User manual HUMMINBIRD WIDE 3D VIEW

[. . . ] INSTALLATION PREPARATION PARTS SUPPLIED PARTS SUPPLIED Before installing your new Humminbird fishfinder, please ensure the following parts are included in the box: · · · · · Fishfinder Transducer with 20' (6m) of cable and mounting hardware kit Mounting system and mounting hardware kit 6' (2m) power cable Publications kit It any of these items is missing, call our Customer Support Hotline. ACCESSORIES Humminbird offers a wide assortment of accessories that complement and expand the capability of your new fishfinder. These accessories are designed with the same high standards and are backed by the same one-year warranty. The Humminbird Accessory catalog included with your unit contains descriptions of the many accessories available and ordering information. [. . . ] Reversing this view point is called "left perspective" (Figure B). This option is available in the System Options screen which will be discussed in more detail later in this manual. The 2D view shown in Figure C, will be familiar to previous sonar users. All the information collected by the six individual beams is compressed into a 2-dimensional presentation. The most current information is displayed on the right side of the screen and moves to the left as new information is received. The Combo view combines a 3D and 2D representation of the same information. This view is shown in Figure D and is especially useful in learning to use the 3D presentation. A valuable accessory available for use with all Wide 3D products is Wide Side. Your unit has the capability of displaying information from a special "side-locking" transducer as shown in Figure E. See the "Advanced Feature" section for more information. Using the View button to toggle between the three main views gives you the maximum benefit of each type of view: The 3D view gives you an excellent representation of bottom terrain and target location, The 2D view is best for determining bottom hardness and texture and locating structure or bottom detail. The combo view combines both 3D and 2D views to provide the best of both views. USING THE 3D VIEW At power-up, the Wide 3D View locates the bottom and adjusts the depth range to a setting most appropriate for that depth. The bottom will usually be displayed about 2/3 of the way down the display. Each of the six sonar beams transmits a signal at a rate of about four times per second. The returned signals from each transmit are compared and evaluated before the information is displayed, so each display update contains information gathered from several transit and receive cycles. The digital depth shown on-screen is the depth of the water directly beneath your boat. As new information is received, the most recent information is displayed at the lower right, directly underneath the boat symbol. Boat speed and water surface temperature are displayed at the upper right. If you have not connected this accessory, the screen layout will be slightly different. The distance back number represents the linear distance of the sonar information being displayed. The faster your boat is moving, the greater the amount of distance will be seen on the screen. As the depth of the water changes, the Wide 3D View will automatically adjust the depth range and sensitivity as necessary to view the bottom on-screen. The 3D view of the Wide 3D View is capable of tracking the bottom to a depth of 240 feet. Beyond 240 feet, you must select the 2D view for bottom tracking to 1000 feet. When operating at depths near 240 feet in the 3D or Combo views, A message will appear warning you of the depth limitations of the 3D view. Also, the 2D view has a depth capability much greater than the 3D view. [. . . ] The Wide 3D View transducer is very sensitive to hull irregularities, and care should be taken to find a location that gives identical returns from each of the six beams. WIDE SIDE OPERATION Wide Side is an accessory transducer that gives your Wide 3D View the capability of collecting sonar information from either side of your boat. Side-looking sonar is extremely valuable for bank fishing, or looking for bait fish in open water. The Wide Side transducer contains 3 different elements which transmit signals to the left, right, and straight down from your boat. This beam maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your boat. These side-looking elements can be used independently, or together to locate targets near the surface of the water on either side of your boat. The Wide Side transducer is available as a trolling motor mount, a transom mount, or a portable mount. [. . . ]
