When storing the Suction Cup Transducer in the case, dry the
transducer and cable to avoid corrosion. If using in Salt Water, rinse the
transducer and cable in fresh water and dry before storing in the case.
Batteries
The Fishfinder 100 Portable comes with a D-Cell battery pack. Eight
D-Cell Alkaline batteries will provide approximately 20 hours of continu-
ous operation. You have the option of purchasing a 12 Volt Rechargeable
Gel-Cell Battery for the portable case. If using a Gel-Cell battery you can
anticipate approximately 40 hours of continuous operation between
charges. Cold temperatures reduce battery life.
Installing the D-Cell Batteries:
1. Disconnect the Red and Black leads.
2. Install the batteries noting the correct polarity.
3. Reconnect the Red and Black leads and place the battery pack (batteries
down) in the provide location within the case.
Installing a Gel Cell Battery:
Verify that the Gel-Cell battery has male spade connectors installed on
the positive and negative leads.
1. Disconnect the Red and Black leads and remove the D-Cell Battery Pack.
2. Connect the Red and Black Gel-Cell leads to the Red and Black wires in
the portable case.
3. Place the Gel-Cell battery in the same location as the D-Cell Battery
Pack. The Portable Case was designed to accommodate a 12 Volt Gel-
Cell battery and hold it securely in place.
