1 How Sonar W orks Sonar technology is based on sound wav es. The 500 Series™ Fishfinder uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly belo w the transducer .
2 When all the echoes ar e viewed side by side, an easy to interpret "graph" of the bottom, fish and structure appears. The sound pulses ar e transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. V ery high frequencies (455 kHz) are used f or greatest definition but the operating depth is limited.
3 The po wer output is the amount of energy generated b y the sonar transmitter . It is commonly measured using two methods: • Root Mean Square (RMS) measures po wer output over the entir e transmit cycle. • P eak to P eak measur es power output a t the highest points.
How GPS and Cartogr aphy W ork Y our 500 Series™ Fishfinder also supports GPS and chartplotting, and uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and pr ovide detailed underwater inf ormation. The Global P ositioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained b y the U.
5 The f ollowing GPS functionality is currently supported by y our Fishfinder when it is connected to the included GPS receiver: • Vie w current position • Vie w current track (breadcrumb tr ail) .
6 Multi-Media Card MMC/SD Slot Y our 500 Series™ Fishfinder also has a multi- media card MMC/SD slot that is used to insert optional-purchase cards containing additional detailed maps. If you insert an MMC/SD that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location, your F ishfinder will retrieve tha t chart and display it automatically .
7 What’s On the Displa y The 500 Series™ can displa y a variety of useful information about the ar ea under Timer - elapsed time with T emp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver . Depth - w ater depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallo w .

99 POLICY ON ENVIRONMENT AL COMPLIANCE: It is the intention of Humminbird® to be a good corporate citizen and comply and meet all known and applicable envir onmental regulations in the areas and countries wher e our products are sold.
100 Glossary Sonar T erms: Alarm, Depth: Depth Alarm is a user -controllable, audible alert that sounds when depth is less than or equal to the setting. Alarm, T emperatur e: T emperatur e Alarm is a user -controllable, audible alert that sounds when the wa ter surface temperatur e equals the setting.
101 which sonar information mo ves across the display . A faster setting displays sonar information fr om more pings and shows more detail, but the inf ormation moves quickly acr oss the display: a slower setting permits vie wing of more sonar history , but does not display as much detail.
102 user's menu settings in permanent memory . Settings are retained ev en when the unit is power ed off indefinitely . Fish Arch: A F ish Arch is the apparent "arch" that appear s on the display when any object mov es through the sonar cone.
103 correlation of sonar signal str ength and the shade of gray typically used to represent it. T he strongest sonar signals are r epresented by "white", and progressiv ely weaker signals are r epresented in progr essively dark er shades of gray .
104 clear the screen of noise that is difficult to elimina te. Pixels: Pixels are the "picture elements", or small square blocks, tha t make up the image on the LCD. Measur ed as a vertical by horizontal number (i.e. 640V x 320H), this key specifica tion typically indicates the quality of resolution.
105 uses four sonar beams for a mor e detailed bottom image. QuadraBeam™ uses the DualBeam PLUS™ configura tion for downlooking, and also adds two additional beams to look to the left and right.
106 Sensitivity: Sensitivity is a user fea ture that adjusts the sensitivity of the sonar system to show more or less detail in the w ater . Higher sensitivities are often preferr ed, howev er , when the water contains debris (silt, storm debris, etc.
107 Structure: Structure is a general term for objects on the bottom tha t present a discontinuity and are a likely a ttractor for fish. T his includes bottom contour featur es (drop-offs, humps, and holes), standing structure (stumps, timbers, brush piles) and a wide range of other potential objects (sunken boa ts, reefs).
108 new range, and the old sonar inf ormation would continue to scroll off the scr een at the old range. T ransducer: T he transducer is part of the sonar system, which mounts on the boat and is in contact with the wa ter , that conv erts the electrical energy fr om the transmitter into sound energy , and that forms the sonar beam in turn.
109 V iewing Angle: V iewing Angle is an attribute of an L CD that characterizes visibility of the display when viewing fr om off the central access, such as when standing to the side of the fishfinder . Wider viewing angles ar e better because the information r emains visible even when viewing fr om the side.
110 GPS & Navigation T erms: Acquisition Time: T he length of time that a GPS receiver typically tak es to determine a position from at least thr ee satellites. Humminbird® GPS receiv ers provide v ery fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water f aster.
111 Cross T rack Error (XTE): Cr oss T rack Error is the straight -line distance of the boat from the intended T rack. XTE measures ho w far the boat is off course, and also triggers the Off Course Alarm.
112 Map Datum: A Map Datum r efer s to a particular survey of the earth’s surf ace that was ref erenced when creating a chart (i.e. WGS84). Since the earth is not fla t, and not even consistently r ound, a mathematical model must be used to transla te coordinates fr om the sphere of the earth to the flat surface of a chart.
113 memory . Routes are often used when frequently tra veling between two or mor e locations because it is a faster and mor e accurate method than repea tedly selecting individual waypoints each time one tr avels through the same ar ea.
