HUMMINBIRD PLATINUM ID PORTABLE OPERATIONS MANUAL
The Portable Case
Please read these important tips and keep them for future reference.
Your Platinum ID Portable Case is molded of a high-impact material that will provide years of
operation and still maintain its good appearance. To clean the case, use a mild soap, liquid
detergent, or household cleaners (such as Fantastic or Formula 409). Do not use an abrasive
cleaner (such as Comet) or chemical cleaners (such as paint thinner or Acetone) as these will
damage the finish.
As with any electronic instrument, never leave your Platinum ID Portable on the dash or rear
deck area of a car or truck.
Periodically check the brass terminal strips located in both battery compartments of the lower
case. Deposits or oxidation can cause a faulty power connection and interfere with the
performance of your unit. Gently wiping the strips occasionally with fine steel wool will ensure
good connection. Never attempt to remove the strips from the case, as doing so will damage
them.
Case Setup
The only tool needed to complete the installation of the Platinum ID Portable is a phillips head
screwdriver.
Your new Platinum ID Portable case incorporates the Humminbird All-in-One Mounting and
Connector system, where all cable connections are a part of the mounting bracket.
Follow these simple steps to attach the cables to the bracket:
Open the portable case cover to its highest position and gently pull the cover toward the front of
the unit to release it from the lower case. Grasp the top rear of the mounting bracket and pull
toward you, to its full vertical position.
