Warranty Information
Interphase provides a limited warranty on the Advantage
Dual Frequency Sonar. We strongly urge you to read this
warranty (reprinted at the back of this manual) and closely
follow its terms and conditions should your Advantage require
repair. It is highly recommended that you save all packing
materials so that if you should need to send in the unit for
repair, it can be fully protected. If you wrap your display unit
in the original plastic bag and ship it in the box with cardboard
inserts, this will protect your unit from scratches and shock
during shipment. You do not need to include the mounting
knobs or mounting bracket, however, try to include the
transducer whenever possible. Do not send the power cable
with the unit unless you need it tested for continuity or correct
polarity (Pin #1 to Red Wire).
Should you experience a problem with your Advantage, first
refer to the Troubleshooting section (Page 43) of this manual.
Most common problems and their solutions are described here.
If problems persist, call Interphase Technical Service at
(831) 477-4944. We will be happy to try to assist you, and if
required, we will give you instructions on how to quickly get
your set repaired.
The enclosed warranty registration card must be completed
and returned to Interphase within 15 days of purchase so that
your unit may be protected under the warranty. Failure to
return the warranty card may cause unnecessary delays in
processing your unit for warranty repair.
WARNING
Navigation based solely on one method or
one instrument should never be practiced.
While the Advantage can be quite useful in
showing underwater structure and changing
bottom conditions below your vessel, there
are many situations and conditions which
can cause erroneous or distorted readings.
In addition, there are many situations that
can cause “blind spots” in the Advantage’s
field of view including the presence of
temperature inversion layers (thermoclines),
water turbulence, and high concentrations
of suspended particles in the water.
While the Advantage may be considered as
a useful aid to navigation, it should never be
the only means of navigation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
As sonar technology advances, there is a
strong possibility that we will develop
many new and exciting features in the
future. We would like to make sure we can
send you information about these new
features and enhancements.
Please fill out and return the Warranty
Registration Card immediately. This is our
only method to keep in contact with you
and we may want to advise you of future
enhancements to your Advantage.
If future changes or improvements are
made, software upgrades will be available
for a nominal charge.
