Addendum I
X67C IceMachine
Since the manual was written for the X67C, specialized features and ac-
cessories have been added to create the X67C IceMachine, a portable
color ice fishing sonar. The IceMachine package includes the X67C so-
nar unit and the PPP-15 portable power pack. The PPP-15 includes a
self-leveling ice fishing transducer, a rechargeable battery and a freeze-
resistant carry bag.
Each X67C unit contains a menu command that allows you to switch the
sonar in a

The Split Zoom and Sonar Chart pages share the same settings. The chart pages, the Flasher and Ice Flasher pages each have their own independent controls for Sensitivity, ColorLine and sonar color mode. For example, if you make any Sensitivity changes to the sonar chart page, the sensitivity settings for the Flasher and Ice Flasher are unchanged. Each of these set- tings are saved when you turn the unit off, so you can keep your favorite settings for each operating mode. Remember, no matter wha

Battery charge indicator This battery gauge is solid green, indicating a full charge. Sonar Signal Interpretation When you monitor your flasher screen for signs of fish, there are three signal band characteristics to watch for: movement, color and thickness. Signal band movement In a stationary setting like ice fishing, the bottom, structure and cover will show on the flasher screen as stationary bands of color. Signals between the surface and the bottom that come and go or move up and down (eve

Signal band thickness Simply put, smaller fish return smaller echoes that result in thinner and fainter signal bands. A thin signal can also indicate a fish located toward the outer edge of the signal cone. As fish size increases, the ech- oes grow stronger and the signal band grows wider. Signal width also increases as a fish approaches the center of the sonar cone. Ice Flasher Options Split Zoom Display Mode When ice fishing season arrives, you're often searching for fish that are hugging the
