Chapter 3: Getting Started
3.1 Introduction
This chapter provides basic instructions to get you started using the DS600X
Digital Fishfinder. It describes Simulator mode and can help you to become
familiar with the basic functions of the fishfinder’s operation controls. More
detailed information on using the menu items and display controls is
provided in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5, respectively.
3.2 Powering on the Fishfinder
Connect the power cord to boat’s power source and plug into the power port
on the connector panel. Press the POWER button on the DS600X.
Details on setting up your DS600X and display are given in Chapter 6.
3.3 Simulator Mode
If you have not fully installed the fishfinder, you can still operate in Simulator
mode by connecting the fishfinder to a 12VDC power supply.
Figure 3-1 demonstrates how to setup the DS600X for Simulator mode.
Attach the red wire from the power lead to positive (+) and the black wire to
negative (–).
When you power up the
DS600X
without connecting the transducer, the unit
enters Demo mode. This provides a preprogrammed demonstration
highlighting the fishfinder’s main features. This function enables you to
practice operating the fishfinder without data from the transducer, using
simulated data.
If the transducer is connected, you can enter Simulator Mode by following
instructions outlined on page 62.
