WARNING!!!!
This depth sounder should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent
grounding, boat damage, or personal injury
.
Always operate the boat
at slow speeds in unfamiliar water
, or if you suspect shallow water or
submerged objects, as water depth may change too quickly to allow
time for you to react.
TRANSDUCER SELECTION
The transducer supplied with the DF1000D is suitable for installation and operation on most boats. For optimal perform-
ance the transducer should be mounted to the transom of the boat as per the installation instructions supplied with the
transducer installation instructions. On fiberglass hulls (non-cored) and some aluminum hulls it can be glued to the inside
of the hull, but this type of installation will reduce the performance of the DF1000D slightly.
Some boats may require a specialized transducer. If after completely reviewing the transducer installation instructions supplied with
the transducer you find that the supplied transducer is not appropriate for your vessel, please contact NMP at 888-667-2767, or visit
us on the internet at www.norcrossmarine.com for exchange information. You may exchange your new and unused transducer for
another type, but keep in mind that some transducers may have additional costs.

IMPORTANT!!!!
Install the transducer before
installing the display to ensure that
the transducer cable is long enough
to reach your desired mounting
location. Read ALL the instructions
completely before proceeding with
the installation.
DISPLAY INSTALLATION
Installation of the DF1000D Display
1. Find a location on the boat that will allow clear viewing of the LCD
Display
. Please
keep in mind that the wires for the transducer and power must reach the mounting
location.
2. After finding the right location for the display, mark a 2-inch hole.
3. Check behind the desired mounting location for any cables or wiring which could be
damaged, then cut out the 2-inch hole and seal any exposed wood with a marine
sealant.
4. Insert the display from the front of the panel, and install the bracket and locking nut
from the rear of the panel (see Figure 1). Make sure that the face of the display is
rotated upright and aligned to your satisfaction for easy viewing from the vessel’s
helm.
The DF1000D can also be surface mounted using NMP’s exclusive MB01 Adjustable
Surface Mount Bracket (see Figure 2). Please see your local retailer
