internal GPS receiver.
How Sonar Works
Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 1100 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to
locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below
the transducer.
Your 1100 Series™ Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by
measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is
reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and
composition of an object.
Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back
again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal.
SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar
utilizes precision sound pulses or "pings" which are emitted into
the water in a teardrop-shaped beam.
The sound pulses “echo” back from objects in the water such as
the bottom, fish, and other submerged objects. The returned
echoes are displayed on the LCD screen. Each time a new echo is
received, the old echoes are moved across the LCD, creating a
scrolling effect.
1
Introduction
When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret
“graph” of the bottom, fish, and structure appears.
The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies
depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455 kHz) are
used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited.
High frequencies (200 kHz) are commonly used on consumer
sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance
and resolution. Low frequencies (83 kHz) are typically used to
achieve greater depth capability.
Introduction
The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar
transmitter. It is commonly measured using two methods:
• Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over the
entire transmit cycle.
• Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest points.
The benefits of increased power output are the ability to detect
smaller targets at greater distances, ability to overcome noise,
better high speed performance, and enhanced depth capability.

(1199ci HD SI Combo models only)
Your 1199ci HD SI Combo Fishing System uses
Side Imaging® sonar to provide a wide yet precise
survey of a large area of water, including detailed
bottom topography and fish-attracting structure
orientation. The Side Imaging® transducer returns
are processed into an image similar to an aerial
photograph.
Typically, the Side Imaging® sonar can search an
area that is 480 feet wide (240 to each side), with a
typical depth performance of 150 feet when the
Side Imaging® Sonar frequency is set for 455 kHz.
The side beams can be operated at one of two
frequencies: 455 kHz or 800 kHz. Selecting 800 kHz
produces the sharpest image but the search area to
each side and the depth capability are limited as
compared to the 455 kHz frequency. See What’s on
the Side Imaging® Display and Understanding
the Side Imaging® Display for more information.
The Side Imaging® transducer also provides down
imaging views on the screen. See What’s on the
Down Imaging® Display for more information.
DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar
(1159ci HD, 1199ci HD SI)
The 1159ci HD and 1199ci HD SI Fishing Systems
use a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUS™ sonar system
with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam
PLUS™ sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center
beam, surrounded by a second beam of 60°,
expanding your coverage to an area equal to your
depth. In 20 feet of water, the wider beam covers
an area 20 feet wide. DualBeam PLUS™ sonar
returns can be blended together, viewed
separately, or compared side-by-side. DualBeam
PLUS™ is ideal for a wide range of conditions from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and
salt water. Depth capability is affected by such
factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom
hardness, water conditions and transducer
installation.

(1159ci HD DI only)
Your 1159ci HD DI Fishing System uses Down
Imaging® technology. The Down Imaging®
transducer scans the water with razor-thin, highdefinition beams. The beams are wide (side to side)
but very thin front to back.
The Down Imaging® beams can be operated at two
frequencies: 455 kHz (75°) or 800 kHz (45°). Select
455 kHz for the best overall image quality and
depth. Select 800 kHz for the sharpest image. See
Sonar Menu Tab: Imaging Frequency for more
information.
The transducer also uses conical beams to provide
data in traditional 2D format (see What’s on the

Introduction
Xtreme Depth Sonar
(Xtreme Depth Series™ models only [1159ci HD XD])
The 1159ci HD XD Combo Fishing System uses
the XD transducer to provide extreme depth
coverage with DualBeam PLUS™ technology.
The Xtreme Depth sonar beams can be operated at
two frequencies: 50 kHz (74°) and 200 kHz (20°).
The wide, 50 kHz beam transmits at a low
frequency to provide greater depth coverage, up to
3280 ft (1000 m). The narrow, 200 kHz center beam
transmits at a high frequency to provide maximum
detail at shallower depths.
The DualBeam PLUS™ technology allows you to
view the sonar returns blended together,
separately, or side-by-side (see Sonar Menu Tab:
Beam Select and Views for more information).
Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat
speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water
conditions, and transducer installation.

two fan-shaped 35° 455 kHz Side Structure
locating sonar beams to spot fish, bait, and
structure to the left and right of the boat over an
area of the bottom that’s always equal to twice
your depth.
For a detailed view below the boat, QuadraBeam
PLUS™ uses DualBeam PLUS™ technology, with
precision 20° and wide 60° beams. QuadraBeam
PLUS™ finds more fish faster and can even tell you
where to put your bait by showing if fish are to the
left, right, or directly beneath your boat.

compatible w/optional-purchase Minn Kota® trolling motors)
How GPS and Cartography Work
Your Fishing System also supports GPS (Global Positioning System) and chartplotting. It uses
GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater
information.
GPS uses a constellation of satellites that continually send radio
signals to the earth. The GPS receiver receives signals from
satellites that are visible to it. Based on time differences between
each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to
each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver
mathematically triangulates its own position. With 5 updates per
second, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.
GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its
highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 4.5 meters, depending on conditions.
This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 4.5 meters of your
actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area
Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and
MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area.
The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the Fishing System:
• View current position
• View current track (breadcrumb trail)
• View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver
• Save tracks, waypoints, and routes
• Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next
