WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects.

WARNING! The electronic chart in your Humminbird® unit is an aid to navigation designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners contain all of the current information needed for the safety of navigation, and the captain is responsible for their prudent use.

WARNING! Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be performed by authorized service personnel. Any modification of the serial number or attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories by unauthorized individuals will void the warranty.

WARNING! This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or reproductive harm.

Introduction

This manual will guide you through the following network setup instructions:

1. Connect two Humminbird® units together

2. Power On

3. Configure your Humminbird® Ethernet Network

4. Share Waypoints

Alarms, navigation, sonar data, and the menu system are all affected by the Ethernet network settings. We encourage you to read this manual completely so that you may understand the full capabilities of your Humminbird® Ethernet network.

Introduction

1. Installing an Ethernet Connection

If your Humminbird® control head has a built-in Ethernet connector, the unit can be connected to the Ethernet network. When you connect the units together, data is shared between the two units.

Before you start, please note that the Ethernet network installation has the following requirements:

• Update Software: If your network includes a legacy Humminbird® model, download the latest software update from your account at humminbird.com. Legacy models include 858c, 898c SI, 998c SI, 958c, and 1100 Series™ units.

• Install the control heads and sources (GPS, transducers, temp/speed accessories, etc.) for your Fishing System. See the equipment installation guides for details.

• Purchase Ethernet Connection Cables (separate purchase required): Your network configuration will determine which Humminbird® connection cables you will need to purchase to connect the control heads to the network (see the Ethernet Cable Information table).

Ethernet

A. Two 700 Series™ Units

1. Insert the AS EC QDE Ethernet cable connector into the Ethernet slot on the 700 Series™ cable collector. Repeat this step for the second AS EC QDE cable.

NOTE: The 700 Series™ control head uses a cable collector for the Quick Disconnect Mount and the In-Dash Mount. See your control head installation guide for details.

2. Connect the AS EC 10E to each round connector on the AS EC QDE cables.

3. Hand-tighten the screw nut(s) on each cable to secure the connection. The connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect installation, so be careful not to force the connectors.

B. One 700 Series™ Unit & One 800/900/1100 Series™ Unit

1. Insert the AS EC QDE Ethernet cable connector into the Ethernet slot on the 700 Series™ cable collector.

NOTE: The 700 Series™ control head uses a cable collector for the Quick Disconnect Mount or the In-Dash Mount. See your control head installation guide for details.

2. Insert one end of the AS EC 10E cable into the Ethernet port on the back of the 800/900/1100 Series™ control head. The connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the port.
