1100 Series™ Introduction
Your 1100 Series™ Ultra Wide Screen Fishing System comes in several different configurations.
See the following list of products, all of which are covered by this manual, to find your
1100 Series™ configuration:
• Humminbird® 1158c Combo: Ultra wide screen Fishing System with ualBeam PLUS™
sonar and chartplotting. GPS receiver included.
• Humminbird® 1158c DI Combo: Ultra wide screen Fishing System with own
Imaging™ Sonar, traditional 2 sonar, and Chartplotting. GPS Receiver included.
•Humminbird® 1198c SI Combo: Ultra wide screen Fishing System with Side Imaging®
Sonar, ualBeam PLUS™Sonar, own Imaging™ Sonar, and chartplotting. GPS receiver
included.
How Sonar Works
Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 1100 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to
locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below
the transducer.
Your 1100 Series™ Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by
measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is
reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and
composition of an object.
Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back
again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal.
SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar
utilizes precision sound pulses or "pings" which are emitted into
the water in a teardrop-shaped beam.
The sound pulses "echo" back from objects in the water such as
the bottom, fish, and other submerged objects. The returned
echoes are displayed on the LC screen. Each time a new echo is
received, the old echoes are moved across the LC , creating a
scrolling effect.
1Introduction

When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret
“graph” of the bottom, fish, and structure appears.
The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies
depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are
used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited.
High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer
sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance
and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to
achieve greater depth capability.
The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar
transmitter. It is commonly measured using two methods:
•Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over the
entire transmit cycle.
•Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest points.
The benefits of increased power output are the ability to detect
smaller targets at greater distances, ability to overcome noise,
better high speed performance, and enhanced depth capability.
Introduction 2

High Definition Side Imaging® Sonar
(1198c SI Combo models only)
Your 1198c SI Combo uses Side Imaging®sonar to
provide a wide yet precise survey of a large area of
water, including detailed bottom topography and
fish-attracting structure orientation. The Side
Imaging®transducer returns are processed into an
image similar to an aerial photograph.
Typically, the Side Imaging® sonar can search an
area that is 480 feet wide (240 to each side), with a
typical depth performance of 150 feet when the
Side Imaging® Sonar frequency is set for 455 kHz.
The side beams can be operated at one of two
frequencies: 455 kHz or 800 kHz. Selecting 800 kHz
produces the sharpest image but the search area to
each side and the depth capability are limited as
compared to the 455 kHz frequency. See What’s on
the Side Imaging® Display and Understanding
the Side Imaging® Display for more information.
The Side Imaging® transducer also provides down
imaging displays on the screen. See What’s on the
Down Imaging™ Display for more information.
DualBeam P US™ Sonar
(1158c, 1198c SI)
Your 1100 Series™ Fishing System uses a 200/83
kHz ualBeam PLUS™ sonar system with a wide
(60°) area of coverage. ualBeam PLUS™ sonar
has a narrowly focused 20° center beam,
surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding
your coverage to an area equal to your depth. In 20
feet of water, the wider beam covers an area 20
feet wide. ualBeam PLUS™ sonar returns can be
blended together, viewed separately, or compared
side-by-side. ualBeam PLUS™ is ideal for a wide
range of conditions - from shallow to very deep
water in both fresh and salt water. epth capability
is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave
action, bottom hardness, water conditions and
transducer installation.

Down Imaging™ Sonar
(1158c DI only, X T 9 DI T)
Your 1158c DI Fishing System uses own
Imaging™ technology. The own Imaging™
transducer scans the water with razor-thin, high-
definition beams. The beams are wide (side to side)
but very thin front to back.
The own Imaging™ beams can be operated at
two frequencies: 455 kHz (75°) or 800 kHz (45°).
Select 455 kHz for the best overall image quality
and depth. Select 800 kHz for the sharpest image.
See Down Imaging™ X-Press™ Menu: Imaging
Frequency for more information.
The transducer also uses conical beams to provide
data in traditional 2 format (see What’s on the
Sonar View). Select 455 kHz for a narrowly focused
16° center beam, or select 200 kHz for a wider 25°
beam (see Sonar Menu Tab: Beam Select).
epth capability is affected by such factors as boat
speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water
conditions and transducer installation.
QuadraBeam P US™ Sonar
(optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer
only [1158c and 1198c SI only])
Your Fishing System supports the optional-
purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer.
QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar provides a wide (90°)
area of coverage. QuadraBeam PLUS™ starts with
two fan-shaped 35° 455 kHz Side Structure
locating sonar beams to spot fish, bait, and
structure to the left and right of the boat over an
area of the bottom that’s always equal to twice
your depth.
For a detailed view below the boat, QuadraBeam
PLUS™ uses ualBeam PLUS™ technology, with
precision 20° and wide 60° beams. QuadraBeam
PLUS™ finds more fish faster and can even tell you
where to put your bait by showing if fish are to the
left, right, or directly beneath your boat.

Universal Sonar 2
Your 1100 Series™ Fishing System supports Universal Sonar 2, a state-of-the-art, integrated and
protected transducer that is built into the lower unit of Minn Kota® trolling motors. With
Universal Sonar 2, all wiring is concealed inside the indestructible composite shaft—out of
sight and out of harm’s way, with no clamps, ties, or exposed wires. Universal Sonar 2 features
new temperature sensing and the performance of ualBeam PLUS™ technology. An expanded
view and greater bottom detail gives you a totally new perspective of the water below, along
with optimal sonar performance to help you find fish.
How GPS and Cartography Work
Your Fishing System also supports GPS (Global Positioning System) and chartplotting. It uses
GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater
information.
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 once per
second updates, 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 +/- 4.5 meters, depending on conditions.
This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 4.5 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.
The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the Fishing System when it is
connected to the included GPS receiver:
• View current position
• View current track (breadcrumb trail)
• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver
• Save tracks, waypoints, and routes
• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next
See Chart View and SD Memory Card Slots: Add Maps to Your Fishing System for more
information.
