2. Nothing is displayed after the fish finder is powered.
Be sure the battery's positive and negative poles are correctly oriented in the
holder. Also, check if the battery has enough capacity.
3. When using the device in shallow water areas, the screen does
not display things normally and depths are not indicated with
consistency.
Condor 260 Bait
has a depth capability from 0.6 to 30m, however due to the sonar
character, the sensor cannot achieve the best performance in shallow water.
Generally speaking, please use FC500 in water area not shallow than 1.0m.
4. The picture displayed on the screen vibrates
The picture vibrates because the sea bottom depth being scanned is changing.
Since the depth range used by the current test signal and by the previous test signal
differs, plus the varying height of water bottom, pictures displayed on the screen will
occupy different heights, causing the vibrating phenomenon.
5. Nothing appears on the display even you can see fish under the
ensor.
a) Oil, dirt and fuel might cause a film to form on the sensor and reduce its
effectiveness. Cleaning the surface of the transducer might help.
b) Electrical noise nearby can interfere with the sonar, which will cause some
weaker signals being eliminated.
6. The display become so cluttered that you even could not achieve
a clear bottom
Such cluttered display maybe caused because:
a) The water is too low
b) The water is too turbid
c) There is so much debris in the water,
7. The sonar unit cannot reach 300m. There is a abnormal display
on the display, and when the bait boat is about 60~70m faraway,
the sonar unit stop working.
a) Please confirm the sensor is mounted at the proper location on your bait boat.
An improper mounting location will cause abnormal display.
