[. . . ] Deepwater depth sounders have long used 50KHz for best deepwater performance, but they suffer with poor definition. Shallow-water units use a higher frequeney 200KHz system for better target separation and detail. But TCR technology takes high definition to a new level with its exclusive 455KHz operation. TCRs have twice the frequency, three times the power (1600 watts, peak to peak) and twice the detail of other units. You can clearly separate fish from the bottom and from structure, and you can see individual fish in a way that ordinary depth sounders just can't show them. The TCR ID-I features our exclusive 455KHz high-definition performance system - twice the frequency, three times the power (1600 walls peak to peak) and twice the detail of other units. USING THE TCR ID-1 HOW SONAR WORKS Compact, High-Definition Sensor. To send and receive this higher-frequency signal, we developed a new High-Definition Sensor. You can immediately see the difference between our 455KHz Sensor and older 200KHz transducers. This unique new Sensor makes bulky low-definition transducers a thing of the past. It's designed for superior highspeed performance, and because of its small size you'll have less problem with drag, turbulence, or rooster-tails. This new Sensor is actually less likely to be damaged by debris, yet performs with all the accuracy you expect from Humminbird. USING THE TCR ID-1 BUILT-IN SIMULATOR BUILT-IN SIMULATOR To help you learn to use your new unit, Humminbird has built a simulator into the TCR ID-1. The simulator will display a typical underwater scene, and allow you to use the controls for practice. Activating the simulator is easy - with the unit turned off, hold down the power button for about 2 seconds, until a chirping sound begins. When you release the button, the builtin simulator will be on and ready for your practice session. Turning your unit off and back on again will disengage the simulator, for operating the TCR ID -1 in actual conditions. NOTE: The built-in simulator will allow you to practice adjusting the sensitivity, but your adjustments will not change the readings being displayed on the screen. USING THE TCR ID-1 READING THE TCR ID-1 SCREEN READING THE TCR ID-1 SCREEN Your TCR has a liquid crystal display, or LCD. The liquid crystal material in the display aligns itself to either block light or let light pass through. Since the display depends on light to form its images, increasing the light source makes it easier to see. You will also notice that the display can be seen better at certain angles. The TCR mounting system has been designed for tilting and pivoting so that you can easily maintain a good angle for viewing. Another characteristic of the display is that some polarized glasses can affect your view by causing a rainbow or prism to appear. Fish Identification The TCR ID-1 uses Humminbird's exclusive double-layer LCD. But the TCR ID -1 adds a third color - red - by using a second layer on the display. [. . . ] 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.
