[. . . ] Always remove batteries from the compartment when storing the unit because dead batteries can leak and corrode the contacts. In cold weather the efficiency of dry cell batteries drops with the temperature. We find it a good idea to have the batteries and the sonar unit good and warm before we leave home. If the batteries do lose a charge, you can sometimes restore them by placing them in a warm room or car interior. A better way is to replace them with batteries that have been kept warm. WARNING: Never heat batteries over an open flame or direct hot air onto them. Portable Transducer Assembly Assemble the transducer and portable bracket as shown in the following illustrations. Make sure there is one washer on each side of the transducer, inside the bracket. Screw the suction cup onto the bracket using the supplied screw and flat washer. When using the transducer, tie the other end of the nylon cord to the boat. 31 Tie nylon cord here Suction cup Screw Bolt Washer Nut Washer Transducer Portable transducer assembly: rear view (left) and side view (right). Clean the chosen area of the hull before attaching the suction cup. Don't let the bracket extend below the hull, because water pressure against it can cause the suction cup to come off at speed. NOTE: For optimum operation, the portable transducer should be adjusted so that it is parallel to the ground. For more information on this, see the segment in the unit's operation manual on Transducer Orientation and Fish Arches. Moisten the suction cup, then press it onto the hull as firmly as possible. Tie the nylon cord to the boat and set the power pack and sonar unit in a location for easy viewing. Your portable sonar is now ready for use. 32 Hull Portable transducer installed on boat transom. Portable Transducer Storage There is room inside the power pack for the portable transducer. When you're finished fishing, tilt the sonar down to the storage position. Wrap the transducer cable around the suction cup, then stow the transducer on top of the battery compartment cover. Close the case and your equipment is ready for transport. Stow transducer on top of battery cover. 33 Notes 34 Operation Keyboard Basics The unit sounds a tone when you press any key.
