· Once the screws are removed, pull out the panel and the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
Unscrew the cables from the PCB.
· Wire the cables as needed.
· Reconnect the cables to the PCB (see Figure 5.1 for reference).
· Push the panel towards the case (be sure to have well positioned the rubber gasket).
Close the FF520 box by screwing the four screws.
7.1 How can I set optimal operating parameters?
Optimal operating parameters can be set accordingly with the intended use of the Fish
Finder, to quickly get optimal operational parameters for fishing it is may be best to select
the FISH preset from the Fish Finder Setup menu, while for cruising it is may be best to select
the CRUISE preset.
7.2 What are preset modes?
Preset modes are pre-defined settings of the Fish Finder operating parameters. You can
use them to quickly set the Fish Finder in the most commonly used operating modes.
These are:
· CRUISE: sets Fish Finder in full auto mode with the sensitivity settings (GAIN OFFSET,
NOISE level and STC) optimized for displaying the bottom while underway.
· FISH : sets the Fish Finder in full auto mode with the sensitivity setting optimized for
fish finding.
7.3 How can I restore the Fish Finder default operating parameters?
While the Fish Finder page is shown, press [MENU] and move the ShuttlePoint knob to
Transducer Setup and press [ENT]. Move the ShuttlePoint knob to Set Defaults and press
[ENT]. Press [C
ONFIRM] on the CP300/CP300i, CPV350, CP500 and CPV550, or on the
CP180/CP180i press [ENT]. Note that this operation set all default settings, not only the
working defaults.
7.4 Can I always leave the Fish Finder in Full Auto/(Auto Gain and Auto
Range) mode?
Yes, but note that the full auto mode suits the 90% of the cases, however in extreme
situations the auto modes mail fail and thus it is necessary to switch to the Manual mode.
7.5 What are extreme situations in which auto modes may fail?
When the bottom is very deep, at high boat speed, when the bottom is very shallow (< 5Ft),
when the water is full of materials in suspension, with bad sea conditions.
7.6 What should I do if the auto modes fail?
Failure of auto modes can happen for various reasons. Hereafter you can find a range of
possibilities.
