1. Thru Hull Mounting Thru hull transducers install through a hole drilled in the hull of the boat Larger boats or boats with inboard motors create turbulence that make transom mounting ineffective Also hulls that are very thick or are double layered or made from materials such as wood or metal which do not conduct sonar signals make inside the hull mounting inadvisable Thru hull mounting may require the use of a fairing block to level the transducer with the waterline Also since special tools and knowledge may be required to perform this type of installation it is best to refer to a qualified marine technician INSTALLATION PREPARATION TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE Other transducers are available as replacements for the standard transducer You may exchange your new and unassembled transducer for another type by returning it to the address listed in Customer Support Some transducers may have additional cost Refer to the Accessory catalog or call Customer Support for information BEGINNING INSTALLATION Now that you have determined the transducer mounting method you can begin installation of your new Humminbird fishfinder The installation guide included on the next few pages provides detailed step by step instructions for installation of the control head and transducer For transom mount transducer installations you will need the mounting template included with your manual In addition to the parts included2. the normal operation screen is displayed If the boat is in water sonar data appears If the bottom is visible on screen with a digital depth readout the unit is working properly Ensure the boat is in water greater than 2 but less than the depth capability of the unit and the transducer is fully submerged Remember the sonar signal cannot pass through air If the unit is working properly gradually increase the boat speed to test high speed performance If the unit functions well at low speeds but begins to skip or miss the bottom at higher speeds the transducer requires adjustment Refer to the appropriate transducer installation section for more detail Note it is often necessary to make several incremental transducer adjustments before optimum high speed performance is achieved Important For Transom Mount transducer installations install the third mounting screw after the final transducer adjustments Humminbird 3 Humminbird Lane Eufaula Alabama 36027 USING THE WIDE W The Wide W is easy to use Simply press the POWER button and the unit will automatically locate the bottom Adjust the depth range and sensitivity to an appropriate level and draw a picture of the terrain beneath your boat If POWER is the only button you press you will benefit from the advanced automatic bottom tracking capability of the unit However if you choose to experiment with the many features and controls the Wide W offers you can customiz

BOTTOM ALARM The Wide W contains an audible alarm to warn you of shallow water depths This alarm is adjustable from 2 feet to 99 feet of depth To enable the alarm simply adjust the alarm depth using the UP and DOWN arrow buttons and press ENTER Whenever the depth of the water beneath your boat is equal to or less than the selected alarm depth a continuous alarm will sound 120 ER Ge qj ii T ALM Bottom Alarm On Indicator To disable the alarm either move to deeper water or select the Bottom Alarm menu and press ENTER to turn the alarm off FISH ALARM The Fish Alarm alerts you to the presence of fish or other targets not attached to the bottom in the water beneath your boat The Fish Alarm has 3 different settings which correspond to the 3 different size fish targets shown on screen To enable Fish Alarm use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to adjust the size return you want to be alerted to large fish only large and medium size fish or all fish Then press ENTER to enable the alarm Remember that it is impossible for sonar to determine if a signal return is a fish or some other type of object or suspended debris Any object not connected to the bottom is normally a fish and is portrayed as a fish symbol The strength of the reflected sonar signal from a target is a good indicator of the size of the target and the fish symbol displayed represents the strength of the signal reflected from it ID ID is the
