Build your Network: Some of the features shown in this manual require a separate purchase. Radar, AIS, Compass/Heading Sensor,
Black Box Sonar, Ethernet Switch, i-Pilot Link, etc. require a separate purchase. To install each accessory, use the installation guide
provided with it, or download the guide from our Web site at humminbird.com.
Register and Update: As you build your Humminbird network, it is important to register your products and keep your software up to
date. Visit our Web site at humminbird.com to set up an account, update control head and accessory software, and purchase
additional equipment. Also, see Update Software in this manual for more information.

GETTING STARTED
he procedures in this section describe how to get started with your control head. See your control head installation guide to
T
onfigure the unit for first time setup. Also, see Installation Information in this manual for control head configuration and network
c
onfiguration details.
c
OTE: When the ONIX and ION control head equipment and accessories are first installed, the Setup Guide provides the prompts
N
to guide you through configuring the unit. The Setup Guide includes important steps to configure the control head with the
equipment, including vessel dimensions, fuel data, transducer setup, map source selection, and offset menus. See your control
head installation guide to configure the unit for the first time.
Power On
1. Press the POWER key.
2. Select Start Normal Mode.
3. When the first view is displayed on the screen, the control head is ready for operation.
Start Radar Transmission
If a Radar is connected to the control head network, use the following instructions to start radar transmission.
WARNING! The radar should be configured by a qualified radar technician after installation or equipment repair. See Installation
Information: Configure Radar.
1. Confirm the radar power source is turned on (breaker or switch).
2. Press the POWER key.
3. Select Radar Transmit. Tap the on/off button, or press the ENTER key, to turn it on.

Getting Started
Check Sensor Reception and Connections
If you’ve connected other separate-purchase equipment to the control head network, such as AIS, Compass/Heading Sensor, Radar,
i-Pilot Link, 360 Imaging, and more, use these instructions to confirm the equipment is detected and communicating with the
ontrol head.
c
1. Press the HOME key.
2. Review the top, right corner of the status bar.
Detected and Active: If a sensor is active and transmitting/receiving, it will be white. See the table below.
Connected but not Detected or Active: If a sensor is not detected on the network, or not transmitting/receiving, it will
be completely gray.
Connected but not Transmitting/Receiving: If a sensor is detected, but is not transmitting/receiving, the icon will be
partially gray. In this illustration, the GPS receiver is detected, but it doesn’t have a GPS fix. This feature will vary with
the type of icon represented.
Active Status Icon Sensor Icon Description
AIS AIS is on and receiving targets.
Compass
GPS The GPS receiver is detected and a GPS fix has been obtained.
i-Pilot Link i-Pilot Link is connected, enabled, and actively navigating.
Radar The selected radar source is detected and transmitting.
2D Sonar The selected 2D sonar source is detected and pinging.
360 Imaging Sonar The 360 Imaging transducer is pinging data.
Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is on and the connection is strong.
The selected compass/heading sensor is on and heading data is being
received.
3. If the sensors are active, your system is ready for use on the water.
For additional system status, select Home > Settings > Network > System Info.
If you have connected an accessory to the control head, and the icon is not displaying in the system status bar, check the
installation of the accessory and the cable connection to the control head.
To change the NMEA 2000 network or multi-control head network sources, see Set up a NMEA 2000 Network and Set up
your Humminbird Network.

Review GPS Reception
In addition to the sensor icon in the status bar, you can also check the GPS reception status in the GPS tool. The GPS tool provides
two ways to view the satellites communicating with the GPS Receiver. Yellow indicates that the satellite is being used to determine
our current position. Purple indicates that the satellite is being monitored but not used. The following data is also displayed:
y
• Position (latitude and longitude)
• GPS Fix Type: reported as No Fix, 2D Fix, 3D Fix, or Enhanced. An Enhanced fix has been augmented using information from
WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS. A 3D or Enhanced Fix is required for navigation.
• HDOP (the Horizontal Dilution of Precision): a GPS system parameter which depends on the current satellite configuration.
HDOP is used to calculate the Estimated Position Error.
Open the GPS Tool
If there is more than one control head installed on the network, select the control head that is connected directly to the GPS receiver.
1. Press the HOME key.
2. Select the GPS tool.
Review Satellites and Signal Strength
1. Under GPS (1), select Satellites.
2. Under GPS (1), select Signal Strength.

You can also manually change which GPS receiver is the selected source for GPS (1) or GPS (2). To change the GPS sources, see
Set up your Humminbird Network.
GPS (1) provides position data, Speed over Ground (SOG), Course over Ground (COG), waypoints, routes, tracks, and navigation
calculations to the control head.
GPS (2) provides position data that is displayed in the GPS (2) data box.
