HOW SONAR WORKS Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder uses sonar to locate structure, bottom composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder consists of two components: the control head and the transducer. The control head contains the transmitter and receiver, as well as the user controls and display. The transducer is suspended beneath the water, underneath the ice, and converts electrical energy from the t

When all the echoes are viewed within the beam, an easy to interpret multicolor palette of sonar return signals appears on the Flasher Dial. The ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder plots the depth and intensity of sonar returns from the bottom, fish and structure. The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Your ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder gives you the power to choose the frequency and coverage of your sonar. 455 kHz provides narrow coverage with the grea

Your ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder uses selectable dual-frequency sonar with a wide area of coverage. Selectable dual-frequency gives you the option of two beams, and both beams will cover the bottom and provide high definition. The 9 degree center beam provides the highest definition, while the 19 degree beam provides wider coverage. Depth capability is affected by such factors as bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation. Whether fishing in shallow to very deep water, in

HOW ICE FLASHERS WORK Although the sonar part of an ICE Flasher Series™ Fishfinder works in the same way as any other Humminbird® control head, the return signal is displayed differently. The ICE Flasher Series™ LCD is modeled on the original analog displays and represents what is happening below the transducer the moment it happens. The Flasher Dial displays a multicolor palette indicating low to high sonar intensity returns, where red indicates high intensity and green indicates low intensity.

2. Assembling the Base and Handle In this procedure, you will install the handle onto the base, and attach the tie-down straps that will be used to secure the battery to the base in a later procedure. 1. Install the handle onto the base, so that the curved part of the handle faces towards the back of the base, towards the battery well. Use the four included #8-32 x 7/16" screws, two on each side, to attach the handle to the base (see the illustrations Installing the Handle Onto the Base and Slid

3. Assembling the Control Head to the Base and Handle In this procedure you will install the ICE Flasher Series™ control head to the base/handle assembly. 1. Place the control head into the gimbal bracket located on the base. 2. Place the 1" diameter black washers as shown in the figure; then, thread the gimbal knob through the bracket and washers, into the housing. Tighten the gimbal knob to secure the ICE Flasher Series™ control head to the mount. 3. Repeat step 2 for the other side. Washer Kn

Spade Battery Terminals Foam Pad NOTE: Do NOT connect the power cable to the battery at this time. You should wait until just before fishing to connect the power cable to the battery. 3. Move the tie-down straps out of the way so that the battery well is fully accessible. 4. Hold the foam pad and the battery together, and slide them into the battery well. Make sure that the spade terminals are on the left side of the battery well and the foam pad fits evenly around the battery well edges. Instal

3. Position the float so that the transducer will be submerged in the water, just below the ice. Ice Layer Float Transducer NOTE: The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer detection. The bottom of the transducer should be even with the bottom of the ice or hang slightly below the bottom of the ice. Attaching the Cable Clamps 4. Once you know where you want to position your float, place one of the cable Cable Clamp clamps onto the support cable, above the (acts as a stop f
