1) For general boats, like Carp
Madness, Anatec Monocoque,
you need to drill a hole on the
boat bottom to x the
transducer.
2) For boats of Carplounge/-
Waveruner/ Vegaboat/Carpboat
etc, there is a transducer groove
on the bottom. So, you only need
to simply match the
transducer to
the boat
with a
rubber.
3) For Anatec catamaran bait
boat, there is a transducer
groove on the bottom. So, you
only need simply match the
transducer to the
boat with
a rubber.

1) Drill an hole (5mm diameter)
on the selected position.
2) Install the SMA cable in the
hole and lock the nut of SMA
connector with washer.
3) Screw the antenna on boat.

Antenna Installation
After all the installation are
nished, please connect the

Using Instruction

1. Please do not put the display on ground during the
operation, which could cause a short R/C distance.
It is recommended to install the monitor on a tripod, which
can ensure that the monitor is at least 1.2 meters above the
ground.
2. Make sure the antenna is tighten on the boat, otherwise
the R/C distance will be greatly shorten.

In most time the default setting is enough. However in some situation, to
achieve the best performance of the system, you need adjusting the menu
setting.
Determines how echoes will be displayed on the screen. Increasing the
sensitivity will make you see more details on the screen.
In deep water, increasing the sensitivity. whereas in shallow decreasing the
sensitivity.
1. Sensivity
Wave action, boat wakes, and temperature inversion can cause on screen
clutter near the surface. The surface clarify option reduces surface clutter by
decreasing the sensitivity of the receiver near the surface.
2. Surface Clarify
How to set the Sensivity?
1) Press MENU Key, and use keypad to choose【Sensivity】
2) Press ENT key to conform the selecon.
3) Press UP arrow/Down arrow key to increase/decrease the value.
4) Press ENT key to confirm the seng.

3. Fish ID Sens.
Fish ID. Sens. adjust the threshold of sh size display.
Selecting a higher setting allows weak returns being being displayed as
sh, which is helpful especially when you are intending to nd smaller
sh species or bait sh.
Selecting a low setting will prevent weak sonar returns being displayed as
sh, which will be very helpful when you are seeking large species of sh.
Note: If you hope to nd big sh, please set the value to 1; However if
you hope to nd all the sh, including small ones, set the value to 9.
4. Sonar Gain.
The gain controls the sensitivity of the hardware receiver. A higher gain
makes the sonar more sensitive to echo returns, allowing it to display
weaker targets.
If the gain is set too high, the image might be cluttered with background
noise.

5. Radio Bind
For the TF520, each SonarBox has an "Identity Card". It only can be
connected with one monitor. And for all the TF520 we sold, the
autorization process has been done in advance by our factory.
However, in some cases you may mix the monitor and the SonarBox.
Then you need do the radio bind as following instruction:
How to make Radio Bind?
1) Enter【Radio Bind】menu, a message shown to remind you to
power on the SonarBox.
2) Power on the SonarBox, device will make radio bind automatically.
Note: before making Radio Bind, please power o the SonarBox in
advance.
