Channel
Press POWER-MENU until the CHANNEL menu appears. Select either A or B to match your RSS. See Channel A and
B RSS Units. Default = Channel A
Bottom Black
Press POWER-MENU until the BOTTOM BLACK menu appears. Select OFF to gain bottom hardness information by
viewing second returns. For a high contrast display that is easy to view from a distance, leave the view setting on Bottom Black. Default
= ON
Fish Alarm
Press POWER-MENU until the FISH ALARM menu appears. Select OFF for no fish alarm, or one of the following
symbols to set the alarm point and turn it on. Default = OFF
• Alarms on big fish only
• Alarms on big and medium fish only
• Alarms on all fish
Fish ID+ must be set to ON for Fish Alarm to work.
Fish ID+
Press POWER-MENU until the FISH ID+ menu appears. Select either OFF to view “raw” sonar returns, or ON to
take advantage of SmartCast’s ability to identify sonar returns that are determined to be fish. The sensitivity set-
ting also affects the definition of sonar returns as fish (see Sensitivity). Some fish symbols will show the depth
of the fish above the fish symbol. Fish Alarm does not sound if Fish ID+ is turned off. Default = ON
Channel A and B RSS Units
There are two versions of the RSS that are available at your local tackle dealer, major outdoor retailers, or at the website
www.humminbird.com
: Channel A and Channel B.
The Channel A RSS unit (RF40A) comes standard with your SmartCast product. You also have the option to purchase additional Channel
A or Channel B RSS. When using the A or B version of the RSS, make sure to select the appropriate channel in the CHANNEL menu.
The A&B Channel Option gives you the flexibility to use a different type of RSS than the one you are currently using if another angler is
using a SmartCast product within 100 feet of your SmartCast. If you have a Channel B RSS, you will need to set the channel to B each
time you power up the SmartCast. Two Channel A or two Channel B RSS units in the water within 100 feet of the display will cause RF
interference that prevents the product from functioning properly, resulting in fluctuating depth readings and excessive clutter on the
screen. If you use a Channel B RSS while another angler is using an Channel A RSS or vice versa, the interference will be reduced but
not completely eliminated.
NOTE:
RSS units, regardless of Channel, either in close proximity to each other or to other sonar devices (closer than 40 feet) can also experience
or cause sonar interference, which may result in erratic depth readings.
