Understanding the Display – Raw
How to read raw view screen?
When Reading sonar data output you are generally interpreting
color variations. In simple terms, the fishfinder will display more
dense material with darker colors.
We have provided you with a sample screen on the left here that
shows the surface, the water body, a small “disturbance/object”
in the center of the screen and the bottom contour.
1. Ultrasound transmission line. On the screen, this would be
considered the water surface.
2. BLUE - The color blue means that there is nothing (no object)
there to reflect sound and therefore is a light color.
3. GREEN - All colors except blue (such as green, yellow or red)
indicate that there is something in that space. Darker the color
the more dense the material the fishfinder is picking up.
4. This shows the variation of color which indicates a variation
of the density of the material being seen. In this case it is the
bottom of the water.

FishHunter Fishfinder Care
Please operate this device where the temperature is between
-30ºC and 40º C (-22ºF to 104º F). Extreme low or high temperature
conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause the
device to alter its behavior to regulate its temperature.
Store the device where the temperature is between -5ºC and
30º C (23ºF to 86º F). Don’t leave the device in your car, because
temperature in parked cars can exceed this range.
Taking Care of the fishfinder:
1. After retrieving the fishfinder from the water, simply pull up
the rubber skin with your hands/fingers so that it is back to its
original place. Since the fishfinder is wet, it should be easy to
pull the skin up.
2. Next, rinse the fishfinder with fresh water (especially if the
fishfinder has been deployed in salty water).
3. Make sure the 3 tiny stainless steel pads on the bottom of the
fishfinder are completely clean and shiny, and do not have any
salt residues on them.
4. Dry the fishfinder completely with a dry towel before charging
or putting it in storage.
