NSTALLATION
Perform the procedures in the following sections to install the Black Box Sonar on your boat.

|
Determine the Mounting Location
The Black Box Sonar is designed to mount on any flat, level surface of your boat. Prior to installation,
you must first determine where to mount the Black Box Sonar.
1. Use a level to locate a suitable, flat area to mount the Black Box Sonar.
2. Place the Black Box Sonar in the chosen mounting location and test the length of the cables
(transducer, temp/speed, and power) to confirm that each cable will reach the Black Box Sonar.
3. Test the length of the Ethernet cable (separate purchase required) from the Black Box Sonar
to confirm it will reach the control head.
CAUTION!
Do NOT mount the cables where the connectors could be submerged in water or
flooded. If cables are installed in a splash-prone area, it may be helpful to apply dielectric
grease to the inside of the connectors to prevent corrosion. Dielectric grease can be
purchased separately from a general hardware or automotive store.

WEEE Directive:
EU Directive 2002/96/EC “Waste of Electrical and

the product life cycle.
WEEE compliance may not be required in your location for electrical &
electronic equipment (EEE), nor may it be required for EEE designed
and intended as fixed or temporary installation in transportation
vehicles such as automobiles, aircraft, and boats. In some European
Union member states, these vehicles are considered outside of the
scope of the Directive, and EEE for those applications can be
considered excluded from the WEEE Directive requirement.
This symbol (WEEE wheelie bin) on product indicates the

must be disposed of and collected for recycling and recovery of
waste EEE. Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. will mark
all EEE products in accordance with the WEEE Directive. It is our goal to
