Introduction
We encourage you to read this manual carefully in order to understand
360 Imaging and how to use this umminbird advanced accessory on the water.
Some of the equipment requirements and menu options depend on the type of
mount you have installed. Whether you have a Transducer Deployment System or a
Trolling Motor Mount, every effort has been made to clearly identify those features
throughout this manual.
Important Information
Before you use the 360 Imaging transducer on the water, it is important to
understand the following:
SPEED
The 360 Imaging transducer pod can be used in the water at 0 to 7 mph. The
transducer pod should NOT be in the water during high speed travel.
OBSTRUCTIONS
Be aware of obstructions in the water that could damage the transducer pod.
Also be aware of bridges or anything above the boat that could damage the
Transducer Deployment System.
MAINTAINING POWER
The Transducer Deployment System must stay powered ON while the boat is
underway to keep the pod retracted and fully stowed.
POWERING OFF
When the boat is at dock or in storage, the 360 Imaging transducer should be
turned off to prevent draining the battery. See Power Off for more information.
POD COVER
The pod cover must be installed on the Transducer Deployment System for
trailering and storage. See Power Off for more information.
SETTING UP THE CONTROL HEAD
The control head must be set up correctly to add the 360 Imaging features to the
Menu System and View Rotation. See Set up the Network and 360 Imaging
Alarms.

360 Im ging Son r
The 360 Imaging transducer scans the water with razor-thin, rotating beams. These
455 k z, high-definition beams sweep a very wide area of water around and below
your boat. The beams are wide from side to side but very thin from front to back.
The 360 Imaging rotating beams can also be set to provide Side Imaging and Down
Imaging views on the screen. See Set up the Network and 360 Imaging Alarms
and Views for more information.
NOTE: The transducer’s performance is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave
action, bottom hardness, water conditions, and installation.

How 360 Im ging Works
The 360 Imaging Transducer Deployment System deploys the transducer pod into
the water, past the hull, prop, and other obstructions. The beams sweep to provide
an unobstructed, 360° view of the area around and below your boat. If you have the
Trolling Motor 360 Imaging, the transducer pod deploys into the water with the
trolling motor.
As it sweeps, the 360 Imaging transducer scans the water with its razor-thin, high-
definition beams. Visualize the 360 Imaging beams as a thin sonar wall extending
150 feet to either side of your boat. This wall rotates to create a 300-foot circle.
Introduction

Sweep ine Sonar Returns
The sweep line on the 360 Imaging display reveals detailed sonar returns in real
time. The historical returns remain on the display until the beams sweep again. You
can use the light and dark parts of the display to interpret the objects under your
boat as follows:
•Dark shades represent soft returns (mud, sand) or descending terrain.
•ight shades represent denser terrain (timber, rocks) or rising terrain. A very
hard bottom may appear as white on the display.
•White Streaks or Clouds may represent fish on the display.
•Shadows: An object that is standing on the bottom will appear as a clearly
defined bright shape with an adjacent dark sonar “shadow.” The longer the
shadow, the taller the object. Fish may also cast shadows. You can use the
shadow to interpret where the fish or object is located in relation to the
bottom.

How GPS Works
Your umminbird uses GPS to determine your position
and display it on a grid or chart.
GPS uses a constellation of satellites that continually
send radio signals to the earth. The GPS receiver on
your boat receives signals from satellites that are
visible to it. Based on time differences between each
received signal, the GPS receiver determines its
distance to each satellite. With distances known, the
GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own
position. With 5 updates per second, the GPS receiver
then calculates its velocity and bearing.
GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take
advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/–2.5
meters, depending on your conditions and your umminbird model. This means that
95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within
+/–2.5 meters of your actual position.
Your GPS receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation
System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and
MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in
your area.

How the He ding Sensor Works
The magnetic compass is one of the first known
instruments for navigation. It relies on the earth’s
magnetic field to align a magnetic pointer towards
North, also known as Magnetic North.
With the GPS Receiver/ eading sensor installed, the
control head will display the heading from the internal
compass in digital format. The eading is the direction
the boat is pointing, where 000° is North, 090° is East,
180° is South, and 270° is West.
Due to wind and waves, the boat is often traveling in a slightly different direction
than its heading. The direction of travel, or Course Over Ground, is provided by the
GPS receiver. You can use the compass eading with the GPS Course Over Ground
and Bearing to navigate a route.
A compass’ Magnetic North is affected by the local variations in the earth’s
magnetic field around the globe. Nautical charts will often provide the magnetic
declination, or magnetic variation, for a local area so that you can confirm that
Magnetic North matches True North. If you have trailered the boat to a new
location, the compass’ operation may also be affected by a different magnetic zone.
The umminbird control head compensates for magnetic declination and also
allows you to make additional adjustments from the Menu System.
