Gimbal knobs Gimbal bracket arm Gimbal bracket arm When the unit is in the desired position, tighten the gimbal knobs. 2. To adjust the viewing angle, loosen the gimbal knobs, tilt the unit to the desired position, then retighten the knobs.

Also be sure the lead colors match the battery terminal colors (red positive to positive and black negative to negative). Most complaints about portable units result from batteries that have not been charged. If you are using the optional D dry cell battery adapter, be sure you use fresh batteries. It is a good idea to have the batteries and the sonar unit nice and warm before leaving home. (If you are using disposable D batteries, always remove them from the power pack when storing the unit because dead batteries can leak, corroding the contacts of the battery adapter. ) If the batteries do lose their charge, you can sometimes restore them by warming them up. A better option is to replace them with batteries that have been kept warm. WARNING: Never heat batteries over an open flame or direct hot air onto them. Slip the washer onto the transducer rod, followed by the transducer and the wing nut. Assembled transducer, attached to the mounting rod. 2. The wing nut should be tightened enough to hold the transducer on the rod, but it should be loose enough to allow the transducer to swing freely. This allows the transducer to self-position itself straight down, for ideal ice fishing performance. Grasp the assembled transducer and rod in one hand and thread the swing arm's socket end onto the rod. 6 Insert mounting rod through swing arm's socket, as shown. 4. Snap the red rubber adjustment lock onto the rod and screw it into the swing arm's threaded socket. As the lock is screwed in, it tightens on the mounting rod, holding it in place. Snap adjustment lock onto transducer mounting rod as shown, then screw it into the swing arm's socket. If it is too hard to turn, consider adding a small amount of petroleum jelly or silicone lubricant to the threads on the adjustment lock. This will help the lock turn more easily, which may be necessary in very cold environments. Slip the assembled transducer rod and swing arm into the ratcheted swing arm socket on the front of the base plate. 7 Mount swing arm in ratcheted socket on base plate. To adjust transducer depth, loosen the adjustment lock, slide the rod up or down, then retighten. To adjust lateral position in your fishing hole, simply nudge the arm to one side or another, then lightly press down on the arm's ratchet end to engage the ratchets.
