User manual HUMMINBIRD HDR 400G

[. . . ] GUARANTEED DEPTH PERFORMANCE Your Humminbird Digital is guaranteed to operate to 400 feet when the unit and transducer are properly installed, following the instructions in this operations manual. It cannot be emphasized enough how important it is to correctly install the unit and transducer. Improper installation will void the depth guarantee because it can degrade the unit's performance. TRANSDUCER MOUNTING PROCEDURE Humminbird's high-speed transducer is supplied with your LCR. This transducer has been designed to give good high speed readings on most all boat designs, including aluminum. [. . . ] Inspect your transducer cable and make sure that it has not been cut or damaged to the point where it will affect the performance of the transducer. A slight nick or cut, exposing the outer cable, can be repaired by wrapping with electrical tape. A transducer can be damaged if the inner cable and outer cable are allowed to make contact. Such a problem can sometimes be corrected by properly splicing the coaxial cable. If your LCR is not working properly and you suspect the problem might be in your transducer, we would recommend you borrow a unit from a friend and try it on your boat. If the symptoms are the same, you can almost be certain that the problem is in the transducer. INSTALLING THE LCR The LCR should be mounted on a flat, solid surface for maximum stability. Position the swivel base and drill four ¼" diameter holes. Note: The LCR hole pattern Is the same as for all Humminbird flasher units. Next place the gimbal bracket on the swivel base and attach with four small machine screws, provided. Place the LCR in the gimbal mount and make certain the rubber washers provided are placed between the unit and the gimbal bracket Important: Note which side of the gimbal faces forward. Also, rubber washer must be located between the unit and the gimbal bracket. Install the mounting knobs and tighten snugly. The unit can now be swiveled and tilted to any desired position. OTHER MOUNTING OPTIONS 1. The LCR gimbal bracket can also be mounted on the SM-4, quick disconnect swivel mount. The LCR gimbal bracket can also be mounted directly to the dash without the swivel mount, however, this method is not recommended since the unit cannot be rotated. INSTALLING THE CABLES Your LCR comes equipped with Humminbird's new Angle-Lock power and transducer connectors. The power connector is identified with the letter P on the back of the plug. It plugs into the outlet on the back of the unit marked "Power". The transducer connector is identified with the letter T and plugs into the outlet on the back of the unit marked "Transducer". Note: An adapter (AD-4) is available to allow use of an old waterproof (BNC) transducer with the LCR, but be sure that the transducer is a 16degree. A 11/8" hole must be drilled to pull through the transducer connector. After drilling the hole, pull the transducer connector up through the hole. If you are installing two units, both transducer connectors can be pulled through this 1 1/8" inch hole. Install the hole cover after determining the necessary wire length from the hole. A slight nick or cut, exposing the outer cable, can be repaired by wrapping with electrical tape. [. . . ] Rather than display an incorrect bottom depth, the Humminbird Digital will blank out the display until the correct bottom is found again. TROUBLE SHOOTING: If the bottom reading is lost while making a hard turn, the transducer is coming out of the water during the turn. OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS With only four buttons your Humminbird Digital is very easy to use. The use of each button is explained below, as well as some special functions such as selecting feet, meters, or fathoms and the option of deleting the decimal point. [. . . ]
