How to read raw sonar screen?
When Reading sonar data output you are generally
interpreting color variations. In simple terms, the
sonar 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 sonar 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.

FISHHUNTERFISHFINDERCARE
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 Sonar:
1. After retrieving the sonar from the water,
simply pull up the rubber skin with your
hands/fingers so that it is back to its original
place. Since the sonar is wet, it should be easy
to pull the skin up.
2. Next, rinse the sonar with fresh water
(especially if the sonar has been deployed in
salty water).
3. Make sure the 3 tiny stainless steel pads on
the bottom of the sonar are completely clean and
shiny, and do not have any salt residues on
them.
