IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
General Safety Warnings
1. Keep children and bystanders out
of the area while operating.
2. Do not use when tired or when under the
influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
3. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control in unexpected situations.
4. This product is not a toy. Do not allow
children to play with or near this item.
5. Use as intended only.
6. Inspect before every use; do not use
if parts are loose or damaged.
7. Do not operate more than one Fish
Finder within a 100 ft radius.
8. Fish Finder accuracy will be affected
by amount of debris in water.
9. Have product serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
10. Maintain product labels and nameplates.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
11. The depth gauge feature on this Fish Finder is
intended only as an aid in catching fish; not as a
navigation device. Consult depth charts and pay
attention to posted water depth warnings. This device
should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent
collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury.
12. Do not put the Fish Finder directly near any human
or animal ear. Although the frequency of the
SONAR is well out of the range of human hearing,
there is a chance of damaging the inner ear.
13. Do not use near diving or swimming areas.
14. Do not immerse entire Fish Finder. Immersing
the Display will permanently damage the unit.

do not install batteries of different types,
charge levels, or capacities together.

phthalate (DEHP), a chemical known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects
or other reproductive harm. (California Health
& Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

General Operating Instructions
SONAR (SOund Navigation And Ranging) works by sending out a specific audio signal
that bounces off objects and is then read by the unit to provide a graphic display.
CAUTION: The Transducer can be used directly in the water to look for
Fish, but the Display unit should never be immersed.
1. Press the POWER button on the back of
the unit to turn the Fish Finder on.
2. Adjust the unit viewing angle with hinge.
3. Press the MENU button to bring up the Functions
Menu, then press the Right or Left Arrows to cycle
through options. Press SELECT to choose an option.
4. Options include:
a. Depth Range (“4-10ft” and “10-99ft”). Allows
manual selection of a specific depth to scan. If the
depth of the water is greater than the depth range
setting, the bottom will not be visible on screen.
b. Auto Detect. Updates the reading of
the landscape every ten seconds
c. Sensitivity. Adjusts the level of sonar returns
shown on the Display. A higher number will yield
more returns and find more fish, whereas a lower
number will remove clutter from the Display. The
Fish Finder will not work well in areas where
the water is especially murky or stirred up.
d. LED Backlight Functions, allows the backlight to
be turned on or off. Continuous operation of the
backlight significantly decreases battery lifespan.
e. Speaker volume (which may be
silenced when a fish is detected).
f. Scale Indicator. Used to see where (within
the selected range) the fish may be found.
