1 How Sonar Works Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The 700 Series™ Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 700 Series™ Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of [...]

2 The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83kHz) are typ[...]

10 Sonar View Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the[...]

11 Understanding Sonar History It is important to understand the significance of the 700 Series™ Fishing System display. The display does NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar r[...]

97 Glossary Sonar Terms: Alarm, Depth: Depth Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds when depth is less than or equal to the setting. Alarm, Temperature: Temperature Alarm is a user-controllable, audible alert that sounds when the water surface temperature equals the setting. Backlight: Backlight is a user-controllable illumination [...]

98 Customizable Digital Readouts: Customizable Digital Readouts is a Humminbird® feature that permits the user to select the specific digital information that appears in the main Sonar view (i.e. Speed, Temperature, Barometric Pressure, TripLog, etc.) Dead Zone: The dead zone is the area of the sonar beam that receives the sonar signal after the m[...]

99 Freeze Frame: Freeze Frame is a Humminbird® feature that pauses the sonar scrolling so that the image on screen can be studied with greater detail. See Instant Image Update . Frequency: Frequency is a measure of the number of sound wave cycles per second of a sound impulse transmitted underwater. A typical frequency for fishfinders is 200 kHz, [...]

100 dot pattern. Electrical noise can be isolated by selectively turning on and off other electrical devices to determine the source. Often re-routing the power cable, or connecting to an alternative power supply (second battery) can help overcome electrical noise. Hydrodynamic noise (from propeller and/or hull cavitation) has a more random appeara[...]

101 Quick Disconnect Mount: The Quick Disconnect Mounting system is an exclusive Humminbird® feature that permits the unit to be easily removed from the mounting base by pressing a release button, and re-installed by simply snapping it back into place. All cable connections are made when installing, so that no separate wiring connections are requi[...]

102 Sonar Update Rate: Sonar Update Rate is the number of times per second that the transmitter/receiver sends and receives sonar signals. A very fast sonar update rate collects more information and provides a more detailed image of the bottom, fish and structure. Many Humminbird® units operate at up to 40 times per second when in single frequency[...]

103 Time Variable Gain: Time Variable Gain is a processing step applied to the sonar return to "normalize" the data so that objects of equal size (i.e. fish) appear to be the same size, even if they are separated by a good distance. Time Variable Gain is a fundamental attribute of good sonar, but is often promoted as a feature. Total Scre[...]

104 WhiteLine®: WhiteLine® is a Humminbird® feature that highlights the strongest sonar return on the display using a very light gray band. This is preferred by some anglers who have grown accustomed to the feature on paper graph chart recorders. WideSide®: WideSide® is a Humminbird® sonar configuration used in an optional transducer. WideSid[...]

105 GPS & Navigation Terms: Acquisition Time: The length of time that a GPS receiver typically takes to determine a position from at least three satellites. Humminbird® GPS receivers provide very fast acquisition times (under one minute), permitting users to get out on the water faster. Alarm, Arrival: The audible alert that sounds when the bo[...]

106 Receiver (DBR) that connects to the GPS receiver. The advent of WAAS has largely negated the need for the added expense of a DBR in the United States. Distance To Go: Distance To Go is the straight-line distance between Present Position and the Destination Waypoint. DTG and SOG (Speed Over Ground) are used to calculate Time To Go. See Time to G[...]

107 North, Magnetic: North is the principle reference point of the compass (i.e. North is 000°). Magnetic North relies on the earth’s magnetic field to align a metal pointer generally towards True North. However, due to local variations in the earth’s magnetic field around the globe, the difference between True North and Magnetic North can be [...]

108 Time To Go (TTG): Time To Go is the estimated time required to reach the destination waypoint. TTG is calculated using the SOG and DTG. See SOG and DTG . Track: A Track is a series of saved points that define the past path of the boat. These Track Points are saved at regular time intervals. Tracks are a useful and quick method to see where you?[...]

109 Waypoint Target: Waypoint Target is a Humminbird® feature that displays a precise “bull’s eye” around a selected waypoint. This bull’s eye is used to easily monitor boat position relative to a waypoint, and is useful for fishing over submerged structure. With Waypoint Targets, a quick look at the screen lets you know how far off the wa[...]
