Read Me First!
How this manual can get you out on the road, fast!
Welcome to the exciting world of digital sonar and GPS! We know
you're anxious to begin navigating and finding fish, but we have a favor
to ask. Before you grab the unit and begin installing it, please give us a
moment or two to explain how our manual can help you get the best
performance from your combination fish finder and GPS receiver.
First, we want to thank you for buying an Eagle
sonar/GPS unit.
Whether you're a first time user or a professional fisherman, you'll
discover that your unit is easy to use, yet capable of handling
demanding navigation and sonar tasks. When you team your unit with
our custom mapping software MapCreate 6, you have an incredible
combination. With a full recording capability and remarkable
resolution, you won't find another combination sonar and GPS unit
with this much power and this many features for this price!
Our goal for this book is to get you on the water fast, with a minimum
of fuss. Like you, we'd rather spend more time boating or fishing and
less time reading the manual!
So, we designed our book so you don't have to read the whole thing from
front to back to find the information you want. At the start (or end) of
each segment, we'll tell you what content is coming up next. If it's a
concept you're already familiar with, we'll show you how and where to
skip ahead for the next important topic. We've also made it easy to look
up any tips you may need from time to time. Here's how:
The manual is organized into 10 sections. The first section is an
introduction to the FishStrike 1000c and SeaChamp 1000
C DF
sonar/ GPS units. It tells you the basics you need to know before you
can make the unit look around and tell you where you are, or look
below the surface to find some fish.
Section 2 will help you install your unit, the transducer and the GPS
antenna module. We'll also show you how to install the MultiMedia
Card (MMC) and give you some information on available accessories.
Section 3 covers Basic Sonar Operation. It will show you how easy it is
to run your sonar, right out of the box. This section features a one-page
Sonar Quick Reference. (If you've already jumped ahead and
figured out how to install the unit yourself, and you just can't
wait any longer, turn to the Quick Reference on page 49 and
head for the water with your unit!)
