[. . . ] Easy-to-use controls on the LCR 400ID allow you to set the depth range, adjust display speed and sensitivity, enable a fish alarm and bottom alarm, and display a "zoom" window of still more detailed information. BEFORE BEGINNING THE HUMMINBIRD ADVANTAGE THE HUMMINBIRD ADVANTAGE The LCR 400ID incorporates the best of available technologies, and offers advantages you won't find in other depth sounders. The liquid crystal display (LCD) offers sharp viewing even in bright, direct sunlight, and is continuously lit for nighttime operation. Advanced LCD "super-twist" technology built into the LCR 400ID offers a wider viewing angle and higher contrast than ordinary LCD screens. (You will notice that the display can be seen better at certain angles. The gimbal mounting bracket lets you easily adjust the viewing angle for optimum viewing. Note also that some polarized glasses can affect your viewing by causing a rainbow or prism to appear; if so, tilt the unit slightly. ) Though it includes sophisticated electronics, the LCR 400ID is tough enough to take the pounding punishment of rough seas or a race across the lake. Completely waterproof ­ even saltwater-proof ­ your LCR 400ID will provide you with many years of thoroughly reliable operation. In the unlikely event that your Humminbird does require repairs, we offer an exclusive Service Guarantee ­ free of charge during the first year after purchase, and available at a reasonable rate after the one-year warranty period. Complete details are included in this manual. USING THE LCR400ID USING THE BUILT-IN SIMULATOR USING THE LCR400ID This section provides complete information on operating the LCR 400ID through its front panel controls. You are encouraged to read this information completely as you first learn to use the LCR 400ID. Doing so will ensure you make the most of its many features and functions. The first part of this section explains the use of the built-in practice simulator, which you can use to practice selecting functions through the front panel. The remaining instructions, which can be followed while using the simulator or in actual operation, explain each function and are organized according to the front panel layout. USING THE BUILT-IN SIMULATOR The LCR 400ID includes a built-in simulator that helps you learn to use your new equipment. The simulator displays a typical underwater scene, and lets you practice with the controls. To activate it, press down and hold the POWER button until a chirping sound begins. Release the button, and the built-in simulator begins displaying a typical LCR 400ID reading. You can use the simulator to learn the functions explained in the following pages, just as if you were getting actual on-the-water readings (but note that "Sensitivity" is disabled). To turn off the simulator, turn off the unit by pressing the POWER button again. Of course, the best way to learn the LCR 400ID is with actual use, especially in familiar waters. If you know what's below and see it on-screen, you'll quickly become an LCR 400ID expert. USING THE LCR400ID OPERATING THE LCR400ID FRONT PANEL BUTTONS The LCR 400ID offers several functions that you can adjust with the front panel buttons. (Note that to select something with a button, you must press it fully so that you hear a "chirp" sound). [. . . ] If engine noise is causing the interference, the problem will intensify at higher RPMs. Increase the engine speed with the boat stationary to isolate this cause. If the transducer is mounted too close to the propeller, the turbulence generated can interfere with the sonar signal. Ensure that the transducer is mounted at least 15" (38cm) from the prop. MAINTENANCE AND WARRANTY WARRANTY HUMMINBIRD ONE YEAR FULL WARRANTY First year repairs (from original date of purchase) on your Humminbird fishfinder are absolutely free. [. . . ]
