The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies

depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455kHz)

are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is

limited. High frequencies (200kHz) are commonly used on

consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth

performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83kHz) are

typically used to achieve greater depth capability.

How Sonar Works

Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 700 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate

and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the

transducer.

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by

measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is

reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and

composition of an object.

Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft

(70 m) and back again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this

sonar signal.

SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging.

Sonar utilizes precision sound pulses or "pings" which are

emitted into the water in a teardrop-shaped beam.

The power output is the amount of energy generated by the

sonar transmitter. It is commonly measured using two

methods:

The sound pulses "echo" back from objects in the water such

as the bottom, fish and other submerged objects. The

returned echoes are displayed on the LCD screen. Each time a

new echo is received, the old echoes are moved across the LCD,

creating a scrolling effect.

• Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over

the entire transmit cycle.

• Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest

points.

The benefits of increased power output are the ability to

detect smaller targets at greater distances, ability to

overcome noise, better high speed performance and

enhanced depth capability.

When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to

interpret "graph" of the bottom, fish and structure appears.

QuadraBeam™ Sonar

WideSide® Sonar

(with optional-purchase WideSide® transducer)

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System supports

QuadraBeam™ sonar. QuadraBeam™ sonar

provides an extremely wide 90° area of

coverage. QuadraBeam™ starts with two 45° 455

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also supports

WideSide® sonar with the purchase of an additional

WideSide® transducer. The WideSide® transducer is a

specialized "side-looking" transducer that is extremely

useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open

water. The WideSide® transducer uses three different

sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right

and straight down from your boat. The downward

beam is 200 kHz with a 24° area of coverage. This beam

maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the

bottom directly beneath your boat. The side beams are

455 kHz with a 16° area of coverage. The side-looking

elements can be used independently, or together to

locate targets near the surface of the water on either

side of your boat.

kHz beams for

continuous 90° of

uninterrupted side to side coverage to 160 feet.

These Side Structure locating beams reveal fish

and structure to the left and right of your boat

near the bottom. For structure directly below

your boat, Quadrabeam™ uses DualBeam

PLUS™ technology.

DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam

PLUS™ sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage.

DualBeam PLUS™ sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center beam,

surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to

an area equal to your depth. In 20 feet of water, the wider beam

covers an area 20 feet wide. The 20° center beam is focused on

the bottom, to show you structure, weeds and cover. The 60°

wide beam is hunting for fish in the wide coverage area.

DualBeam PLUS™ sonar returns can be blended together, viewed

separately or compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUS™ is ideal for

a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in

both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such

factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water

conditions and transducer installation.

Your 700 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™Preimium on MMC or SD

card media.

How GPS and Cartography Work

(with optional-purchase GPS Receiver)

NOTE: Your 700 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts, only Navionics® Gold,

HotMaps™, and HotMaps™ Premium.

With the purchase of an additional GPS Receiver, your 700 Series™ Fishing System also

supports GPS and chartplotting. With a GPS Receiver, your 737 uses GPS and sonar to

determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and

maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use;

however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities,

typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the

GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver

also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the

European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite

Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.

Your unit also comes with a built-in World map.

Your 700 Series™ uses the optional-purchase GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat

automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to

display. See Viewing Cartography for more information.

Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also has a multi-media

card (MMC)/SD slot that is used to insert optional-

purchase cards containing additional detailed maps.

GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send

radio signals to the earth. Your present position is determined

by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring

the distance from the satellites.

NOTE: MMC/SD cards require an optional-purchase GPS

receiver in order to function.

Inserting an MMC/SD into the Card Slot

All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per

second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your

boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it.

Based on time differences between each received signal, the

GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With

distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically

triangulates its own position. With once per second updates,

the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.

If you insert an MMC/SD that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location, your

700 Series™ Fishing System will retrieve that chart and display it automatically. Use the

illustration to locate the position of the MMC/SD slot cover, remove the MMC/SD slot cover,

then insert the MMC/SD into the slot. The label on the MMC/SD should face toward the right

side of the unit. Press down on the card until it clicks into place, then replace the slot cover,

making certain that the gasket is present and positioned correctly before re-installing the

cover, then replace and tighten snugly - do NOT overtighten, as this will not improve water

resistance, and may damage the cover.

The optional-purchase GPS Receiver, when used with your 700 Series™ Fishing System, allows you

to combine easy-to-use FishingGPS™ chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced

fishfinding. The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 700 Series™ Fishing

System when it is connected to the optional-purchase GPS receiver.

Software Updates

Use the MMC/SD slot to update the software version of your control head. To update the

software in your control head, plug in the appropriate MMC/SD card that contains a software

update file; the unit will recognize it, will tell you what software version your control

head is currently running, and will ask you if you want to update the software in the unit

to match that on the MMC/SD card. You can obtain software updates from the

www.humminbird.com website.

Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS

Receiver is attached, the 700 Series™ can

display the speed of the boat, and can keep a

Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled.

Structure - where fish may be hiding.

Fish - fish are displayed as arches and/or fish

icons, and the unit can be set to alarm when a

fish of a certain size is detected. When a target

is detected and Fish ID+ is on, a Fish ID+^TM

symbol with depth is displayed. The size of

the symbol shows the intensity of the sonar

return. The unit will clearly show schools of

Bait Fish as "clouds" of different shapes and

sizes, depending on the number of fish and

boat speed.

Temperature - water surface temperature.

Timer - elapsed time with Temp/Speed

Accessory or GPS Receiver.

Distance - distance traveled with Temp/Speed

Accessory or GPS Receiver.

Average Speed - average speed reading with

Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.

Sonar View

The views available on your 700 Series™ Fishing System are:

Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for

temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The

most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is

received, the older information is moved across the display to the left. A Digital Depth Readout is

displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears

along the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the

water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom. Depth Range is automatically selected to

keep the bottom visible on the display, although you can adjust it manually as well (see Sonar

X-Press^TMMenu). Six additional Digital Readouts display information from optional-purchase

accessories. These information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired

(see Setup Menu Tab, Select Readouts).

Understanding Sonar History

Bottom Presentation

It is important to understand the significance of the 700

Series™ Fishing System display. The display does NOT show a

literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water.

Each vertical band of data received by the control head and

plotted on the display represents something that was detected

by a sonar return at a particular time. As both the boat and the

targets (fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing a

particular segment of time when objects were detected, not

exactly where those objects are in relation to other objects

shown on the display.

As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the

Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A

Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display.

A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms

have a broken, random appearance.

Bottom Contour Profile with RTS® Window.

Temp/Speed Accessory is optional.

Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window

A Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only.

The RTS® Window always updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only

the returns from the bottom, structure and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS®

Window plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return (see Sonar Menu - RTS® Window).

Hard Bottom

Soft Bottom

Rocky Bottom

The Narrow RTS® Window

indicates the sonar intensity

through the use of grayscale.

The grayscale used matches

the bottom view grayscale

setting used in the sonar

history window (i.e. Inverse,

Structure ID®, WhiteLine®,

Bottom Black). The depth of

the sonar return is indicated

by the vertical placement of

the return on the display

depth scale.

The Wide RTS® Window

indicates the sonar intensity

through the use of a bar

graph. The length of the

plotted return provides an

indication of whether the

return is weak or strong. The

depth of the sonar return is

indicated by the vertical

placement of the return on

the display depth scale. The

Wide RTS® Window does not

make use of grayscale.

The sonar returns from the bottom, structure and fish can be represented as either Inverse

(default), WhiteLine®, Structure ID®, or Bottom Black. See Sonar X-Press^TMMenu: Bottom View for

details on how to set the bottom view.

Freeze Frame

Freeze Frame - Pressing any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key will freeze the screen and a

cursor will be displayed on the screen. The cursor can be positioned on the display using the

4-WAY Cursor Control key to determine the depth of any sonar return. The RTS® Window

continues to update in Freeze Frame. In addition, see the effects of menu setting changes with

Instant Image Update. Pressing EXIT will exit Freeze Frame and the display will start to scroll.

Freeze Frame is available in the Sonar, Sonar Zoom, and 200/83 kHz Split Sonar Views.

Inverse is a method where weak returns are shown with dark

pixels and strong returns with lighter pixels. This has the benefit

of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the

display.

Sonar Zoom View

Sonar Zoom View increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close

together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom

View, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the full range view on the right and the zoomed

view on the left. The full range view on the right also contains the Zoom Preview Box that shows

what part of the full range view is shown in zoom view on the left; the Zoom Preview Box tracks

the bottom in the full range view.

As the depth changes, the zoomed view updates automatically to display a magnified image of

the bottom. The Zoom Preview Box shows where the zoomed view is in relation to the full range

view. The Zoom Level, or magnification, is displayed in the lower left corner and can be changed

to suit conditions (see Sonar X-Press^TMMenu: Zoom Level). Upper and Lower Zoom Depth Range

numbers indicate the depth of the water which is being viewed.

Structure ID® represents weak returns as light pixels and strong

returns as dark pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that

strong returns will be clearly visible on the display.

Digital depth is displayed in the upper left hand corner. The digital readouts in the Sonar Zoom

View cannot be customized; therefore, information such as water temperature and voltage are

unavailable in the Sonar Zoom View.

200/83 kHz Split Sonar View

Big Digits View

Split Sonar View displays sonar returns from the 83 kHz wide beam on the left side of the screen

and displays sonar returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam on the right side of the screen. Depth

is always displayed in the upper left hand corner. You can use the Split Sonar View to make side

by side comparisons between the sonar returns from the 83 kHz wide beam and the 200 kHz

narrow beam.

Big Digits View provides digital data in a large, easy-to-see format. Depth is always displayed.

When Screen Snapshot is enabled (from the Accessories menu tab), pressing the MARK key

creates a saved screen capture (when you have an optional-purchase MMC/SD card installed).

Side Beam View shows sonar information from both the left and right 90° 455 kHz beams and the

200 kHz down-looking beam in one view. The top portion of the display presents a historical log

of sonar returns from the 200 kHz down-looking sonar. The bottom portion of the display presents

a historical log of sonar returns from the 455 kHz right- and left-looking sonar. New information

appears at the top, and scrolls down the display.

3. Viewing a Screen Snapshot using the Screen Snapshot View.

4. Deleting a Screen Snapshot using the Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu.

The sonar information from the side-looking beams reveals bottom contour, structure and fish

similar to the down-looking beam, but the area covered is to the left and right of the area shown

in the down-looking portion, so you actually see more of the bottom. The distance covered by the

right and left 90° beams is based on the depth setting for the down-looking beam, up to a

maximum of 160 feet.

For more information, see the Accessories Menu Tab: Using Screen Snapshot procedure and the

Screen Snapshot X-Press™ Menu.

When you start a screen snapshot, you will see a message that a waypoint has been created at the

point where your cursor is on the screen, and the screen will freeze. A status dialog box will appear

that shows the progress of the save, and that displays the numbered file name assigned to the

.BMP file that is being created, along with the percentage completed status.

The Screen Snapshot View displays up to three thumbnails of these screen captures at a time. You

can scroll through the whole list of thumbnails of screen snapshots in this view using the 4-WAY

Cursor keys. The selected thumbnail will be highlighted with arrows. See the full-sized image by

selecting a thumbnail (using the Up or Down 4-Way Cursor keys), then using the Right 4-Way

Cursor key to view the full image. A border around the full-size screen snapshot indicates that it is

just a screen snapshot, not a “live” view. You can delete the selected image, or all images, using

Delete Image or Delete All Images from the Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu.

frequently-used. Press the MENU key once while in any of the

Sonar Views to access the Sonar X-Press^TMMenu.

Side

(WideSide® transducer: WideSide® view only)

Side sets which transducer beam from the WideSide® Transducer is shown in the WideSide® View.

A WideSide® transducer must be connected to the 700 Series™ Fishing System. The Side menu

choice is available when Transducer Select is set to WideSide® (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer

Select) and can only be accessed from the Sonar X-Press^TMmenu when you are in WideSide® view.

Sensitivity

Upper Range

(Advanced: Sonar, Split Sonar, Big Digits and Circular Flasher

Sensitivity controls how much detail is shown on the display

and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar frequencies. Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar

returns from small baitfish and suspended debris in the water; however, the display may become

too cluttered. When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity shows

weaker returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the

display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the

display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish.

views only)

Upper Range sets the shallowest depth range that will be displayed on the Sonar, Split Sonar, Big

Digits and Circular Flasher Views. The Upper Range menu choice is available when User Mode is

set to Advanced (see Setup Menu Tab: User Mode) and can only be accessed from the Sonar, Split

Sonar, Big Digits and Circular Flasher Views. Upper Range is often used with Lower Range.

NOTE: The Sensitivity setting is a global setting and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar

frequencies, as compared to specific sensitivity adjustments (such as 83 kHz Sensitivity, 455 kHz

Balance or Wideside Sensitivity) that allow you to adjust the level of sensitivity for one specific

beam at a time.

For example, if you are only interested in the area between 20 and 50 feet deep,

you should set the Upper Depth Range to 20 and the Lower Depth Range to 50.

The Sonar View will then show the 30 foot area between 20 and 50, and will not

show the surface or the bottom (assuming the bottom is deeper than 50 feet),

and will show greater detail for that area between 20 and 50 feet.

NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range

regardless of the manual settings entered.

To adjust the Upper Range:

1. Make sure you are in Advanced Mode, then highlight Upper Range on the Sonar

X-Press^TMMenu.

Lower Range

Side Beam Range

(WideSide® transducer: WideSide® view only)

Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that will be

displayed. Automatic is the default setting. When in automatic mode, the lower range will be

adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom. Selecting a specific setting locks the depth range

into Manual mode. Use both Upper and Lower Range together to view a specific depth range

are in Manual mode.

Side Beam Range sets the deepest range that will be displayed in the WideSide® View. The

range must be set manually to keep the bottom visible on the display. If the Side Beam Range

is set too deep for current depth conditions the sonar information will become compressed on

the display and valuable detail will be lost. A WideSide® transducer must be connected to the

700 Series™ Fishing System. Side Beam Range menu choice is available when Transducer

Select is set to WideSide® (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select) and can only be accessed

from the WideSide® view.

will be displayed in the lower right

For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in

the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet) you should set the Lower Depth

Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range, allowing you

to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display went all the way

to the bottom.

NOTE: The Side Beam Range requires the purchase of the WideSide® transducer. You can visit our

website at www.humminbird.com to order this accessory online or contact our Customer Resource

Center at 1-800-633-1468.

To adjust the Side Beam Range:

1. Make sure you are in WideSide® Transducer Mode and that a WideSide® transducer is

connected, then highlight Side Beam Range on the Sonar X-Press^TMmenu.

NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range

regardless of the manual settings entered.

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Side Beam

Range setting. (6 - 160 feet or 2 - 50 meters [International Models only], Default = 160 feet

[50 meters])

To adjust the Lower Range:

1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-Press^TMMenu.

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Lower

Range setting. (AUTO, 10 to 1500 feet, 3 to 500 meters [International Models only],

Default = AUTO)

Chart Speed

Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar

information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown. A faster

speed shows more information and is preferred by most anglers; however, the sonar information

moves across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer, but

the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of

the Chart Speed setting, the RTS® Window will update at the maximum rate possible for the

depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.

To adjust the Chart Speed:

1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-Press^TMMenu.

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to increase or decrease the Chart Speed

setting. (1-9, Ultra, where 1 = Slow, 9 = Fast, Ultra = Fastest, Default = 5)

WhiteLine® highlights the strongest sonar returns in white resulting in a distinctive outline. This

has the benefit of clearly defining the bottom on the display.

Bottom Black displays all pixels below the bottom contour as black, regardless of signal strength.

This has the benefit of providing a high contrast between the bottom and other sonar returns on

the display. Any targets such as fish, structure and thermoclines will be shown using the Structure

ID® method.

Fish ID+^TMuses advanced signal processing to interpret sonar

returns, and will display a Fish Symbol when very selective requirements are met. When a fish is

When set to 200/83 kHz, the returns from both beams are blended by starting with the 83 kHz

wide beam return, dimming it, and then overlaying it with the 200 kHz narrow beam return. The

darker 200 kHz wide beam sonar returns will stand out from the paler 83 kHz narrow beam sonar

returns. The Split Sonar View continues to display the sonar returns from each beam in their

respective windows. The blended information is shown in the Sonar View, Sonar Zoom View and

the Big Digits View. The RTS® Window in the Sonar View and the Circular Flasher View will only

show the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam.

Targets detected in the 200 kHz narrow beam are represented as Shaded Fish Symbols, and

targets detected in the 83 kHz wide beam are represented as Hollow Fish Symbols.

When set to 200 kHz, only the returns from the 200 kHz narrow beam will be displayed in the

Sonar View, the Sonar Zoom View, the Big Digits View and the Circular Flasher View. The Split

Sonar View will continue to display returns from both beams in their respective windows. The

When Fish ID+TM is turned off, the Fishing System shows only the raw sonar returns on the

display. These returns will often result in "arches" forming on the display, indicating potential

targets. Due to the transducer beam angle, the distance to a fish decreases as the fish moves into

the beam, and then increases as it moves out again, creating a Fish Arch when this distance

change is shown on the display. Boat speed, chart speed, and the position of the fish within the

sonar beam greatly affect the shape of the arch.

Fish ID Sensitivity

Zoom Width

Fish ID Sensitivity adjusts the threshold of the Fish ID+^TM

detection algorithms. Selecting a higher setting allows weaker returns to be displayed as fish.

This is useful for identifying smaller fish species or baitfish. Selecting a lower setting displays

fewer fish from weak sonar returns. This is helpful when seeking larger species of fish. Fish ID

Sensitivity is used in conjunction with Fish ID+^TM. Fish ID+^TMmust be On for Fish ID Sensitivity to

affect the ability of the Fishing System to identify sonar returns as fish.

Zoom Width adjusts the width of the Zoom window on the

Sonar Zoom View.

To change the Zoom Width Setting:

1. Highlight Zoom Width on the Sonar main menu.

2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to change the Zoom Width setting.

Troubleshooting

1. Make sure you have installed an optional-purchase MMC/SD card into your card slot.

Before contacting the Humminbird®Customer Resource Center, please read the following section.

Taking the time to review these troubleshooting guidelines may allow you to solve a performance

problem yourself, and therefore avoid sending your unit back for repair.

2. From any view you want to capture, press the MARK key. When you start a screen

capture, you will see a message that a waypoint has been created at the point where

your cursor is on the screen, and the screen will freeze. A status dialog box will appear

that shows the progress of the save, and that displays the numbered filename assigned

to the .BMP file that is being created, along with the percentage completed status.

700 Series™ Doesn’t Power Up

If your 700 Series™ doesn’t power up, use the Installation Guide that also comes with it for specific

confirmation details, making sure that:

NOTE: Navigation is not affected by the Screen Snapshot feature. Also, if Screen Sanpshot is enabled

but there is no GPS receiver connected, pressing the MARK key will capture the screen image and

display an error saying that a GPS position fix is required to create a waypoint.

•

the power cable is properly connected to the 700 Series™ control head,

the power cable is wired correctly, with red to positive battery terminal and black to

negative terminal or ground

NOTE: The speed of the capture depends on the type of card you use; in general, SD cards capture

the screen faster than MMC cards do.

•

the fuse is operational

To view screen snapshots:

the battery voltage of the power connector is at least 10 Volts.

1. Make sure that the optional-purchase MMC/SD card used to capture the screens is

installed in your card slot.

Correct any known problems, including removing corrosion from the battery terminals or wiring,

or actually replacing the battery if necessary.

2. Press the VIEW key until you see the Screen Snapshot View.

3. The Screen Snapshot View displays up to three thumbnails of these screen captures at a

time. You can scroll through the whole list of thumbnails of screen captures in this view

using the 4-WAY Cursor keys. The selected thumbnail will be highlighted with arrows.

See the full-sized image by selecting a thumbnail (using the Up or Down 4-Way Cursor

keys), then using the Right 4-Way Cursor key to view the full image. A border around the

full-size screen capture indicates that it is just a screen capture, not a “live” view. You can

delete the selected image, or all captured images, using Delete Image or Delete All

Images from the Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu. (See Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu:

Delete Image and Delete All Images for more information).

700 Series™ Defaults to Simulator with a Transducer Attached

A connected and functioning transducer will cause the newly-started Fishing System to go into

Normal operating mode automatically. If, when you power up the Fishing System, it goes into

Simulator mode automatically, even though a transducer is already connected, this means that

the control head is not detecting the transducer. Perform the following troubleshooting tasks:

•

Using the Installation Guide that also comes with your Fishing System, check to make

sure that the transducer cable is securely connected to the Fishing System. Reconnect if

necessary, and power up the Fishing System again to see if this fixes the problem.

NOTE: You may view data files associated with each screen snapshot by removing the MMC/SD

card from your unit and installing it in your optional-purchase MMC/SD card reader connected to

a PC. Use Windows Explorer to see the contents of your MMC/SD card; you will notice that a .DAT

(may show up as .TXT) file is created for every .BMP screen capture; this data file includes the

thumbnail view, and is required in order to be able to view the screen snapshot from your 700 series

unit, so don’t delete these files.

•

Replace the non-functioning transducer with a known good transducer if available and

power up the control head again.

Check the transducer cable. Replace the transducer if the cable is damaged or corroded.

Display Problems

Finding the Cause of Noise

There are several main conditions or sources of possible interference that may cause problems

with the quality of the information displayed on the control head. Look in the following table for

some symptoms of display problems and possible solutions:

Electrical noise usually affects the display with many black dots at high speeds, and high

sensitivity readings. One or more of the following sources can cause noise or interference:

Possible Source of Noise

Other electronic devices

Isolation

Problem

Possible Cause

Turn off any nearby electronic devices to see if the

problem goes away, then turn them on one at a time to

see if the noise re-appears.

The control head loses power

at high speeds.

If the power output of your boat’s engine is

unregulated, the control head may be protecting itself

using its over-voltage protection feature. Make sure the

input voltage does not exceed 20 Volts.

The boat’s engine

To determine whether the boat’s engine is the source

of the noise, increase the RPMs while the boat is in

neutral and stationary to see if the noise increases

proportionately; if noise appears when you rev the

engine, the problem could be the spark plugs, alternator,

or tachometer wiring. Replace the spark plugs with

resistor plugs, install an alternator filter, or route the

control head power and transducer cables away from the

engine wiring.

When the boat moves at

higher speeds, the bottom

disappears or suddenly

weakens, or the display

contains gaps.

The transducer position may need to be adjusted. A

mix of air and water flowing around the transducer

(cavitation) may be interfering with the interpretation

of sonar data. See your Installation Guide for

suggestions on adjusting the transducer position.

Electrical noise from the boat’s engine may be

interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the Cause

of Noise for more information.

Turbulence created by the propeller can cause noise;

make sure the transducer is mounted at least 15” (38 cm)

from the propeller, and that the water flows smoothly

over the face of the transducer at all times.

Cavitation from the boat’s

propeller

There are no fish detected,

even when you know they are

in the water under the boat,

or sonar readings seem weak

or faulty.

Sonar readings may be affected if the transducer is not

positioned correctly (i.e. mounted at an angle, not

straight down), or there is some kind of mechanical

interference, either because it is mounted inside a hull

that is too thick for proper sonar transmission, the bond

between the transducer and the hull is not airtight, or

because the transducer is dirty. Check with your

Installation Guide for guidance on re-positioning the

transducer, and make sure the transducer is clean.

Low battery voltage may be affecting the power of

signal transmission.

Electrical noise from the boat’s engine may be

interfering with sonar reception. See Finding the Cause

of Noise for more information.

Customizable Digital Readouts: Customizable Digital Readouts is a Humminbird® feature that

permits the user to select the specific digital information that appears in the main Sonar view (i.e.

Speed, Temperature, Barometric Pressure, TripLog, etc.)

Glossary

Sonar Terms:

Dead Zone: The dead zone is the area of the sonar beam that receives the sonar signal after the

main bottom return. Fish and other objects close to the bottom that fall within the dead zone will

probably not be visible in the sonar beam. Precision sonar beams, such as the Humminbird® 20°

beam, have a smaller dead zone than wider sonar beams.

Alarm, Depth: Depth Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds when depth is less

than or equal to the setting.

Alarm, Temperature: Temperature Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds when

the water surface temperature equals the setting.

Decibel: A Decibel is the measurement for sound pressure level, or "intensity" of the sonar return.

See dB Down Point.

Backlight: Backlight is a user-controllable illumination for the LCD for night and low light use.

dB Down Point: The dB Down Point is the standard decibel level at which the sonar cone angle is

measured, and is written as "@ -10 dB" or "@ -3 dB". Measurements at smaller down points (bigger

negative numbers) indicate that the less intensive sonar signals are being used for the

measurement.

Beam (Sonar Beam): A sonar beam is the wide, cone-shaped projection of sound waves formed as

sound travels underwater. See Cone Angle.

Big Digits View: Big Digits View is a Humminbird® feature that displays the sonar graph and

enlarged digital readouts for easy reading from a distance. This is a great tool when monitoring

the digital depth is important - such as with higher boat speeds, or when viewing the unit from a

distance. When speed input is available, the Big Digits View also shows the TripLog. See TripLog.

Display, FSTN: FSTN is an acronym for Film Super-Twist Nematic. FSTN is a monochrome display

technology characterized by black, high-contrast pixels. All monochrome fixed mount

Humminbird® products use FSTN technology.

Bottom Black: Bottom Black is a Humminbird® feature that "fills in" the area of the display below

the bottom contour. Bottom Black is preferred by some anglers because of its high contrast and

easy readability, even though it can obscure bottom hardness information.

DualBeam PLUS™: DualBeam PLUS™ is a Humminbird® sonar configuration that uses two sonar

beams simultaneously, and combines the information from both beams into one view by

overlapping the data on-screen, or shows each beam individually side by side, or permits each

beam to be viewed individually full screen.

Bottom Contour: Bottom Contour is the profile of the bottom graphed to the display as the

depth changes.

Feature Memory: Feature Memory is a Humminbird® feature that retains the user's menu

settings in permanent memory. Settings are retained even when the unit is powered off

indefinitely.

Bottom Hardness: Bottom Hardness is the density (or composition) of the bottom, which can

often be determined by interpreting the main sonar return. Varying levels of hardness can be

determined by interpreting the "thickness" of the sonar return. Hard returns appear thin and

black, softer returns appear thicker and less black. It is important to note that a sonar return from

a sloping bottom can have the appearance of a softer bottom.

Fish Arch: A Fish Arch is the apparent "arch" that appears on the display when any object moves

through the sonar cone. The arch results from a gradual decrease in distance to an object as it

moves into the sonar cone. The distance to an object changes due to the conical shape of the sonar

beam, which causes the distance to be greater at the edges of the beam than at the center of the

beam. When this distance change is graphed on the display, an arch appears.

Cavitation: Cavitation is the effect of air bubbles created as the propeller rotates and the boat

moves through the water.

Chart Speed: Chart Speed is a user-controllable feature that sets the speed at which sonar

information moves across the display. A faster setting displays sonar information from more pings

and shows more detail, but the information moves quickly across the display: a slower setting

permits viewing of more sonar history, but does not display as much detail. The best setting is

often the user's personal choice.

Fish ID+™: Fish ID+™ is a Humminbird® feature that uses advanced sonar processing algorithms

to determine if a detected object is likely to be a fish. When the sonar signal from an object meets

strict parameters, the unit draws a Fish Symbol (or icon) and the digital depth of the target. On

DualBeam and DualBeam PLUS™ units, fish detected in the narrow center beam are shown as

shaded symbols, and fish detected in the wider beam are shown as hollow symbols.

Cone Angle: The cone angle is the angular measurement of the sonar beam at a specific dB down

point (i.e. -10 dB). See dB Down Point.

Fish Symbol: A Fish Symbol is the graphic that is displayed on the screen when Fish ID+

determines that a sonar return is likely to be a fish. See Fish ID+.

Freeze Frame: Freeze Frame is a Humminbird® feature that pauses the sonar scrolling so that the

image on screen can be studied with greater detail. See Instant Image Update.

dot pattern. Electrical noise can be isolated by selectively turning on and off other electrical

devices to determine the source. Often re-routing the power cable, or connecting to an alternative

power supply (second battery) can help overcome electrical noise. Hydrodynamic noise (from

propeller and/or hull cavitation) has a more random appearance and is generally related to boat

speed, so that faster operation results in more noise. Hydrodynamic noise can be overcome by

proper transducer installation. Many Humminbird® products have a Noise Filter menu setting

that allows the user to clear the screen of noise that is difficult to eliminate.

Frequency: Frequency is a measure of the number of sound wave cycles per second of a sound

impulse transmitted underwater. A typical frequency for fishfinders is 200 kHz, which offers a

good balance of performance under many conditions. Lower frequencies, such as 50 kHz, are

capable of penetrating to greater depths, but with less resolution. Higher frequencies, such as 455

kHz, offer greater resolution, but are limited in depth performance. Humminbird® uses a variety

of frequencies that are optimized for specific applications.

Pixels: Pixels are the "picture elements", or small square blocks, that make up the image on the

LCD. Measured as a vertical by horizontal number (i.e. 640V x 320H), this key specification typically

indicates the quality of resolution. In fishfinders, the total resolution (vertical multiplied by

horizontal) is often less important than the "Vertical Pixel" resolution. See Pixels, Vertical.

Grayscale: Grayscale is the use of varying shades of gray to represent the strength of the sonar

signal on the display , and is a very intuitive method of presenting information. Traditionally, the

strongest sonar signals are represented in black, and progressively weaker signals are represented

in progressively lighter shades of gray.

Pixels, Vertical: Vertical Pixels are a number of vertical picture elements in a single column on an

LCD display. A greater number of vertical pixels provide finer resolution of targets detected by

sonar. Essentially, a vertical distance (the depth), when divided by a larger number, breaks that

distance into smaller samples, each representing a smaller area and thus providing more detail. In

fishfinders, vertical pixels are more critical than horizontal pixels because the horizontal axis of the

display represents time, or history. Sonar information on the horizontal axis can vary greatly,

depending on boat speed and the Chart Speed setting. A greater number of horizontal pixels show

more sonar history that the boat has passed through. On many models, Humminbird® provides

the most vertical pixels to provide a better display resolution. See Chart Speed and Pixels.

Grayscale, Inverse: Inverse Grayscale is a Humminbird® feature that reverses the correlation of

sonar signal strength and the shade of gray typically used to represent it. The strongest sonar

signals are represented by "white", and progressively weaker signals are represented in

progressively darker shades of gray. While somewhat counter-intuitive, this method makes the

sonar images crisper, and has the benefit of enhancing the apparent sensitivity because the

weaker signals appear bolder. Inverse grayscale works well in very clear water. Debris-laden water

often appears as a lot of clutter on the screen.

Instant Image Update: Instant Image Update is a Humminbird® feature that updates all the sonar

information on the display when Sensitivity and a variety of sonar settings (Bottom View, Range,

etc.) are modified. This differs from the traditional functionality that only updates the new sonar

information collected after the setting change. Instant Image Update permits more accurate fine-

tuning of the display because the user can see the results on the complete sonar graph. When

combined with the Freeze Frame feature, the user can adjust and understand the effects of many

different sonar settings quickly and easily.

Power Output: Power output is the amount of sound energy emitted into the water by the sonar

transmitter. Power output is measured using either RMS (Root Mean Square) or P-T-P (Peak-to-

Peak) measurement systems. Either method is acceptable, but it is important, when comparing

power outputs, to make sure that the same measurement system is being used for both outputs,

because P-T-P numbers are 8 times higher than RMS numbers. Greater power output allows the

sonar signal to penetrate through weeds and thermoclines, reach deeper depths and operate

more effectively in noisy environments, such as when the boat is running at high speed.

Maximum Depth Menu: The Maximum Depth Menu is a Humminbird® feature that optimizes

performance based on the maximum operational depth set by the user. Many Humminbird®

units can operate across a very broad depth range (up to 2500 feet) which causes the unit to "look"

up to that full depth under some circumstances. Due to the speed of sound in water, this can result

in less responsiveness because the unit has to wait for a longer period of time to receive the sonar

signal. When the Maximum Depth menu is set to a lower value, the unit only looks up to the

setting, which increases the responsiveness of the unit. This is an important feature for anyone

operating in shallower depths!

Pulse Width (Pulse Length): Pulse Width is the length of time that a sonar sound burst is

transmitted into the water. Shorter pulse widths provide better target separation, but cannot

travel to great depths. Longer pulse widths provide better depth penetration, but result in poorer

target separation. Humminbird® varies pulse width based on depth to optimize both target

separation and depth performance. See Target Separation.

QuadraBeam™: QuadraBeam™ is a Humminbird® sonar configuration that uses four sonar beams

for a more detailed bottom image. QuadraBeam™ uses the DualBeam PLUS™ configuration for

downlooking, and also adds two additional beams to look to the left and right. The sonar beams

pointing to the left and right provide the ability to spot fish and structure over a wide 90° area,

and to identify on which side of the boat they are located. See DualBeam PLUS™.

Noise: Noise is unintentional, external sound waves that interfere with the optimal operation of

sonar. Noise appears as random "dots" on the display, and is caused by a variety of sources.

Electrical noise (from trolling motors, bilge pumps, VHF radios) typically manifests as a consistent

Quick Disconnect Mount: The Quick Disconnect Mounting system is an exclusive

Humminbird® feature that permits the unit to be easily removed from the mounting base by

pressing a release button, and re-installed by simply snapping it back into place. All cable

connections are made when installing, so that no separate wiring connections are required.

Additionally, the mount offers 90° tilt and 360° swivel capability to adjust the viewing angle

of the unit as you move about the boat.

Sonar Update Rate: Sonar Update Rate is the number of times per second that the

transmitter/receiver sends and receives sonar signals. A very fast sonar update rate collects more

information and provides a more detailed image of the bottom, fish and structure. Many

Humminbird® units operate at up to 40 times per second when in single frequency operation.

Due to the limitation of the speed of sound in water, the update rate begins to slow as depth

increases to deeper than 50 feet. In very shallow water (less than 10 feet), however, update rates

as much as 60 times per second can be achieved.

Real Time Sonar: Real Time Sonar is a Humminbird® technology that delivers ultra-fast sonar

transmitter/receiver operation and results in a more detailed instantaneous view of what is under

the boat. The Real Time Sonar window is a vertical band at the right side of the display that shows

the instantaneous sonar return from the transducer at a particular instant. The RTS® Window

menu option permits the user to adjust the window to show the full sonar signal return, or just a

narrower band that indicates intensity using grayscale. Real Time Sonar relies on very fast Sonar

Update Rate (Ping Speed). See Sonar Update Rate.

Speed: Speed is the rate at which the boat moves through the water. Boat speed can be measured

as Speed Over Ground or Speed Through Water. Speed Over Ground is provided by GPS, and is the

measurement of the boats progress across a given distance. Speed Through Water is provided by

a speed paddlewheel, and is the measurement of the flow past the boat, which may vary

depending on current speed and direction. Speed Through Water is most critical for anglers using

downriggers, as it impacts the running depth of the down riggers. Speed Over Ground is optimal

for navigation, as accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement.

Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both sources.

Receiver: See Transmitter.

Second Return: The Second Return is a term that describes the appearance of a second sonar

return below the primary sonar return (bottom contour) at exactly twice the true depth. The

second return is caused by the same sonar energy bouncing off the bottom once, rebounding to

the water surface and then traveling back down to the bottom to be reflected again. Second

returns are more common in shallow water and over hard bottoms; it is actually possible to see a

third sonar return under some circumstances. The second return provides useful information to

help determine bottom hardness, as areas with harder bottoms will generally create a second

return. The second return can be used as a guide to set Sensitivity when in shallower water.

Structure: Structure is a general term for objects on the bottom that present a discontinuity and

are a likely attractor for fish. This includes bottom contour features (drop-offs, humps, and holes),

standing structure (stumps, timbers, brush piles) and a wide range of other potential objects

(sunken boats, reefs). Humminbird® units excel at showing structure with great detail over a

wider area due to unique sonar configurations developed for the angler.

Structure ID®: Structure ID® is a Humminbird® feature that describes the traditional grayscale

method of presenting sonar information. See Grayscale.

Surface Clutter: Surface Clutter is a phenomenon where sonar returns are reflected off of tiny

objects near the surface of the water, including algae and even air bubbles. Typically, saltwater

environments have significantly greater surface clutter than freshwater due to continuous wind

and wave action that causes aeration at the surface. The Surface Clutter menu provides manual

control to bias the default settings under extreme conditions.

Sensitivity: Sensitivity is a user feature that adjusts the sensitivity of the sonar system to show

more or less detail in the water. Higher sensitivities are often preferred, however, when the water

contains debris (silt, storm debris, etc.) and it can be difficult to pick out targets. Conversely, if

sensitivity is set too low, relevant targets may be missed.

SONAR: SONAR is the acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar technology uses

precision sound bursts transmitted underwater to determine the distance and other attributes of

objects in the water. Distance can be determined because the speed of sound in water is constant,

and the time for the signal to return is measured. Sound also travels very quickly underwater,

making sonar a responsive, cost-effective tool. Sonar is the basic technology behind all

recreational and commercial fishfinding and depthfinding devices.

Target Separation: Target Separation is the measurement of minimum distance that a

fishfinder needs to be able to recognize two very close objects as two distinct targets (i.e. two

fish hanging very close, or a fish hanging very close to structure). Humminbird® findfinders

provide a very good 2 1/2 inches of target separation in shallower than 100 feet of depth.

Target separation decreases as depth increases due to the need for longer Pulse Width to

achieve greater depth. See Pulse Width.

Sonar Echo Enhancement: Sonar Echo Enhancement is a Humminbird® feature that describes the

high degree of sonar sensitivity achieved through a combination of transmitter/receiver and

software algorithms. The result of Sonar Echo Enhancement is to display virtually everything in

the water that is of interest to the angler, including bait fish, game fish, thermoclines, weed beds,

subtle structure, and more.

Thermoclines: Thermoclines are water layer(s) of distinctly different temperatures that create a

sonar reflection due to the density of the differing water temperatures. Typically a thermocline

will appear as a continuous band across the display at some distance above the bottom contour.

Thermoclines are of interest to anglers because fish will suspend above or below the thermocline

as they seek the optimum temperature and oxygen levels.

Time Variable Gain: Time Variable Gain is a processing step applied to the sonar return to

"normalize" the data so that objects of equal size (i.e. fish) appear to be the same size, even if they

are separated by a good distance. Time Variable Gain is a fundamental attribute of good sonar, but

is often promoted as a feature.

WhiteLine®: WhiteLine® is a Humminbird® feature that highlights the strongest sonar return on

the display using a very light gray band. This is preferred by some anglers who have grown

accustomed to the feature on paper graph chart recorders.

WideSide®: WideSide® is a Humminbird® sonar configuration used in an optional transducer.

WideSide® uses three sonar beams pointing to the left, right and down. Beams pointing to the left

and right are effective for spotting fish and structure near the surface or on the bank. The

downlooking beam provides depth information directly below the boat.

Total Screen Update®: A Humminbird® feature that refreshes and updates all the sonar

information on the display when a range change occurs. Without Total Screen Update®, only the

most recent sonar information would be drawn to the new range, and the old sonar information

would continue to scroll off the screen at the old range.

X-Press™ Menu: X-Press™ Menus are a Humminbird® feature that make the most commonly-used

menu selections available with one press of the MENU key. Items that appear on the

X-Press™ Menu are related to the current view, and present the most logical choices for that view.

Sonar View X-Press™ menus will differ from Chart View X-Press™ menus, etc. X-Press™ menus are

one of the principal reasons that Humminbird® products are easier to use.

Transducer: The transducer is part of the sonar system, which mounts on the boat and is in

contact with the water, that converts the electrical energy from the transmitter into sound energy,

and that forms the sonar beam in turn. Internally, the transducer consists of one or more piezo

electric disks that expand by very minute amounts to create the sound wave. This element also

works in reverse, converting the returned sound energy back into an electrical signal that the

receiver interprets. Transducers are available for many specific mounting applications for the boat,

such as a transom mount, trolling motor mount, etc. Humminbird® offers many sophisticated

transducers, often with multiple piezo electric elements designed to form specifically-shaped

sonar beams, providing the angler with superior tools for finding and catching fish. See

Transmitter and SONAR.

Zoom: Zoom is a feature that focuses in on a smaller area of the bottom to provide enhanced

resolution. With enhanced resolution, the angler can more easily see fish hanging in structure or

multiple fish hanging close together. Split screen zoom divides the display into the full range view

on the right, and the zoomed view on the left. Humminbird® offers One-Touch® Zoom which

allows the zoom feature to be easily accessed from the regular sonar view with just one key press,

eliminating the need to use menus to access the feature.

Transmitter: The transmitter and receiver are matched parts of the sonar system that send

(transmit) and listen to (receive) the sonar signals, and work in conjunction with the transducer.

Humminbird® transmitters have an extremely fast cycling design that can send signals up to 60

times per second, as well as produce the varying levels of power output needed for different

depths and conditions. Additionally, the transmitter has the capability to create very precise sonar

pulses needed for a high degree of target separation. Humminbird® receivers are extremely

sensitive, but within a narrow "bandwidth" to discriminate against noise from external sources.

Additionally, the receiver offers a wide "dynamic range" which provides the ability to receive very

strong signals alternating with very weak signals, without the strong signal overwhelming the

weak signal. See Transducer and Noise.

Zoom, Bottom Lock: Bottom Lock Zoom is a feature that focuses on a smaller area just above

the bottom to provide enhanced resolution. Unlike regular zoom, it continuously graphs the

bottom at a constant point on the display regardless of changes in depth. This "flattens" out

the bottom contour, but is effective at showing fish on or near the bottom, and is preferred by

many saltwater anglers

TripLog: TripLog is a Humminbird® feature that provides an on-screen counter for Elapsed Time,

Average Speed and Total Distance traveled, and requires a speed input to activate the feature.

TripLog appears on the Big Digits View, and can be reset to zero through the TripLog menu.

TrueArch®: TrueArch® is a Humminbird® feature that provides true fish arches, not artificial arches

or symbols. Humminbird® units are capable of producing fish arches due to the wide 60° sonar

beam of DualBeam PLUS™, an extremely sensitive sonar receiver. See Fish Arch.

Viewing Angle: Viewing Angle is an attribute of an LCD that characterizes visibility of the

display when viewing from off the central access, such as when standing to the side of the

fishfinder. Wider viewing angles are better because the information remains visible even

when viewing from the side.

correction signals are provided by the USCG and received by an auxiliary Differential Beacon

Receiver (DBR) that connects to the GPS receiver. The advent of WAAS has largely negated the

need for the added expense of a DBR in the United States.

GPS & Navigation Terms:

Acquisition Time: The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to determine a position

from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers provide very fast acquisition times

(under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water faster.

Distance To Go: Distance To Go is the straight-line distance between Present Position and the

Destination Waypoint. DTG and SOG (Speed Over Ground) are used to calculate Time To Go. See

Time to Go and Speed Over Ground.

Alarm, Arrival: The audible alert that sounds when the boat is equal to or less than the alarm

setting (25 feet–3000 feet) from the location of the destination waypoint.

Estimated Position Error (EPE): Estimated Position Error is a calculation that indicates the

potential position inaccuracy the user may experience due to a variety of GPS factors which

include satellite position in the sky, signal strength and others factors.

Alarm, Drift: Drift Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the boat is equal to or over the

alarm setting (25 feet–3000 feet) from the location where the alarm was turned on.

Alarm, Off-Course: Off-Course Alarm is an audible alert that sounds when the boat’s distance

from the intended Track, (Cross Track Error), is equal to or over the alarm setting (25 feet – 3000

feet). See Track and Cross Track Error.

Fix Type: Fix Type indicates whether the GPS receiver is providing 2D fix or 3D fix. A 2D fix requires

only three satellites and provides only latitude and longitude. A 3D fix requires four or more

satellites, and provides latitude, longitude and altitude.

Altitude: Altitude measures height above sea level. Altitude is a measurement that can be

provided by GPS.

GPS: GPS is an acronym for Global Positioning System. GPS provides accurate position (latitude,

longitude, altitude) information virtually anywhere on the earth through satellite technology and

personal receivers on the ground. A series of geosynchronous satellites broadcast a unique signal

toward the earth once per second. A GPS receiver, such as that included with many Humminbird®

products, receives the signals from these satellites and is able to determine position based on

very slight differences in the time each signal is received and the receiver’s knowledge of the

location of each of the satellites.

Bearing (BRG): Bearing is the direction to a destination waypoint measured in degrees from

North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West).

Chartplotter: Chartplotter describes a navigation device that shows Present Position on a Map,

along with Tracks, Waypoints, and Routes. All Chartplotters are also considered Trackplotters. All

Humminbird® GPS Combo units are Chartplotters. See Trackplotter.

Heading: Heading describes the direction the boat is pointing and is measured in degrees (i.e.

321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). Due to wind and waves, the

boat is often traveling in a slightly different direction than it is heading, and therefore Heading is

often confused with Course Over Ground. See Course Over Ground.

Cold Start: Cold Start refers to the procedure that a GPS receiver must perform when it does not

have historical information regarding its current location. This procedure typically lasts for several

minutes, and may be experienced upon first power up of the receiver, or if the receiver has been

moved a great distance.

Map Datum: A Map Datum refers to a particular survey of the earth’s surface that was referenced

when creating a chart (i.e. WGS84). Since the earth is not flat, and not even consistently round, a

mathematical model must be used to translate coordinates from the sphere of the earth to the

flat surface of a chart. This mathematical model is the Map Datum. Historically, many different

Map Datums have been used around the world to create maps; often a reference to the Map

Datum can be found in the legend of a paper map. It is important to select the correct Map

Datum setting in your fishfinder when comparing GPS position to a paper chart to avoid slight

position inaccuracies. Almost all electronic charts use the WGS84 Map Datum and therefore, they

do not require setting changes.

Course Over Ground (COG): Course Over Ground is the current direction the boat is traveling

measured in degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is

West). When the Course Over Ground is equal to Bearing, the boat is said to be “On Course” and

will arrive at the destination in the most efficient manner. COG is often confused with Heading.

See Heading.

Cross Track Error (XTE): Cross Track Error is the straight-line distance of the boat from the

intended Track. XTE measures how far the boat is off course, and also triggers the Off Course

Alarm. See Track.

MMC: MMC is an acronym for Multi Media Card. An MMC is a postage stamp-sized memory

device used to store electronic data such a maps, waypoints, routes and other information. MMC

is a very rugged format suitable for the marine environment, but it is not waterproof. The MMC

is removable from Humminbird® products, and can be used in a PC that is equipped with an

Differential GPS (DGPS): Differential GPS is a system to improve the position accuracy of the

Department of Defense GPS through the use of secondary “correction signals” broadcast from

ground stations around the coastal United States and on some inland waterways. These

appropriate card reader. MMC is the same format that many digital cameras use. See SD.

navigation because accurate destination times can be derived from this measurement.

Humminbird® products allow for input and display of both speed measurements.

North, Magnetic: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is 000°).

Magnetic North relies on the earth’s magnetic field to align a metal pointer generally towards

True North. However, due to local variations in the earth’s magnetic field around the globe, the

difference between True North and Magnetic North can be greater than 10°. See True North.

Time To Go (TTG): Time To Go is the estimated time required to reach the destination waypoint.

TTG is calculated using the SOG and DTG. See SOG and DTG.

Track: A Track is a series of saved points that define the past path of the boat. These Track Points

are saved at regular time intervals. Tracks are a useful and quick method to see where you’ve

been, and an easy guide to follow to get you back to the starting point. Generally, all GPS units

have a limited number of Track Points that can be saved before the unit runs out of memory and

begins erasing the first track points saved. Because of this, the user can adjust the Track Point

Interval menu to increase the amount of time between when points are saved, and thus extend

the distance covered by a track. Tracks can also be permanently saved to memory, and re-

displayed at the user’s option.

North, True: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is 000°). True North

uses the axis of the rotation of the earth as the reference for North and is constant for all points

on the earth. Most GPS units default to True North as the setting. The GPS heading may vary from

the boat compass heading because the compass uses Magnetic North. Humminbird® GPS units

provide the option of selecting True or Magnetic readouts by using the North Reference menu.

See Magnetic North.

Present Position: Present Position is the current location (latitude, longitude) determined by GPS.

The Present Position is indicated on-screen by a directional boat icon if the boat is moving, or a

round symbol if the boat is stationary.

Track Line (TRK): The Track Line is the desired line of travel between two waypoints, and

represents the most efficient path between the two points because it is a straight line. The TRK is

measured in degrees (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° East, 180° is South, 270° is West). See

Cross Track Error, Course Over Ground.

Route: A Route is series of waypoints linked together in a specific sequence to define a navigation

path between two points, and saved in the fishfinder’s memory. Routes are often used when

frequently traveling between two or more locations because it is a faster and more accurate

method than repeatedly selecting individual waypoints each time one travels through the same

area. Routes consist of a Start Waypoint, an End Waypoint, and a series of waypoints in between.

Users can begin navigation at the beginning, the end (to run the route in reverse) or at any

waypoint in between. See Waypoint.

Trackplotter: Trackplotter describes a navigation device that shows Present Position, along with

Track, Waypoint, and Routes, but NO MAP in the background. See Chartplotter.

Trolling Grid: Trolling Grid is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise reference grid around

a waypoint. This grid is used as a guide pattern for trolling around a specific area to assure a more

efficient and complete coverage of that area. Trolling Grid resolution be changed by zooming in

or out on the chart. The Trolling Grid can also be rotated on the display to orient it for optimal boat

course for wave and wind conditions.

SD: SD is an acronym for Secure Digital. An SD card is virtually identical in function to an MMC;

however, the speed at which information can be accessed is generally faster, the storage capacity

is generally larger, and the card has security features which can be used to prevent extracting the

data from the card. SD is the same format that many digital cameras use. See MMC.

UTC: UTC is an acronym for Universal Time Constant. UTC is the “standard time” used in

navigation, and is the local time in Greenwich England. (UTC is equivalent to Greenwich Mean

Time (GMT)). To display the correct Local Time in a Humminbird® GPS unit, the user must use the

Local Time Zone menu and select the time zone (i.e. EST, CST).

Selective Availability: Selective Availability (SA) is a GPS system “feature” that can be

implemented by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to degrade the accuracy of GPS

positioning information. With SA active, the GPS is accurate to within 100 meters 95% of the

time. With SA inactive, the GPS is accurate to within 45 meters 95% of the time. Currently, SA is

inactive and the consumer can enjoy the greater precision GPS provides; however, the DoD

reserves the right to activate SA at any time.

WAAS: WAAS is an acronym for Wide Area Augmentation System. WAAS is complementary

technology to GPS that provides enhanced accuracy through correction signals broadcast from

Federal Aviation Administration WAAS satellites stationed over the USA. These secondary signals

are automatically received by the standard Humminbird® GPS Receiver. With WAAS signal, GPS

accuracy is improved to within 3 meters 95% of the time. Outside the United States, regional

governmental coalitions have created similar systems such as EGNOS (Europe) and MSAS (Japan).

Speed Over Ground (SOG): Speed Over Ground is the measurement of the boat’s progress across

a given distance, and is the speed measurement provided by GPS. An alternate, Speed Through

Water, is provided by a speed paddlewheel, and is the measurement of the flow past the boat,

which may vary depending on current speed and direction. Speed Over Ground is optimal for

Waypoint: A Waypoint is the saved location (latitude, longitude) of a point of interest that is

stored in a GPS receiver’s memory. This can include a marker buoy, dock, fishing hole or anywhere

else the user may want to return to. Humminbird® products offer the ability to name and assign

a symbol to the saved location. Depth, Date and Time of Day when the waypoint was created is

also saved.

Contact Humminbird®

Waypoint Target: Waypoint Target is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise “bull’s eye”

around a selected waypoint. This bull’s eye is used to easily monitor boat position relative to a

waypoint, and is useful for fishing over submerged structure. With Waypoint Targets, a quick look

at the screen lets you know how far off the waypoint the boat has drifted.
