About this manual
This manual is a reference guide for operating a Hook Reveal Series
unit. Because of size differences, screenshots of menus and dialogs
may not match the look of your unit.
These units are only capable of the sonar views and frequencies
indicated in the specification included in the transducer’s
installation guide for the transducer provided with the unit.
Transducers added via one of the optional transducer adapter
cables will still only have the available views and frequencies that
the display is designed to work with. Airmar transducers are not
supported via the adapter cable.
In the manual, important text that requires special attention from
the reader is emphasized as follows:
ÚNote: Used to draw the reader’s attention to a comment or
some important information.
Warning: Used when it is necessary to warn
personnel that they should proceed carefully to
prevent risk of injury and/or damage to equipment/
personnel.
