RSS Power
The Remote Sonar Sensor (RSS) has a separate, non-replaceable Lithium battery that has a shelf life of three years and will last for
approximately 400 hours of in-water use. Discard the used RSS in compliance with local laws as you would any electronic compo-
nent or battery.
The RSS has contacts that perceive when the device is immersed in the water. These contacts turn on the Sonar Trans-mitter/Receiver and
begin transmitting the sonar information via RF to the display. The RSS automatically stops using power a few seconds after being pulled
out of the water.
WARNING!
Do not place the RSS in a wet area when not in use as this will turn on the RSS and shorten its usable life. Store the RSS in a dry
area when not in use to conserve power. Never place the RSS in a wet area of a boat or on a metal surface that could accidentally power it on.
NOTE:
If the RSS was used in salt water, rinse it with fresh water before storing it.

The Start-Up screen will disappear automatically after two seconds have passed, without further action from you. In Fishing mode, the
