29. r Customer Resource Center at 1 800 633 1468 How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves The Humminbird FishFinder uses sonar to locate and define structure bottom contour and composition as well as depth directly below the transducer Your FishFinder sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location size and composition of an object Sonar is very fast A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft 70 m and back again in less than 1 4 of a second It is unlikely that your boat can outrun this sonar signal Single Beam Sonar Your Humminbird FishFinder 585c uses a 200 kHz single beam sonar system with a 20 area of coverage Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed wave action bottom hardness water conditions and transducer installation FF585c_ Man English _531363 1 B qxd 12 27 2004 8 33 PM Page 8 F What s On the Displa The Humminbird FishFinder can display a variety of useful information about the area Depth water depth can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow Temperature water surface temperature Timer Elapsed time with Temp Speed Accessory gt Distance Distance traveled with Temp Speed Accesso
