(Feet/F, Meters/C, Fathoms/C, Default = Meters/C, where F stands for Fahrenheit and C stands for Celsius) Scroll through all SetUp menu choices to exit the SetUp menu. SideFinder™ (Setting Saved in Memory, Downlooking and SideFinding™ Sonar Units only) Press the POWER-MENU key until SIDEFINDER appears. Select either OFF or ON to display the SideFinder™ window on the screen (Off, On, Default = Off) SideFinder™ Range (Setting Saved in Memory, Downlooking and SideFinding™ Sonar Units only) Press the POWER-MENU key until SIDEFINDER RANGE appears. Select the desired range for the SideFinder™ beam. (30, 60, 90, 120, Default = 30) SideFinder™ Filter (Setting Saved in Memory, (Downlooking and SideFinding™ Sonar Units only) Press the POWER-MENU key until SIDEFINDER FILTER appears. The sidefinder filter is used to reduce false markings from submerged objects like pier poles and submerged branches. The filter is best used around docks and other shoreline structures where false markings might occur. In most situations, and especially in open water, the best performance is obtained with the filter turned off. Select either Off on On (Off, On, Default = Off) Maintenance Your Fishin’ Buddy® is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation with virtually no maintenance. Follow these simple procedures to ensure your Fishin’ Buddy® continues to deliver top performance. If the unit comes into contact with salt spray, wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth dampened in fresh water. Do not use a chemical glass cleaner on the lens - this may cause cracking in the lens. When cleaning the LCD protective lens, use a chamois and non-abrasive, mild cleaner. Do not wipe while dirt or grease is on the lens. Be careful to avoid scratching the lens. If your transducer remains in the water for long periods of time, marine growth can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically clean the face of the transducer with liquid detergent. If your transducer remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take some time to wet the transducer when returned to the water. Small air bubbles can cling to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper operation. These bubbles dissipate with time, or you can wipe the face of the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water. Never leave the unit in a closed car or trunk—the extremely high temperatures generated in hot weather can damage the electronics. Troubleshooting Do not attempt to repair the Fishin’ Buddy® yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, and special tools and techniques are required for assembly to ensure the waterproof integrity of the housing. Repairs should be performed only by authorized Humminbird® technicians. Many requests for repair received by Humminbird® involve units that do not actually need repair. These units are returned “no problem found.” If you have a problem with your Fishin’ Buddy®, use the following troubleshooting guide before calling the Customer Resource Center or sending your unit in for repair. 1. Nothing happens when I turn the unit on. Check the power cable connection at both ends. Check the power connection to the Fishin’ Buddy®. It is possible to force the power cable connector into the cable holder incorrectly. If the connector is reversed, the unit will not work. Examine the contacts on the back of the unit to ensure there is no corrosion. Check the unit’s batteries; try changing the batteries. 2. There is no transducer detected. The Fishin’ Buddy® has the ability to detect and identify that a transducer is connected. When powering on, if a message indicates “transducer not connected”, make sure that an appropriate transducer connector is plugged into the unit. In addition, inspect the transducer for breaks, kinks, or cuts in the outer casing of the cable. Also make sure that the transducer is fully submerged in water. If none of these actions identifies an obvious problem, the transducer itself is probably at fault. Be sure to include the transducer if returning the unit for repair. 3. There is no bottom reading visible on the display. In very deep water, it may be necessary to increase the sensitivity setting manually to maintain a graphic depiction of the bottom. The batteries may also need to be replaced. If none of these actions identifies an obvious problem, the transducer itself may be at fault. Be sure to include the transducer if returning the unit for repair. 4. When in very shallow water, I get gaps in the bottom reading and inconsistent digital depth indication. The Fishin’ Buddy® will work reliably in water 3 feet (90 cm) or deeper. Remember that the depth is measured from the transducer, not from the surface of the water. 5. The display begins to fade out. Images are not as sharp as normal. Try adjusting the contrast setting on the Monochrome Models. If this does not help, replace the batteries.. 6. The display shows many black dots. You are seeing noise or interference cau...
