Understanding the Display – Raw

How to read raw view screen?

When Reading sonar data output you are generally
interpreting color variations. In simple terms, the
fishfinder will display more dense material with
darker colors.

We have provided you with a sample screen on the
left here that shows the surface, the water body, a
small “disturbance/object”
in the center of the screen and the bottom contour.

1. Ultrasound transmission line. On the screen,

this would be considered the water surface.

2. BLUE - The color blue means that there is

nothing (no object) there to reflect sound and
therefore is a light color.

3. GREEN - All colors except blue (such as green,

yellow or red) indicate that there is something
in that space. Darker the color the more dense
the material the fishfinder is picking up.

4. This shows the variation of color which

indicates a variation of the density of the
material being seen. In this case it is the
bottom of the water.

Fishhunter Fishfinder Care

Please operate this device where the temperature
is between -30ºC and 40º C (-22ºF to 104º F).
Extreme low or high temperature conditions might
temporarily shorten battery life or cause the device
to alter its behavior to regulate its temperature.

Store the device where the temperature is between

-5ºC and 30º C (23ºF to 86º F). Don’t leave the

device in your car, because temperature in parked
cars can exceed this range.

Taking Care of the fishfinder:

1. After retrieving the fishfinder from the water,

simply pull up the rubber skin with your
hands/fingers so that it is back to its original
place. Since the fishfinder is wet, it should be
easy to pull the skin up.

2. Next, rinse the fishfinder with fresh water

(especially if the fishfinder has been deployed
in salty water).

the bottom of the fishfinder are completely
clean and shiny, and do not have any salt
residues on them.

4. Dry the fishfinder completely with a dry towel

before charging or putting it in storage.
