obstacle, otherwise the sonar signals will be “blocked”,

thus sonar unit will not be able to receive the signal normally,

The unit will automatically adjust the depth range according

to water conditions. It always keeps the bottom displayed

When the depth unit is set to meter, the fish finder has the

following depth ranges: 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40m.

Depth range changes or signal loss will cause lines with

3. Water surface line

New returns graphed at a different scale will not match up

with the historic data already graphed at a higher or lower

3. Water surface line

The water surface line indicate the displayed position of

water surface on the screen, which is very helpful for you

to estimate the depth of

detected fish.

For example,

the current depth reading is 18m, and the position

of fish-a icon(B) is about

1/3 of total depth( A), thus

the 1-fish lies on the position

about (18.6*1/3=)6.2m deep

from water surface.

Accordingly, you could estimate the

the A total depth, which is (18.6*1/2=)9.3m.

Sensitivity

Sensitivity determines how echoes will be displayed on the

screen.

Increasing the sensitivity will make you see more details

on the screen. In such situations when you see too much

clutter on the screen, decreasing the sensitivity will play

an effect. The larger the sensitivity is, the more relatively

strong sonar returns the screen will display. If the sensitivity

is decreased too low, most sonar returns (which maybe fish)

will not be displayed.

In situation while water is clear or very

deep, try increasing

which will let you see even the very

weak returns.

However in situation while water is

turbid, try decreasing the sensitivity,

which will make only the useful echo

be showed on the screen and the noise will be omitted.

Trouble shooting

You are not supposed to fix the handheld or the sensor.

The product contains no customizable parts. On the other

hand, the waterproof performance is enabled by unique

techniques, functions of which may be disabled by unau-

thorized disassembly. On this account, only professional

maintenance personnel properly authorized by the Company

are entitled to any repair necessary.

We have been contacted frequently by our customers req-

uesting repair service. We inspect their products and find

many of them are not in need of repair: the problems occur

because some customers are not very acquainted with

product usage. And we are forced to label these products

as “inapplicable for maintenance” and return them to the

customers. Therefore, in the event of problems during

product use, we invite you to read the following trouble-

shooting part carefully before you send the product for

maintenance.

1.No signal on screen

If the fishfinder fails to receive signals from the sensor, it

will stop updating the screen (which will then remain

unchanged). Under any circumstances, if the handheld

can not receive signals transmitted by the sensor or the

sensor is out water for several seconds, the screen will

seem the same until the sensor is placed in water again

and signals are restored.

1) FC80/90 is a product depending upon line of sight.

Obstacles between the handheld and the sensor can con-

tribute to signal loss.

2) FC80/90 has a detection depth ranging from 1 to 100

feet (0.3~30m). Incorrect readings may appear in water

areas with depth less than 0.3m. Additionally, consider-

ing the sonar physical characters, we suggest you avoid

using the product in swimming pools or small-sized

enclosed water areas.

3) The maximum remote-control distance for the sensor

reaches 1000 feet (300m). If the sensor with the bait boat

Be sure the battery's positive and negative poles are corr-

When using the device in shallow water areas, the screen

The sensor has a perfect performance in water from

a) Please confirm the sensor is mounted at the proper

location on your bait boat. A improper mounting location

will cause abnormal display.
