Thermoclines Water layer(s) of distinctly different temperatures that create a sor reflection due to the density of the differing water temperatures. Typically a thermocline will appear as a continuous band across the display at some distance above the bottom contour. Thermoclines are of interest to anglers because fish will suspend above or below the thermocline as they seek the optimum temperature a oxygen levels.

Time Variable Gain (TVG) A processing step applied to the sonar return to "normalize" the data so that objects of equal size (i.e. fish) appear to be the same even if they are separated by a good distance.

Transducer The transducer is part of the sonar system, which mounts on the beam and is in contact with the water, that converts the electrical energy from the transmitter into sound energy, and that forms the sonar beam in turn. Internally, the transducer consists of one or more piezo electric disks that expand by very minute amounts to create the sound wave. This element also works in reverse, converting returned sound energy back into an electrical signal that the receiver interprets. S SONAR.

Zoom A feature that focuses on a smaller area of the bottom to provide enhanc resolution. With enhanced resolution, the angler can more easily see fish hanging structure or multiple fish hanging close together.

Zoom, Bottom Lock Bottom Lock Zoom is a feature that focuses on a smaller just above the bottom to provide enhanced resolution. Unlike regular zoom, it continuously graphs the bottom at a constant point on the display regardless of changes in depth. This "flattens" out the bottom contour, but is effective at show fish on or near the bottom, and is preferred by many saltwater anglers.

Acquisition Time The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to detect publication from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers provide very fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water fas

Altitude The height measurement above sea level. Altitude is a measurement that can be provided by GPS.

Bearing (BRG) The direction to a destination waypoint measured in degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West).

Chartplotter A navigation device that shows Present Position on a Map, along w Tracks, Waypoints, and Routes. All Chartplotters are also considered Trackplotters.

Code.Start The procedure that a GPS receiver must perform when it does not have historical information regarding its current location. This procedure typically lasts for several minutes, and may be experienced upon first power up of the receiver, or that receiver has been moved a great distance.

Course Over Ground (COG) The current direction the boat is traveling measured degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° West). When the Course Over Ground is equal to Bearing, the boat is said to be "Course" and will arrive at the destination in the most efficient manner. COG is of confused with Heading. Sheadering.

Cross Track Error (XTE) The straight-line distance of the boat from the intend Track. XTE measures how far the boat is off course and also triggers the Off Cou Alarm. SeeTrack.

Differential GPS (DGPS) A system used to improve the position accuracy of the Department of Defense GPS through the use of secondary "correction signals" broadcast from ground stations around the coastal United States and on some inl wterways. These correction signals are provided by the USCG and received by an auxiliary Differential Beacon Receiver (DBR) that connects to the GPS receiver. The

advent of WAAS has largely negated the need for the added expense of a DBR United States.

Distance To Go The straight-line distance between Present Position and the Destination Waypoint. DTG and SOG (Speed Over Ground) are used to calculate To Go. See Time to Go and Speed Over Ground.

Estimated Position Error (EPE) A calculation that indicates the potential posit inaccuracy the user may experience due to a variety of GPS factors which include satellite position in the sky, signal strength, and others factors.

Fix Type Indicates whether the GPS receiver is providing 2D fix or 3D fix. A 2D requires only three satellites and provides only latitude and longitude. A 3D fix requires four or more satellites, and provides latitude, longitude, and altitude.

GPS (Global Positioning System) GPS provides accurate position (latitude, longitude, altitude) information virtually anywhere on the earth through satellite technology and personal receivers on the ground. How GPS Works.

Heading The direction the boat is pointing and is measured in degrees (i.e. 321 where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). Due to wind and the boat is often traveling in a slightly different direction than it is heading, and therefore Heading is often confused with Course Over Ground. Course Over Ground.

Map Datum Refers to a particular survey of the earth's surface that was referred when creating a chart (i.e. WGS84). It is important to select the correct Map Dat setting in your fishfinder when comparing GPS position to a paper chart to avoid position inaccuracies. Almost all electronic charts use the WGS84 Map Datum and therefore, they do not require setting changes.

MMC (Multi Media Card) An MMC is a postage stamp-sized memory device to store electronic data such a maps, waypoints, routes, and other information. M is the very rugged format suitable for the marine environment, but it is not waterpr MMC is the same format that many digital cameras us See

North, Magnetic The principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is 000 Magnetic North relies on the earth's magnetic field to align a metal pointer gener towards True North. However, due to local variations in the earth's magnetic field around the globe, the difference between True North and Magnetic North can be greater than 10^ . See True North.

North, True The principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is 000^ ). Tr North uses the axis of the rotation of the earth as the reference for North and is constant for all points on the earth. Most GPS units default to True North as the setting. The GPS heading may vary from the boat compass heading because the compass uses Magnetic North. Magnetic North.

Present Position The current location (latitude, longitude) determined by GPS. The Present Position is indicated on-screen by a directional boat icon if the boat is more or a round symbol if the boat is stationary.

Route A series of waypoints linked together in a specific sequence to define a navigation path between two points, and saved in the fishfinder's memory. Routes often used when frequently traveling between two or more locations because it is faster and more accurate method than repeatedly selecting individual waypoints at time one travels through the same area. Routes consist of a Start Waypoint, an E Waypoint, and a series of waypoints in between. Users can begin navigation at the beginning, the end (to run the route in reverse) or at any waypoint in between. S Waypoint.

SD (Secure Digital) An SD card is virtually identical in function to an MMC; however, the speed at which information can be accessed is generally faster, the storage capacity is generally larger, and the card has security features which can be used to prevent extracting the data from the card. SD is the same format that may digital cameras use. See MMC.

Glossary GPS & Navigation Terms

Selective Availability (SA) A GPS system "feature" that can be implemented by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to degrade the accuracy of GPS positioning information. With SA active, the GPS is accurate to within 100 meters 95% of the With SA inactive, the GPS is accurate to within 45 meters 95% of the time. Current SA is inactive and the consumer can enjoy the greater precision GPS provides; however, the DoD reserves the right to activate SA at any time.

Speed Over Ground (SOG) The measurement of the boat's progress across a distance and the speed measurement provided by GPS. An alternate, Speed Through Water, is provided by a speed paddlewheel, and is the measurement of the flow of the boat, which may vary depending on current speed and direction. Speed Over Ground is optimal for navigation because accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement. Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both speed measurements.

Time To Go (TTG) The estimated time required to reach the destination waypo TTG is calculated using the SOG and DTGSGE and DTG.

Track A series of saved points that define the past path of the boat. These Track Points are saved at regular time intervals. Tracks are a useful and quick method where you've been, and an easy guide to follow to get you back to the starting point. Generally, all GPS units have a limited number of Track Points that can be saved, the unit runs out of memory and begins erasing the first track points saved. Because of this, the user can adjust the Track Point Interval menu to increase the amount of time between when points are saved, and thus extend the distance covered by a Track can also be permanently saved to memory and re-displayed at the user's own position.

Track Line (TRK) The planned line of travel between two waypoints, and it represents the most efficient path between the two points because it is a straight line. The TRK is measured in degrees (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). S Cross Track Error and Course Over Ground.

Trackplotter A navigation device that shows Present Position, along with Track, Waypoint, and Routes, but NO MAP in the background Chartplotter.

Trolling Grid A Humminbird® feature that displays a precise reference grid around waypoint. This grid is used as a guide pattern for trolling around a specific area to assure a more efficient and complete coverage of that area.

UTC (Universal Time Constant) UTC is the "standard time" used in navigation given on the local time in Greenwich England. (UTC is equivalent to Greenwich Mean Time on GMT). past

WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) WAAS is complementary technolo do GPS that provides enhanced accuracy through correction signals broadcast from Federal Aviation Administration WAAS satellites stationed over the USA. These secondary signals are automatically received by the standard Humminbird® GPS Receiver. With WAAS signal, GPS accuracy is improved to within 3 meters 95% of time. Outside the United States, regional governmental coalitions have created simi systems such as EGNOS (Europe) and MSAS (Japan).

Waypoint The saved location (latitude, longitude) of a point of interest that is st to see in a GPS receiver's memory. This can include a marker buoy, dock, fishing hole, or point; anywhere else the user may want to return to. Humminbird® products offer the al before to name and assign a symbol to the saved location. Depth, Date, and Time of Da use the waypoint was created is also saved.

Waypoint Target A Humminbird® feature that displays a precise "bull's eye" and optislected waypoint. This bull's eye is used to easily monitor boat position relative to a waypoint, and is useful for fishing over submerged structure. With Waypoint Tail, a quick look at the screen lets you know how far off the waypoint the boat has
