Portable Sonar Installation
Like many Eagle products, the Cuda 350
sonar is capable of portable
operation. It uses the optional PPP-12 portable power pack.
The power pack and portable transducers expand the uses for your so-
nar. You can use your Cuda 350
sonar unit on your boat or take it to
the dock, on a float tube, on an ice fishing trip or use it as a second so-
nar in a friend's boat. (An alternative to the PPP-12 is the PPP-15
portable power pack, which was designed especially for ice fishing. It
includes a rechargeable gel cell battery
and a transducer designed fo
r
stationary use. The entire rig is contained in a carry bag that fits inside
a five-gallon plastic bucket.)
The PPP-12 package includes the power pack, battery adapter and a port-
able transducer. The transducer can be stored inside the power pack. The
PPP-12 requires eight AA alkaline batteries. Batteries are not included.
To use a portable power pack, you install the batteries
and then attach
the sonar unit to the power pack's bracket. Plug in the
power/transducer cable and you're ready to fish.
The PPP-12 has a quick-release mounting bracket built into the case.
Installing the Batteries
Release the latch on the front of the power pack case. Open the com-
partment and install eight AA batteries into the adapter. For the long-
est life, we recommend you use alkaline batteries.
NOTE:
When the unit is not in use, we recommend you unplug the powe

connector to reduce the possibility of corrosion or battery
drain.
When you store the unit, always remove the batteries because dea
d
batteries can leak and corrode the contacts.

socket on the battery compartment cover. Route the cable's unit con-
