Operational modes
Operational modes
FC60X features two operational modes:
1) Sonar Graphic Mode
FC60X renders real
sonar graphic. Cast the sensor into water, drag it slowly and
at stable speed, and you can view accurate information
displayed on the screen, including sea bottom contour,
structure, depth, fish location, size, etc.
2) Stationary Float Mode
Cast the sensor into water and let it undisturbed. It will float
on the water surface, monitoring submarine developments
in a real-time manner. Information will be automatically
updated on the screen once fish approach your bait.

1. Power
The FC60X sensor is provided with a separate, built-in, and
irremovable lithium battery that has a continuous service
time of 550 hours in normal operation. When the battery’s
service life ends and becomes out of service, it should be
handled in a way compliant with local provisions regarding
discarding used batteries and relevant electronic products.
2.
Electronic switch
There are three pins on the bottom of cover, which is used
to switch between power on / power off.
At the moment the sensor is put in water, the sonar trans-
mitter/receiver is automatically turned on and transmits
ultrasonic signals. As the principal machine receives the
signals, related information about the sea bottom will be
showed on the screen. After a few seconds elapse since the

sensor is taken out of water, the built-in power will be switch

Warning:
1)
When the sensor is casted into water, with the three pins
touching water, the sensor begin working.
2) When the sensor is droped out from water, after wiping
off the remained water on pin surface, the sensor stop

The two holes at the FC60X front end is for tying fishing
thread. If you desire to use it in the Stationary float Mode,
bind the fishing hook with light threads to the second hole.
However, be informed that if the sensor encounters barriers
when being dragged, the fishing thread can easily break.
Hence, for this practice, we advise you not to pull the thread
if unnecessary, for fear that you may be unable to regain
your sensor due to the broken thread.
Alternatively, in case you wish to drag the sensor as you
