Do not disassemble or modify the
equipment.
Fire, electrical shock or serious injury
can result.
Immediately turn off the power at the
switchboard if the equipment is
emitting smoke or fire.
Continued use of the equipment can
cause fire or electrical shock. Contact a
FURUNO agent for service.
Do not maneuver the vessel based
on the depth indication alone.
Grounding may result.
Use the proper fuse.
Fuse rating is shown on the equipment.
Use of a wrong fuse can result in
damage to the equipment.
CAUTION
Do no turn on the equipment with the
transducer out of water.
The transducer may be damaged.
The picture is not refreshed when
picture advancement is stopped.
Maneuvering the vessel in this condition
may result in a dangerous situation.
Use the proper gain setting.
Incorrect gain may produce wrong depth
indication, possibly resulting in a
dangerous situation.
NOTICE
A warning label is attached to the
equipment. Do not remove the label.
If the label is missing or damaged,

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Instructions for the Installer
WARNING
Turn off the power at the switchboard
before beginning the installation.
Fire or electrical shock can result if the
power is left on.
Be sure no water leaks in at the transducer or sensor mounting location.
Water leakage can sink the vessel. Also
confirm that the transducer and sensor
will not loosen by ship's vibration. The
installer of the equipment is solely
responsible for the proper installation of
the equipment. FURUNO will assume no
responsibility for any damage associated
with improper installation.
Use the specified power cable.
Use of other power cable may result in
fire.
CAUTION
Do not install the equipment where
air bubbles and noise are present.
Performance will be affected.
The following are guidelines for
handling of the transducer cable.
- Keep fuels and oils away from the
cable.
- Locate it in a safe place.
- Do no paint the cable.
The sheath of the cable is made of
chloroprene rubber (or polychloride vinyl).
For this reason do not paint the cable.
Do not turn on the equipment with the
transducer out of water.
The transducer may be damaged.

We are confident you will see why the
FURUNO name has become synonymous
with quality and reliability.
For over 50 years FURUNO Electric Company has enjoyed an enviable reputation for
innovative and dependable marine electronics equipment. This dedication to excellence is furthered by our extensive global
network of agents and dealers.
This equipment is designed and constructed
to meet the rigorous demands of the marine
environment. However, no machine can perform its intended function unless operated

Thank you for considering and purchasing
FURUNO equipment.
Features
The FURUNO FCV-620/585 is a dual
frequency (50 kHz and 200 kHz) Color LCD
Sounder. Comprised of a display unit and a
transducer, the FCV-620 displays underwater
conditions on a 5.6-inch color LCD and the
FCV-585 on an 8.4-inch color LCD.
The main features of the FCV-620/585 are
• Bright color LCD gives excellent readability
even in broad daylight.
• Waterproof construction permits installation
on open bridge.
• Automatic function being available on
detecting fish school and bottom at both
shallow and deep depth permits best display.
• User-programmable nav data displays provide analog and digital nav data.
• Alarms: Bottom, Fish (bottom lock and
normal), Speed, Water Temperature and
Arrival. (Speed, arrival and water temperature alarms require appropriate sensor.)
• White line feature helps discriminate fish
lying near the bottom.
• Destination waypoint feature provides
range, bearing, and time-to-go to destination waypoint (up to 20 waypoints).

The picture advance speed determines how
quickly the vertical scan lines run across the
screen. When choosing a picture advance
speed, keep in mind that a fast advance speed
will expand the size of the fish school horizontally on the screen and a slow advance speed
will contract it. A fast advance speed is useful
for observing the rugged bottom minutely. A
slow advance speed is useful for observing the
smooth bottom.
