Perform the procedures in the following sections to install the transducer on your boat.  
NOTE: The suction cup mount is designed for quick, easy installation and removal, NOT for high speed operation. If you  
intend to operate your boat at any speed faster than trolling speeds, remove the suction cup transducer from the water.  
Assembling the Plastic Bracket  
NOTE: Humminbird® portable transducers use either a metal or plastic bracket. The type of transducer that came with  
your Humminbird® unit will determine which bracket to use. Refer to the illustration that corresponds with your  
transducer and bracket type.

Assembly  
It is important that the mounting position allows the transducer to rest beneath the surface of the water, pointing  
straight down. You can mount the transducer anywhere on the side of the boat if your boat remains stationary. If you  
are trolling, it is best to mount the transducer on the transom of the boat.

Testing the Transducer Prior to Installation  
Prior to installation, test the transducer to make sure that no damage occurred during shipping.  
1. After connecting the transducer to the control head, hold the transducer in the water over the side of the boat to  
confirm proper operation. If the transducer is working properly, you should be able to see the bottom on the control  
head display.

Portable Transducer  
Maintenance  
All repair work is performed by factory-trained technicians to meet exacting  
factory specifications. Factory-serviced units go through the same rigorous  
testing and quality control inspections as new production units.  
If your boat remains in the water for long periods of time, algae and other  
marine growth can reduce the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically  
clean the face of the transducer with hot water. Pivoting the transducer up in  
the bracket may allow better access for inspection or cleaning.  
After the original warranty period, a standard flat rate service charge will be  
assessed for each repair (physical damage and missing parts are not  
included). Any repairs made after the original warranty will be warranted for  
an additional 90 days after service has been performed by our factory  
technicians. You can contact our Customer Resource Center or visit our  
website to verify the flat rate repair fee for your product (visit the Product  
Support section):  
If your boat remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take  
some time to wet the transducer after it is returned to the water. Small air  
bubbles can cling to the surface of the transducer and interfere with proper  
operation. These bubbles will dissipate with time, or you may wipe the face of  
the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.  
1-Year limited Warranty  
We warrant the original retail purchaser that products made by Humminbird®  
have been manufactured free from defects in materials and workmanship.

be replaced or repaired free of charge at Humminbird® option and returned to

deemed defective by Humminbird®. Humminbird® is not responsible for  
charges connected with the removal of such product or reinstallation of  
replaced or repaired parts.  
We reserve the right to deem any product unserviceable when replacement  
parts are no longer available or impossible to obtain. This Service Policy is

WARNING! Do not touch an active transducer during operation, as this may  
cause physical discomfort and may result in personal injury in the form of tissue  
damage. Handle the transducer only when the power to the control head is off.  
WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent  
collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving,  
water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always  
operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or  
submerged objects.  
WARNING! Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be  
performed by authorized service personnel. Any modification of the serial  
number or attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories by  
unauthorized individuals will void the warranty. Handling and/or opening this  
unit may result in exposure to lead, in the form of solder.  
WARNING! This product contains lead, a chemical known to the state of  
California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm.
