[. . . ] INSTALLATION PREPARATION PARTS SUPPLIED PARTS SUPPLIED Before installing your new Humminbird fishsinder, 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. [. . . ] If the return meets certain additional criteria, a fish symbol will be assigned. There are three different size fish symbols used to indicate the intensity of the sonar return. While signal intensity is a good indicator of relative fish size, different species of fish have different sonar characteristics, so it is not always possible to distinguish fish size between varying species. The signal intensity is "normalized" for depth so that a small fish close to the boat does not appear as a large fish symbol. A further method of differentiation of fish symbols indicates which of the three sonar beams the fish is detected in. This gives you a reliable indicator of side to side location relative to boat movement. Hollow fish symbols facing to the right are detected in the right beam and therefore are to the right side of the boat (as viewed from the driver seat facing forward). Hollow fish symbols facing to the left are detected in the left beam, and thus the fish is to the left side of the boat. Solid fish symbols represent fish which are detected in the single center beam, and these fish are directly under the boat. ID+ adds an additional piece of information to help the user locate fish. On selected fish symbols, the digital depth of the designated fish is drawn to help locate the fish vertically. This is especially helpful in setting bait depths or for downrigger operation. CONTROL FUNCTIONS The Wide 2000 uses a simple 6-button keypad for all user input. When any button is pressed, an audible "chirp" confirms the control input. In the event that a particular button has no function or is inappropriate for the situation, an audible "error", or multiple chirps will be heard. With the unit powered off, press and hold POWER for several seconds until a continuous chirp is heard. LIGHT controls the unit's 4-position display back light. With the unit powered on, pressing LIGHT once will turn the back light on "low". Pressing LIGHT a second time will turn the back light on "high". The backlight is very effective for low- light and nighttime operation. When the backlight is on, the Wide 2000 will consume more power than with the backlight off. This is important when using the Wide 2000 in a portable configuration powered by a separate battery, or when powering the unit from a trolling motor battery. NOTE: When powering the unit from a battery such as in portable applications, avoiding use of the backlight prolongs battery life. The VIEW button selects one of several screen configurations or "views" possible depending on the transducer in use. When using the standard (Tri-beam) transducer, the view button toggles the display between the full- screen 2D view, and "Monster Digits" view. [. . . ] The total time category indicates the total time the unit has been in use since shipped from the factory. Note: It is normal for some hours to be indicated in the total time when the unit is new due to factory testing. While this is often of interest to the user, it is primarily a diagnostic tool for the repair technician should service be required. Press MENU to exit Diagnostic. USING ALTERNATIVE TRANSDUCERS The Wide 2000 is designed to operate with the Tri-Beam transducer included standard with the product. The standard transducer can be mounted on the transom of the boat, or bonded to the inside of most fiberglass hulls. [. . . ]
