Battery Warnings
WARNING
The Garmin® device uses a user-replaceable, sealed, lead-acid
battery. If these guidelines are not followed, the battery may
experience a shortened life span or may present a risk of
damage to the device, fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak,
and/or bodily injury.
• Do not place the battery near objects that may cause sparks,
flames, or heat.
• Do not incinerate the battery.
• Do not use a sharp object to remove the battery.
• Do not disassemble, puncture, or damage the battery.
• Do not swallow, touch, or inhale the contents of an open
battery. Avoid contact with internal acid. Contact with internal
acid may cause irritation or severe burns. Irritation may occur
to the eyes, respiratory system, and skin. Flush with water at
once if contact is made with acid.
• Do not submerge the battery and avoid contact with water.
• Do not short the battery terminals.
• Do not drop or throw the battery.
• Keep the battery away from children.
• Only replace the battery with the correct replacement battery.
Using another battery presents a risk of fire or explosion of
the device or charger.
• Only charge the battery with the included charger.
• Do not charge the battery in an unventilated area.
• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
• Do not charge the battery in a gas-tight container.
• Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a
high-temperature location, such as in the sun in an
unattended vehicle. To prevent damage, remove the device
from the vehicle or store it out of direct sunlight.
• Do not use organic solvents or other cleaners other than
recommended chemical cleaners on the battery.
• Contact your local waste disposal department to dispose of
the battery in accordance with applicable local laws and
regulations.
• When storing the battery for an extended time, store within
the following temperature range: from 5° F to 104°F (from
-15° C to 40° C).
• Do not operate the battery outside of the following
temperature range: from 5° F to 122° F (from -15° C to 50°
C).
Attaching the Bail Mount
You need a Phillips screwdriver to attach the bail mount to the
portable mount.
1Align the chartplotter bail mount over the hole pattern that
matches your bail mount, with the openings on the top of the
bail mount facing the back of the base.
2Secure the bail mount to the base using the four included 24
mm machine screws and the included washers, if you are
installing a metal bail mount.
NOTICE
Only use the included washers if you are installing a metal
bail mount. If you are installing a plastic bail mount, do not
use the four included washers.
NOTE: Do not use the self-threading screws included with
the chartplotter. Only use the machine-threaded screws
included with this portable kit or use M4 machine screws.
3Place the included rubber washers on the bail-mount
knobs , and screw the knobs into the sides of the cradle or
chartplotter.
4Place the cradle or chartplotter into the bail mount, with the
rubber washers between the knobs and the cradle or
chartplotter, and tighten the knobs.
The rubber washers enable you to adjust the viewing angle
without adjusting the knobs.
Assembling the Panoptix Ice Fishing Mount
You need a Phillips screwdriver and the included 5 mm hex
wrench to assemble the ice fishing mount and attach the
transducer.
1Insert the Phillips head sheet metal screws into the four
corners of the ice mount base.
The screws protrude from the bottom of the base to help
stabilize the mount when it is on the ice.
2Locate the handle and the top pole segment.
3Place the base between the handle and the top pole ,
and screw them together.
GUID-2A0F406E-7D25-4B0C-B287-B0054C5B6EE7 v1July 2020

4Determine how many of the three middle pole segments you
need to use, based on the thickness of the ice.
TIP: The top of the transducer must be below the bottom of
the ice for best performance.
5Screw together the needed segments, with the shortest
segment on the bottom of the pole.
6Use the included hex wrench to attach the transducer to
the bracket with the shoulder screw , flat washer , and
rubber washer .
NOTE: You must fully tighten the shoulder screw to secure
the transducer to the bracket. The recommended torque
applied to the shoulder screw is 2.5 lb-ft. (3.4 N-m).
7Using the hex wrench and the M6 screws , attach the two
halves of the bracket around the pole.
8Use the hook and loop straps to secure the transducer cable
to the pole.
9Position the transducer for the desired view.
TIP: Turn the mount one click to change the orientation from
forward to down .
10Place the mount base around the hole in the ice.
11Rotate the handle to aim the transducer.
Effective Forward and Down Range
NOTE: Water conditions and bottom conditions affect the depth
and range performance of the transducer. You should use
caution and observe the water depth and range, especially when
your unit is operating in manual range or depth mode.
When operating in LiveVü Forward mode, the transducer has an
effective forward range of between five and eight times the
depth of the water. For example, in 3 m (10 ft.) of water, the
effective forward range is between 15 and 24 m (between 50
and 80 ft.). Water conditions and bottom conditions affect the
actual range.
When operating in LiveVü Down mode, the fore/aft range is
equal to the depth of the water. For example, in 10 m (33 ft.)
water depth, the screen will display 5 m (16 ft.) fore and 5 m
(16 ft.) aft of the transducer. Deeper water provides a greater
fore and aft range.
Connecting and Stowing the Cables
CAUTION
Ensure that you connect the correct spade connector to the
correct battery terminal. Damage to the battery or device, or
bodily harm may occur if the device is improperly connected to
the battery.
NOTE: The gray + and - connectors on the power cable are for
connecting to a PS22 transducer.
1Connect the 4-pin power cable and network cable to the
chartplotter.
2If you are connecting a PS22 transducer, connect the power
leads to the gray bare wire connectors on the power cable.
3Slide the positive (red) spade connector onto the positive
(red) terminal on the battery.
4Slide the negative (black) spade connector onto the negative
(black) terminal on the battery.

5If necessary, wrap excess power cable around the open
section on the underside of the portable mount.
6If necessary, wrap excess transducer cable around the hooks
on the side of the handle on the portable mount.
Charging the Battery
CAUTION
Ensure that you connect the correct spade connector to the
correct battery terminal. Damage to the battery or device, or
bodily harm may occur if the device is improperly connected to
the battery.
You should always use the all-in-one cable to charge the
battery.
1Remove the battery terminal covers.
2Connect the red and black spade connectors from the all-in-
one cable onto the corresponding battery terminals.
3Connect the all-in-one cable to the wall charger.
4Connect the wall charger to the wall outlet.
The light on the wall charger is solid orange when the battery is
charging. It takes about 10 to 12 hours in a room-temperature
environment to fully charge a fully discharged battery. When the
light is solid green, the battery is fully charged.
Battery Tips
• The length of time a fully charged battery will last before fully
discharging varies based on many factors, such as device
backlight brightness, the temperature, and the age of the
battery.
• You can lower the backlight brightness level to help extend
the battery life.
• The life expectancy of a sealed, lead-acid battery can be
extended by frequently recharging and not completely
discharging the battery.
• Sealed, lead-acid batteries slowly lose their charge while in
storage. For best results, charge the battery prior to use.
• When used in cold temperatures, sealed, lead-acid batteries
do not hold the charge as long as in warmer temperatures.
• Sealed, lead-acid batteries are completely recyclable.
