[. . . ] Note: the transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer detection. If a transducer is detected, the unit will enter "Start Up" or normal operation unless you choose another option. If you do not press any button before the timer reaches "0", the normal operation screen is displayed. If the bottom is visible on screen with a digital depth readout, the unit is working properly. Ensure the boat is in water greater than 2' but less than the depth capability of the unit and the transducer is fully submerged. If the unit is working properly gradually increase the boat speed to test high-speed performance. If the unit-functions well at low speeds but begins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds, the transducer requires adjustment. Refer to the appropriate transducer installation section for more detail. Note: it is often necessary to make several incremental transducer adjustments before optimum high-speed performance is achieved. Important: For Transom Mount transducer installations, install the third mounting screw after the final transducer adjustments.

WARNING: This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects. USING THE PLATINUM ID 120 HOW SONAR WORKS HOW SONAR WORKS There are two main components to a Platinum ID installation: the sensor, which you will install on the transom or inside the hull, and the Platinum ID unit. The sensor and Platinum ID communicate by means of a cable, and are powered by your boat's 12-volt DC battery. The sensor and Platinum ID use the basic principles of sonar to reveal objects beneath the water's surface. [. . . ] 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.
