INSTALLATION PREPARATION INSTALLATION OVERVIEW display on the control head. It should be installed in contact with the surface of the water in an area that has smooth water flow - usually on the transom of the boat. There are several mounting options for the transducer. Review the following section to determine the method that works for you and your boat. Determining How to Mount the Transducer The 250DX includes a model XT-6-20 transducer. This transducer can be mounted on the transom of the bo

INSTALLATION PREPARATION ALTERNATE TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING METHODS Inside the hull installations require no holes be drilled into the boat and through experimentation, high-speed operation comparable to transom mounting can be achieved. Two part, slow cure epoxy is required to glue the transducer in place. ALTERNATE TRANSDUCERS AND MOUNTING METHODS The 250DX comes with everything necessary for installation and operation on most boats. However, there are several situations which may require a di

INSTALLATION PREPARATION TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE (which do not conduct sonar signals) make inside the hull mounting inadvisable. Thru-hull mounting may require the use of a fairing block to level the transducer with the waterline. Also, since special tools and knowledge may be required to perform this type of installation it is best to refer to a qualified marine technician. TRANSDUCER EXCHANGE Other transducers are available as replacements for the standard transducer. You may exchange your new and

USING THE 250DX HOW SONAR WORKS HOW SONAR WORKS Your Humminbird unit uses sonar to locate and define underwater objects, define the bottom terrain, as well as determine distance. Sonar technology is based on sound waves. Your Humminbird unit sends out a sound wave signal. With this signal it determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off an object. Your Humminbird uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size

USING THE 250DX SIMULATOR OPERATION Actual depth capability depends on factors such as bottom hardness, water conditions, and transducer installation. Units will typically read to deeper depths in fresh water than in salt water. SIMULATOR OPERATION The 250DX contains a simulator that allows you to use the unit as if you are on the water. The simulator is invaluable for learning how to operate the 250DX. There are two ways to start the simulator. If the unit is powered off, press and hold the PO

USING THE 250DX WHAT YOU SEE ON-SCREEN If you are using the 250DX in Simulator when no transducer is connected, any selected options are lost when the unit is powered off. The 250DX will return to Factory Settings, or options selected when last used with a transducer, if no transducer is connected. IMPORTANT: A transducer must be connected to the 250DX in order to retain user settings selected when in simulator mode. If no transducer is detected, the unit defaults to pre-selected options when po

When in Auto mode, the horizontal line at the top of the screen is the “zero line,” representing the surface of the water. Occasionally there is a gap in this line. This gap indicates the unit is updating the display even if the bottom is not visible on-screen, or if the bottom information is not changing. New sonar in

There are three different size fish symbols used to indicate the intensity of the sonar return. While signal intensity is a good indicator of relative fish size, different species of fish have different sonar characteristics, so it is not always possible to distinguish fish size between varying species. The signal intensity is "normalized" for depth so that a small fish c

With the unit powered on, press LIGHT once to turn the backlight on “high.” Press LIGHT a second time to turn the backlight on “low,” and a third time turns the backlight off. The backlight is very effective for low-light and nighttime operation. When the backlight is on, the 250DX will consume more power than with the bac

USING THE 250DX CONTROL FUNCTIONS affect the menu adjustment. The ARROW buttons often can be used when no menu is on-screen. In these situations, pressing the ARROW button affects the function of the active (last- used) menu. This is a short-cut to menu operation. The menu appears on-screen while the adjustment is made and times out. A frequently used menu can be adjusted very quickly using this technique. After an adjustment is made to a menu function, the menu times out after a few seconds and

USING THE 250DX MENU FUNCTIONS Menu Functions Sensitivity. The Sensitivity function controls the sensitivity of the sonar receiver. The 250DX automatically adjusts the level of receiver sensi- tivity based on a number of factors including the depth of the water and the level of noise present. Noise can be caused by other electronic devices, engines, trolling motors, propeller cavitation and hydrodynamic flow among others. The user has the option of adjusting the Sensitivity higher or lower based

USING THE 250DX MENU FUNCTIONS Depth Range. The Depth Range function controls the vertical distance displayed on the graphic area of the display. There are nine depth ranges available. The top of the range is always 0, or the surface of the water. Ranges of 0–15', 0–30', 0–60', 0–120', 0–180', 0–240', 0–360', 0–480', and 0–600' are available. In the metric version, ranges of 0–5, 0–10, 0–20, 0–40, 0–60, 0–80, 0–110, 0–150, and 0–185 metres are available.The range that positions the bottom depict

USING THE 250DX MENU FUNCTIONS Automatic Zoom is especially helpful when looking for structure or bottom detail. The Automatic Zoom keeps the bottom in view even in quickly changing terrain, but is most useful in flatter areas without considerable depth variation. Manual Zoom provides detailed information of any area from the surface to the bottom. In manual Zoom, the Zoom range does not move as the terrain changes. When the range is shown in the menu, the upper number represents the top of the

The Fish Alarm has three different settings that correspond to the three different size fish symbols shown on-screen. The default setting is “OFF.” With the “Large fish only” setting, the 250DX alarms on only those targets that are represented by the large fish symbols. The 250DX can be set to alarm on only large and medium fish, or set to alarm on all fish
