Introduction
Thank you for buying an Lowrance
sonar! Your unit is a high-quality
sonar designed for both professional and novice fishermen. All
Lowrance sonars have an automatic mode that finds and displays the
bottom, fish, underwater structure and more – right out of the box. All
you have to do is press the on (
PWR) key.
To get started with your Lowrance sonar, first read the installation sec-
tion. It contains instructions for mounting the sonar unit, the trans-
ducer and any optional accessories, such as a speed sensor.
Following recommended installation practices will pay off in optimum
performance of your Lowrance sonar. Improper installation can cause
problems down the road, especially if the transducer is badly mounted.
After you've read the installation instructions, install the unit and ac-
cessories. Then, read the rest of the manual. The more you know about
your sonar, the better it will work for you.
