Check the Transducer Ports 0
1. Insert a transducer into the left transducer port.
Some transducers are keyed; they can be inserted only into the right or
left transducer ports. Do not try to force a transducer into a port.
Fig. 9: Keyed transducer ports

- Slide the transducer connector into the transducer port. The cable must be facing up,
and the knob must be horizontal.
- Turn the knob until it is vertical. The knob should turn easily; do not force it.
Properly connected
Not connected transducer
