1. Connect the main unit to a 12-volt battery using the power cable supplied with your unit. You may extend this cable as necessary, but you must observe proper polarity (i.e., RED is positive and BLACK is negative). 2. Connect the BLACK wire to the negative (-) battery terminal. 3. Connect the RED wire to the positive (+) battery terminal. 4. Make sure the connections are clean and tight so they do not vibrate loose during the boat's operation. Occasionally clean any accumulated corrosion from the battery terminals. 5. If for some reason the fuse is blown, replace with a 1 amp fuse, normal blow. DO NOT OVER FUSE! The unit consumes 0.25 amps of current when it is on. You will want to keep your battery fully charged. INSTALLING THE TRANSDUCER The three most popular transducer styles are: • TRANSOM MOUNT - Ideal on boats with outboard engines, or on I/O driven boats. • THROUGH-THE-HULL - Ideal for boats with Inboard engine(s). • INSIDE-THE-HULL - Often called "Shoot Through Transducer"; it can be used effectively if installation procedures are followed carefully. TRANSOM MOUNT TRANSDUCERS Selecting An Installation Location Mount the transducer fairly close to the centerline (keel) of the boat, which will ensure minimum potential aeration over the acoustic window of the transducer.

Selecting An Installation Location
Mount the transducer fairly close to the centerline (keel) of the boat,
which will ensure minimum potential aeration over the acoustic window
of the transducer.
On twin drive installations
, install the transducer
between the drives.
On single drive installations
, you should mount the transducer bracket on
the side of the boat where the propeller blade is rotating downwards.
