A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Uniden Clock, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Uniden Clock one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Uniden Clock. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Uniden Clock should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Uniden Clock
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Uniden Clock item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Uniden Clock item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Uniden Clock alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Uniden Clock, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Uniden service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Uniden Clock.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Uniden Clock item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    INSTALLING THE QT-206 1. Find a location on your dash panel which will provide clear viewing and access to the LCD window. 2. After finding the right location for the indicator unit, mark a 2-inch hole to be cut out. 3. Check behind the panel for any cables or wiring which could be damaged. Then cut out the 2-inch hole. 4. Test fit the unit in the [...]

    TRANSDUCER WIRING On the rear of the unit, locate the terminal lugs extending out of the rear of the instrument. These terminals are used to connect the transducer wires. When shipped from the factory, the transducer is wired with 3 female lugs attached. These lugs need to be inserted onto the male terminals located on the rear of the gauge. The BL[...]

    1. Connect the main unit to a 12-volt battery using the power cable supplied with your unit. You may extend this cable as necessary, but you must observe proper polarity (i.e., RED is positive and BLACK is negative). 2. Connect the BLACK wire to the negative ( - ) battery terminal. 3. Connect the RED wire to the positive ( + ) battery terminal. 4. [...]

On slower, heavier displacement boats, good results can be achieved further from the keel. DO NOT INSTALL YOUR TRANSDUCER UNDERNEATH A GASOLINE OVERFLOW. THIS WILL DESTROY THE PLAS[...]

The slots in the bracket allow 5/8" of vertical adjustment which can be utilized to lower the transducer further into the water to achieve optimal performance. 4. Using the [...]

    • Do not install it on a lifting strake since this is the area where air bubbles travel from the bow to the stern, to provide a smooth ride. • On displacement power boats (trawlers), mount the transducer well aft and close to the centerline. • On I/Os, mount the transducer close to the engine(s). • On inboards, always mount the transducer w[...]

    5. Apply a 1/8" thick layer of sealant around the lip of the plastic or bronze housing. A thin layer should also be applied up the sidewalls to a height of 1/4" greater than the hull thickness. This will ensure there is sealant material in the threads to seal them, and hold the housing nut securely in place. 6. From the outside of the hul[...]

    Mounting the Transducer 1. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole in the preferred transducer location. Refer to the previous section to determine the best location for your type of boat. 2. Drill a hole “slightly” larger than the stem of the transducer. Be careful not to make it too large as you will run the risk of water leaking into the hull. 3. Cut t[...]

    INSIDE-THE-HULL TRANSDUCERS This type of transducer does not require the drilling of a hole as does the Through-the-Hull Transducer. However, since the sound waves transmitted and received by the Inside-the-Hull Transducer must pass through the hull, transducer performance will be reduced. The success of Inside-the-Hull installation is greatly depe[...]

    Use one of the following methods to determine if your chosen location is satisfactory: 1. Place the transducer in a plastic bag filled 1/2 to 3/4 full of water. Tie or tape the bag tightly around the transducer cable. Wet the selected location and place the bag against the hull, pressing the transducer face against the hull. If the hull is void fre[...]

    UNDERSTANDING SONAR All depth sounders emit ultrasonic sound signals from the transducer into the water located under your boat. These sound signals travel through the water at a rate of approximately 4,800 feet per second (1500 meters per second). The depth sounder transmits a signal and receives a returning echo. The unit calculates the amount of[...]

    SHALLOW WATER SENSITIVITY The Shallow Water Sensitivity controls a circuit in the depth sounder that affects the first 10 feet of water. It alters the system’s response time in this area only, and can be used to compensate for installation imperfections. Example: • SHALLOW READINGS: If your instrument occasionally displays random, false shallow[...]

  • Page 19

    WHEN TO USE LESS SENSITIVITY: SHALLOW READINGS Use less sensitivity when your instrument displays a series of random, shallow readings (3.5’, 2.9’, 4.1’) and the actual depth is greater. How to Perform When looking at the rear of the instrument, this adjustment is made in a clockwise direction. (This control operates much like the volume cont[...]

    WHEN TO USE MORE SENSITIVITY: DOUBLE ECHOES (READINGS TOO DEEP) Use more sensitivity when your instrument displays depths that are too deep; that is, greater than the actual depth. For example, if you are in 6’ of water and turn this control too far in the less sensitivity direction, you may see “12.0’” appear in the LCD window. This is ver[...]
