How Sonar Works

Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 700 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer.

Your 700 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.

How Sonar Works

Page 14

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.

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.

How Sonar Works

Page 15

DualBeam PLUS™ Sonar

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System uses 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.

How Sonar Works

Page 16

QuadraBeam PLUS™ Sonar

(with optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer)

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also supports QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar with the purchase of an additional QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer. QuadraBeam PLUS™ sonar provides an extremely wide 90° area of coverage. QuadraBeam PLUS™ starts with 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.

WideSide® Sonar

(with optional-purchase WideSide®

transducer)

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also supports WideSide® sonar with the purchase of an additional WideSide® transducer. The WideSide® transducer is a specialized "side-looking" transducer that is extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The WideSide® transducer uses three different sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right, and straight down from your boat. The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24° area of coverage. This beam maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your boat. The side beams are 455 kHz with a 16° area of coverage. The side-looking elements can be used independently or together to locate targets near the surface of the water on either side of your boat.

Universal Sonar 2

(compatible with optional-purchase Minnkota trolling motors)

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System supports Universal Sonar 2, a state-of-theart, integrated and protected transducer that is built into the lower unit of Minnkota trolling motors. With Universal Sonar 2, all wiring is concealed inside the indestructible composite shaft—out of sight and out of harm’s way, with no clamps, ties, or exposed wires. Universal Sonar 2 features new temperature sensing and the performance of DualBeam PLUS™ technology (available with all Humminbird® DualBeam PLUS™ models). An expanded view and greater bottom detail gives you a totally new perspective of the water below, along with optimal sonar performance to help you find fish.

How Sonar Works

Page 18

How GPS and Cartography Work

Your 700 Series™ Fishing System also supports GPS and chartplotting. It uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. 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.

GPS uses a constellation of over 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present position is determined by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites.

All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your boat 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 once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing.

How GPS and Cartography Work

Page 19

The GPS Receiver included with your 700 Series™ Fishing System allows you to combine easy-to-use FishingGPS® chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding.

The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 700 Series™ Fishing System when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:

• 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.

Your 700 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™ and HotMaps™ Premium on MMC or SD card media. You can insert optional-purchase cards in the (MMC)/SD slots on your control head to access additional detailed maps. See Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot for more information.

NOTE: Your 700 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™, and HotMaps™ Premium. Your 700 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts or Platinum™ Cartography.

Your unit also comes with a built-in UniMap™ with a more detailed map of North America (Domestic models) or a more detailed map of Europe and Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models).

Your 700 Series™ uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and it uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display. See Chart View: Viewing Cartography for more information.

What’s On the Sonar Display

The 700 Series™ Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about

NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if either device information from the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view.

Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow.

Temperature - water surface temperature.

Timer - Elapsed time with Temp/Speed

Accessory or GPS Receiver.

Distance - Distance traveled with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.

Average Speed - Average speed reading with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver.

Second Sonar Return - when the sonar signal bounces between the bottom and the surface of the water and back again. Use the appearance of the second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all.

Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is attached, the Fishing System can display the speed of the boat and can keep a Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled.

Cursor Dialog Box - indicates cursor depth on the display and the depth of the bottom directly below the cursor. The Latitude and Longitude of the cursor position, the distance to travel to the cursor position and the bearing to the cursor position is shown with a GPS receiver. A waypoint can be marked at the cursor position for later retrieval and use with a GPS receiver.

RTS (Real Time Sonar) Window™

Structure - where fish may be hiding.

Thermoclines - layers of water with different

temperatures that appear at different depths and different times of the year. A thermocline typically appears as a continuous band of many colors moving across the display at the same depth.

Bait Ball

Fish - the Fishing System displays fish as

arches and/or fish icons, and can be set to alarm when a fish of a certain size is detected. When a target is detected, a Fish ID+™ symbol appears on the display with the depth displayed above it. The size of the symbol indicates the intensity of the sonar return. The unit will clearly show schools of Bait Fish as "clouds" of different shapes and sizes, depending on the number of fish and boat speed.

Low Sonar Intensity Return

High Sonar Intensity Return

Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can

be positioned in the Sonar View to provide depth of a sonar return and bottom depth below the cursor.

Page 22

Understanding the Sonar Display

It is important to understand the significance of

the display. The display does not show a literal 3-

dimensional representation of what is under the

water. Each vertical band of data received by the

control head and plotted on the display represents

something that was detected by a sonar return at

a particular time. As both the boat and the targets

(fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing

a particular segment of time when objects were

detected, not exactly where those objects are in

relation to other objects shown on the display.

The returned sonar echoes are displayed on the screen. As a new echo is received, the historical data scrolls across the screen.

What’s On the Sonar Display

Page 23

Real Time Sonar (RTS™) Window

A Real Time Sonar (RTS™) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only. The RTS Window™ updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure, and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS Window™ plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return (see Sonar Menu Tab: RTS Window™).

The Narrow RTS Window™ indicates the sonar intensity through the use of colors. Red indicates a strong return and blue indicates a weak return. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale.

The Wide RTS Window™ indicates the sonar intensity through the use of a bar graph. The length of the plotted return indicates whether the return is weak or strong. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale. The Wide RTS Window™ does not use grayscale.

What’s On the Sonar Display

Page 24

Freeze Frame and Active Cursor

Freeze Frame & Active Cursor - Press any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key, and the screen will freeze and a cursor will be displayed. Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to move the cursor over a sonar return, and the depth of the sonar return will be displayed at the bottom of the screen in the cursor information box.

Instant Image Update - You can change a variety of sonar menu settings (such as Sensitivity or Upper Range), and the adjustments will be shown instantly on the screen. When combined with the Freeze frame feature, you can adjust and see the effects of many different sonar settings quickly and easily.

The RTS Window™ continues to update in Freeze Frame. Pressing EXIT will exit Freeze Frame, and the display will start to scroll. Freeze Frame is available in the Sonar, Sonar Zoom, and 200/83 kHz Split Sonar Views.

Bottom Presentation

As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance.

The sonar returns from the bottom, structure, and fish can be represented as either WhiteLine™ or Structure ID®. See Sonar Menu Tab: Bottom View for details on how to set the bottom view.

Sonar View

Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window. As new information is received, the historical information scrolls left across the display.

• Upper and Lower Depth Range numbers indicate the distance from the surface of the water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom.

• Depth is automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on the display, although you can adjust it manually as well (see Sonar X-Press™ Menu).

• Digital Readouts shown on the display will change based on the Select Readouts settings or the optional-purchase accessories attached (see Setup Menu Tab: Select Readouts).

• Freeze Frame - Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to freeze the display and move the cursor over a sonar return. The depth of the sonar return will be displayed at the bottom of the screen in the cursor information box.

Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation and are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the GOTO key. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your 700 Series™ Fishing System can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up to 50 waypoints.

Tracks consist of detailed position history and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up (maximum of 20,000 trackpoints displayed). You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your 700 Series™ Fishing System can store up to 50 saved tracks, each containing 20,000 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual path so far.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity controls how much detail is shown on the display and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar frequencies. Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar returns from small baitfish and suspended debris in the water; however, the display may become too cluttered.

When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity shows weaker returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in murky or muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish.

NOTE: The Sensitivity setting is a global setting and will adjust the sensitivity of all sonar frequencies, as compared to specific sensitivity adjustments (such as 83 kHz Sensitivity or 455 kHz Sensitivity) which allow you to adjust the level of sensitivity for one specific beam at a time.

To adjust the Sensitivity:

1. Highlight Sensitivity on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

2. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Sensitivity setting. (Low = 1, High = 20, Default = 10)

Upper Range

(Advanced: Sonar, Split Sonar, Big Digits, and Circular Flasher Views only)

Upper Range sets the shallowest depth range that will be displayed on the Sonar, Split Sonar, Big Digits, and Circular Flasher Views. The Upper Range menu option is available when User Mode is set to Advanced (see Main Menu: User Mode) and can only be accessed from the Sonar, Split Sonar, Big Digits and Circular Flasher Views. Upper Range is often used with Lower Range.

NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered.

To adjust the Upper Range:

1. Make sure the User Mode is set to Advanced, then highlight Upper Range on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

NOTE: See Main Menu: User Mode to change the User Mode to Advanced.

2. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Upper Range setting. (0 to 1490 feet or 0 to 497 meters [International Models only], Default = 0)

For example, if you are only interested in the area between 20 and 50 feet deep, you should set the Upper Depth Range to 20 and the Lower Depth Range to 50. The Sonar View will then show the 30 foot area between 20 and 50 and will not show the surface or the bottom (assuming the bottom is deeper than 50 feet). Greater detail will be shown for the area between 20 and 50 feet.

Sonar X-Press™ Menu

Page 96

Lower Range

Lower Range sets the deepest depth range that

will be displayed by the unit. Auto is the default setting.

Auto: The Lower Range will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom automatically. Auto is the default setting.

Manual: You can adjust the Lower Range to lock the unit on a particular depth. “M” will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen to indicate the unit is in Manual mode. Adjust the Upper and Lower Range together to view a specific depth range, especially when looking for fish or bottom structure.

NOTE: A minimum distance of 10 feet will be maintained between the Upper and Lower Range regardless of the manual settings entered.

To adjust the Lower Range:

1. Highlight Lower Range on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

2. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Lower Range setting. (AUTO, 10 to 1500 feet, 3 to 500 meters [International Models only], Default = AUTO)

For example, if you are fishing in 60 feet of water but are only interested in the first 30 feet (surface to a depth of 30 feet), you should set the Lower Depth Range limit to 30. The display will show the 0 to 30 foot range, which allows you to see a more detailed view than you would see if the display went all the way to the bottom.

Side Beam Range

(WideSide® transducer: WideSide® view only)

Side Beam Range sets the deepest range that will be displayed in the WideSide® View. The range must be set manually to keep the bottom visible on the display. If the Side Beam Range is set too deep for current depth conditions, the sonar information will become compressed on the display and valuable detail will be lost.

A WideSide® transducer must be connected to the Fishing System. The Side Beam Range option is available when Transducer Select is set to WideSide® (see Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select) and can only be accessed from the Sonar X-Press

™

Menu in the WideSide® View.

NOTE: The Side Beam Range requires the purchase of the WideSide® transducer. You can visit our website at www.humminbird.com to order this accessory online or contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468.

To adjust the Side Beam Range:

1. Make sure User Mode is set to Advanced and that WideSide® is selected under the Sonar Menu Tab: Transducer Select setting.

2. From the WideSide® View, press the MENU key once to access the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

3. Highlight Side Beam Range, and press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Side Beam Range setting. (6 - 160 feet [2 50 meters] [International Models only], Default = 160 feet [50

meters])

Chart Speed

Chart Speed determines the speed at which the sonar information moves across the display, and consequently the amount of detail shown.

A faster speed shows more information and is preferred by most anglers; however, the sonar information moves across the display quickly. A slower speed keeps the information on the display longer, but the bottom and fish details become compressed and may be difficult to interpret. Regardless of the Chart Speed setting, the RTS Window™ will update at the maximum rate possible for the depth conditions. Adjust Chart Speed to your personal preference.

To adjust the Chart Speed:

1. Highlight Chart Speed on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

2. Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to increase or decrease the Chart Speed setting. (1-10, where 1 = Slow, 10 = Fast, Default = 5)

Quad Layout

(with Optional-Purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ Transducer, Side Beam View only)

Quad Layout allows you to choose how sonar information is displayed in the Side Beam View. The Side Beam View displays sonar data from the left and right 455 kHz beams, as well as the 200 kHz down-looking beam. The sonar data can be displayed in any of the following layouts by changing the Quad Layout setting: Default, Classic, and Slanted. See Views: Side Beam View for more information.

NOTE: Quad Layout is only available when an optional-purchase QuadraBeam PLUS™ transducer is attached and the Side Beam View is active (see Sonar Menu Tab:

Transducer Select).

To adjust the Quad Layout Setting for the Side Beam View:

1. In the Side Beam View, highlight Quad Layout on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

2. Press the LEFT or RIGHT Cursor keys to select a layout. (Default, Classic, Slanted, Default = Default)

Bottom Lock

(Sonar Zoom View only)

Bottom Lock changes the mode of the zoomed view in the Sonar Zoom View. Bottom Lock continuously graphs the bottom at a constant point on the display regardless of changes in depth. This “flattens“ out the bottom contour but is effective at showing fish on or near the bottom.

To turn on Bottom Lock:

1. In the Sonar Zoom View, highlight Bottom Lock on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

2. Press the LEFT or RIGHT Cursor keys to change the Bottom Lock setting to On. (Off, On, Default = Off)

Bottom Range

(Sonar Zoom View only when Bottom Lock is On)

Bottom Range allows you to control how much of the water column, measured up from the bottom, is shown in the Sonar Zoom View. Choose a small value to see low-lying bottom structure or details of the bottom return. Choose a larger value to see large structure in deeper water.

NOTE: It is possible to set the Bottom Range to be greater than the depth. In this case, you may see surface clutter in a wavy band that mirrors changes in the depth.

To adjust the Bottom Range:

1. In the Sonar Zoom View, highlight Bottom Lock on the Sonar X-Press™ Menu.

2. Press the RIGHT Cursor key to change the Bottom Lock setting to On.

3. Once Bottom Lock is on, Bottom Range will be added to the X-Press™ Menu. Highlight Bottom Range, and press the LEFT or RIGHT Cursor keys to adjust the setting. (10 - 60 feet, 2-10 fathoms, or 3-20 meters [International Models only], Default = 15 feet)
