User manual HUMMINBIRD RF25

[. . . ] 531344-1_C Thank You! Thank you for choosing Humminbird , America's #1 name in fishfinders. Humminbird® has built its reputation by designing and manufacturing topquality, thoroughly reliable marine equipment. Your Humminbird® is designed for trouble-free use in even the harshest marine environment. In the unlikely event that your Humminbird® does require repairs, we offer an exclusive Service Policy-free of charge during the first six months after purchase, and available at a reasonable rate after the six month period. [. . . ] Menus are automatically removed from the display after several seconds. CAUTION: You will increase the possibility of breaking your line if you use light test pound line on your reel. The RSSTM is positively buoyant (is buoyant under its own weight plus 0. 2 ounces or 5. 7 g of bait and lead weight. ) The maximum amount of weight for any attachment to the RSSTM is approximately ¹² to ¹³ ounces (5. 3 g to 5. 8 g), and includes the combined weight of any hook, line, weight, swivel/snap swivel and bait that is attached to the RSSTM. The RSSTM itself weighs 1 ounce (28 g), and therefore light test line might break. NOTE: Store the RSSTM in a dry, non-metallic container, such as a tackle box, in a separate compartment, and isolated from any metallic devices. RSSTM Programming Mode You may change the light setting or the channel type on the Advanced RSSTM using a programming mode that is accessed by touching the wet switch contacts on the bottom of the RSSTM. NOTE: Please read this and the next section BEFORE you try to program the Advanced RSSTM using the wet switch contacts. Specific step-bystep procedures to turn on the light and to change the channel follow this section. You will find it easier to perform these steps once you have grasped the way the programming mode works. RSSTM Power The Remote Sonar Sensor (RSSTM) has a separate, nonreplaceable lithium battery that has a shelf life of three years and will last for approximately 500 hours of in-water use (when the nighttime LED is turned off). Discard the used RSSTM in compliance with local laws as you would any electronic component or battery. Sensitivity Press the POWER-MENU button until SENSITIVITY appears. Select a higher number to show weaker sonar returns on the display, or a lower number to remove clutter from the display. Adjusting Sensitivity also affects how sonar returns are identified as Fish ID Symbols - more fish will be detected at the highest setting Temperature of 40 Means LED is OFF Temperature Setting of 45 Means LED is On 2. To change the setting to 45°F (7°C) (blinking light ON) touch and release the wet switch contacts once more. Wait two seconds and then confirm that the temperature reading on the Control Head has changed to 45°F (7°C). Single touches will toggle the setting between 40°F (4°C) and 45°F (7°C). NOTE: When the LED is set to ON it will flash every four seconds when the RSSTM is in operation (i. e. Even when the LED is set to ON, the LED will not flash unless the wet switch is activated. If you want to test the RSSTM to make sure the LED is set to ON before using the RSSTM, wet your finger and hold it on the wet switch; if the LED is set to ON, the LED will begin to flash. NOTE: Repeat steps 1 and 2 to turn off the LED when finished with night fishing. Do not store the Rod Mounted Display on your fishing rod, in direct sunlight, or in extreme temperatures. When you are not fishing for extended periods, remove the rod mount from the rod and store it in a dry, cool place such as your tackle box, away from extreme temperatures and ultraviolet light. RSSTM Maintenance: After using the RSSTM in salt water, wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth dampened with fresh water. The RSSTM Wet SwitchTM pins must be rinsed with fresh water after exposure to salt water to prevent corrosion. If your RSSTM remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take some time to wet it when returned to the water. Small air bubbles can cling to the surface of the RSSTM and interfere with proper operation. If sonar performance becomes weak (i. e. , there are bottom gaps or "0" depth readings) the bottom of the RSSTM needs to be cleaned with a drop or two of a 5 to 10 percent solution of liquid dish-washing detergent and water. Use approximately one tablespoon (15 ml) detergent to 8 ounces (237 ml) of water to remove oils from the face of the RSSTM, then wipe with a damp cloth. 3.
