Thank you for choosing Humminbird®, the #1 name in marine electronics. Humminbird has built its reputation by designing and
manufacturing top quality, thoroughly reliable marine equipment. We encourage you to read this operations manual carefully in
order to get the full benefit from all the features and applications of your Humminbird product.
Contact Humminbird Technical Support through our Help Center at https://humminbird-help.johnsonoutdoors.com/hc/en-us.
WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to
prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury.
When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to
allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow
speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.
WARNING! The electronic chart is an aid to navigation designed to
facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace
them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners
contain all of the current information needed for the safety of
navigation, and the captain is responsible for their prudent use.
WARNING! Humminbird is not responsible for the loss of data files
(waypoints, routes, tracks, groups, recordings, etc.) that may occur
due to direct or indirect damage to the unit’s hardware or software.
It is important to back up your fish finder’s data files periodically.
Data files should also be saved to your computer before restoring
the fish finder defaults or updating the software. Visit our Web site
at humminbird.com and download your fish finder operations
manual for details.
WARNING! Do NOT delete or change the AC folder, LkMaster folder,
or SI folder when saving an AutoChart Zero Line region map to an
SD or microSD card.
NOTE: Some features discussed in this manual require a separate
purchase. Every effort has been made to clearly identify those
features.
NOTE: The illustrations in this manual may not look the same as
