The 700 SeriesTM Fishing System uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the transducer. Your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off of an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object. Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 240 ft (70 m) and back again in less than 1/4 of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal. SONAR is an acronym for SOund and NAvigation Ranging. Sonar utilizes precision sound pulses or "pings" which are emitted into the water in a teardrop-shaped beam. The sound pulses "echo" back from objects in the water such as the bottom, fish and other submerged objects. The returned echoes are displayed on the LCD screen. Each time a new echo is received, the old echoes are moved across the LCD, creating a scrolling effect. The sound pulses are transmitted at various frequencies depending on the application. Very high frequencies (455kHz) are used for greatest definition but the operating depth is limited. High frequencies (200kHz) are commonly used on consumer sonar and provide a good balance between depth performance and resolution. Low frequencies (83kHz) are typically used to achieve greater depth capability. The power output is the amount of energy generated by the sonar transmitter. It is commonly measured using two methods: · Root Mean Square (RMS) measures power output over the entire transmit cycle. · Peak to Peak measures power output at the highest points. The benefits of increased power output are the ability to detect smaller targets at greater distances, ability to overcome noise, better high speed performance and enhanced depth capability. When all the echoes are viewed side by side, an easy to interpret "graph" of the bottom, fish and structure appears. 1 2 531438-1_A - 737_EnglishOnly.qxd 9/25/2005 7:52 PM Page 10 QuadraBeamTM Sonar Your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System supports QuadraBeamTM sonar. QuadraBeamTM sonar provides an extremely wide 90° area of coverage. QuadraBeamTM starts with two 45° 455 kHz beams for a continuous 90° of uninterrupted side to side coverage to 160 feet. These Side Structure locating beams reveal fish and structure to the left and right of your boat near the bottom. For structure directly below your boat, QuadrabeamTM uses DualBeam PLUSTM technology. WideSide® Sonar (with optional-purchase WideSide® transducer) Your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System also supports WideSide® sonar with the purchase of an additional WideSide® transducer. The WideSide® transducer is a specialized "side-looking" transducer that is extremely useful for bank fishing or looking for bait fish in open water. The WideSide® transducer uses three different sonar elements that transmit signals to the left, right and straight down from your boat. The downward beam is 200 kHz with a 24° area of coverage. This beam maintains a continuous digital depth readout from the bottom directly beneath your boat. The side beams are 455 kHz with a 16° area of coverage. The side-looking elements can be used independently, or together to locate targets near the surface of the water on either side of your boat. DualBeam PLUSTM Sonar Your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam PLUSTM sonar system with a wide (60°) area of coverage. DualBeam PLUSTM sonar has a narrowly focused 20° center beam, surrounded by a second beam of 60°, expanding your coverage to an area equal to your depth. In 20 feet of water, the wider beam covers an area 20 feet wide. The 20° center beam is focused on the bottom, to show you structure, weeds and cover. The 60° wide beam is hunting for fish in the wide coverage area. DualBeam PLUSTM sonar returns can be blended together, viewed separately or compared side-by-side. DualBeam PLUSTM is ideal for a wide range of conditions - from shallow to very deep water in both fresh and salt water. Depth capability is affected by such factors as boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer installation. 3 4 531438-1_A - 737_EnglishOnly.qxd 9/25/2005 7:52 PM Page 12 How GPS and Cartography Work (with optional-purchase GPS Receiver) With the purchase of an additional GPS Receiver, your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System also supports GPS and chartplotting. With a GPS Receiver, your 737 uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, display it on a grid, and provide detailed underwater information. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system designed and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS was originally intended for military use; however, civilians may also take advantage of its highly accurate position capabilities, typically within +/- 10 meters, depending on conditions. This means that 95% of the time, the GPS receiver will read a location within 10 meters of your actual position. Your GPS Receiver also uses information from WAAS (the Wide Area Augmentation System), EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service), and MSAS (the MTSAT Satellite Augmentation System) satellites if they are available in your area. GPS uses a constellation of 24 satellites that continually send radio signals to the earth. Your present position is determined by receiving signals from up to 16 satellites and measuring the distance from the satellites. All satellites broadcast a uniquely coded signal once per second at exactly the same time. The GPS receiver on your boat receives signals from satellites that are visible to it. Based on time differences between each received signal, the GPS receiver determines its distance to each satellite. With distances known, the GPS receiver mathematically triangulates its own position. With once per second updates, the GPS receiver then calculates its velocity and bearing. The optional-purchase GPS Receiver, when used with your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System, allows you to combine easy-to-use FishingGPSTM chartplotter and navigation capabilities with advanced fishfinding. The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the 700 SeriesTM Fishing System when it is connected to the optional-purchase GPS receiver. · · · · · View current position View current track (breadcrumb trail) View precision speed and heading from your GPS receiver Save tracks, waypoints and routes Travel a route and navigate from one waypoint to the next. Your 700 SeriesTM supports Navionics® Gold, HotMapsTM and HotMapsTMPreimium on MMC or SD card media. NOTE: Your 700 SeriesTM does not support Navionics® Classic Charts, only Navionics® Gold, HotMapsTM, and HotMapsTM Premium. Your unit also comes with a built-in World map. Your 700 SeriesTM uses the optional-purchase GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information. Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot Your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System also has a multi-media card (MMC)/SD slot that is used to insert optionalpurchase cards containing additional detailed maps. NOTE: MMC/SD cards require an optional-purchase GPS receiver in order to function. Inserting an MMC/SD into the Card Slot If you insert an MMC/SD that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location, your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System will retrieve that chart and display it automatically. Use the illustration to locate the position of the MMC/SD slot cover, remove the MMC/SD slot cover, then insert the MMC/SD into the slot. The label on the MMC/SD should face toward the right side of the unit. Press down on the card until it clicks into place, then replace the slot cover, making certain that the gasket is present and positioned correctly before re-installing the cover, then replace and tighten snugly - do NOT overtighten, as this will not improve water resistance, and may damage the cover. Software Updates Use the MMC/SD slot to update the software version of your control head. To update the software in your control head, plug in the appropriate MMC/SD card that contains a software update file; the unit will recognize it, will tell you what software version your control head is currently running, and will ask you if you want to update the software in the unit to match that on the MMC/SD card. You can obtain software updates from the www.humminbird.com website. 5 6 531438-1_A - 737_EnglishOnly.qxd 9/25/2005 7:52 PM Page 14 What's On the Display The 700 SeriesTM Fishing System can display a variety of useful information about the area Depth - water depth; can be set to alarm when the water becomes too shallow. Speed - if a Temp/Speed accessory or GPS Receiver is attached, the 700 SeriesTM can display the speed of the boat, and can keep a Triplog of nautical or statute miles traveled. Temperature - water surface temperature. Timer - elapsed time with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Distance - distance traveled with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Average Speed - average speed reading with Temp/Speed Accessory or GPS Receiver. Bait Ball Hard Bottom Rocky Bottom Second Sonar Return - when the sonar signal bounces between the bottom and the surface of the water and back again. Use the appearance of the second return to determine bottom hardness. Hard bottoms will show a strong second return, while soft bottoms will show a very weak one or none at all. Cursor - available in Freeze Frame and can depth of a sonar return and bottom depth under and adjacent to your boat, including the following items: be positioned in the Sonar View to provide below the cursor. 83 kHz, Wide Beam Hollow Fish Symbol Structure - where fish may be hiding. Fish - fish are displayed as arches and/or fish icons, and the unit can be set to alarm when a fish of a certain size is detected. When a target is detected and Fish ID+ is on, a Fish ID+TM symbol with depth is displayed. The size of the symbol shows the intensity of the sonar return. The unit will clearly show schools of Bait Fish as "clouds" of different shapes and sizes, depending on the number of fish and boat speed. 200 kHz, Narrow Beam Shaded Fish Symbol Thermoclines - layers of water with different temperatures that appear at different depths and different times of the year. A thermocline typically appears as a continuous band of many gray levels moving across the display at the same depth. Soft Bottom RTS® (Real Time Sonar) Window Battery Voltage - the voltage of the boat's battery; can be set to alarm if the voltage falls below a certain point. Cursor Dialog Box - indicates cursor depth directly below the cursor. on the display and the depth of the bottom NOTE: Entries in this view that list (with Temp/Speed or GPS Receiver) are available if either connected, then only the information from the GPS receiver will be displayed on the view. 7 optional-purchase device is connected to the 700 SeriesTM Fishing System. If both devices are 8 531438-1_A - 737_EnglishOnly.qxd 9/25/2005 7:52 PM Page 16 Views The views available on your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System are: Sonar views: · Sonar View · Zoom View Navigation views: · Bird's Eye View · Chart View Sonar View Sonar View presents a historical log of sonar returns. Depth is always displayed. Readouts for temperature and speed are automatically displayed if the appropriate accessory is connected. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the window; as new information is received, the older information is moved across the display to the left. A Digital Depth Readout is displayed in the upper left corner. A scale with Upper and Lower Depth Range readouts appears along the right edge of the Sonar View. The scale indicates the distance from the surface of the water to a depth range sufficient to show the bottom. Depth Range is automatically selected to keep the bottom visible on the display, although you can adjust it manually as well (see Sonar X-PressTM Menu). Six additional Digital Readouts display information from optional-purchase accessories. These information boxes can be customized to show only the information desired (see Setup Menu Tab, Select Readouts). Sonar View Depth Upper Depth Range RTS® Window · 200/83 kHz Split Sonar View · Big Digits View · Circular Flasher View · Screen Snapshot View · Combo View · Side Beam View · WideSide® View (with optional-purchase WideSide® transducer) NOTE: When you change any menu settings that affect the sonar, the view will update immediately (i.e. you don't have to exit the menu to apply the change to the screen). For instance, by switching between "Inverse" and "Structure ID®" from the X-PressTM Menu it is possible to quickly alternate between the two viewing methods.

Temperature Triplog Cursor Sonar History Window Cursor Dialog Box Lower Depth Range Sonar View is the default view. When the VIEW key is pressed, the display cycles through the available views. When the EXIT key is pressed, the display cycles through the available views in reverse order. Any view can be hidden or displayed as part of the view rotation using the Views Menu tab. NOTE: If the Depth number is flashing, it means that the unit is having trouble locating the bottom. This usually happens if the water is too deep, the transducer is out of the water, the boat is moving too fast, or for any other reason that the unit can't accurately receive continuous data. 9 10 531438-1_A - 737_EnglishOnly.qxd 9/25/2005 7:52 PM Page 18 Understanding Sonar History It is important to understand the significance of the 700 SeriesTM Fishing System display. The display does NOT show a literal 3-dimensional representation of what is under the water. Each vertical band of data received by the control head and plotted on the display represents something that was detected by a sonar return at a particular time. As both the boat and the targets (fish) may be moving, the returns are only showing a particular segment of time when objects were detected, not exactly where those objects are in relation to other objects shown on the display. Bottom Presentation As the boat moves, the unit charts the changes in depth on the display to create a profile of the Bottom Contour. The type of bottom can be determined from the return charted on the display. A Hard Bottom such as compacted sediment or flat rock appears as a thinner line across the display. A Soft Bottom such as mud or sand appears as a thicker line across the display. Rocky Bottoms have a broken, random appearance. Bottom Contour Profile with RTS® Window. Temp/Speed Accessory is optional. Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window A Real Time Sonar (RTS®) Window appears on the right side of the display in the Sonar View only. The RTS® Window always updates at the fastest rate possible for depth conditions and shows only the returns from the bottom, structure and fish that are within the transducer beam. The RTS® Window plots the depth and intensity of a sonar return (see Sonar Menu - RTS® Window). The Narrow RTS® Window indicates the sonar intensity through the use of grayscale. The grayscale used matches the bottom view grayscale setting used in the sonar history window (i.e. Inverse, Structure ID®, WhiteLine®, Bottom Black). The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale. The Wide RTS® Window indicates the sonar intensity through the use of a bar graph. The length of the plotted return provides an indication of whether the return is weak or strong. The depth of the sonar return is indicated by the vertical placement of the return on the display depth scale. The Wide RTS® Window does not make use of grayscale. Hard Bottom Soft Bottom Rocky Bottom The sonar returns from the bottom, structure and fish can be represented as either Inverse (default), WhiteLine®, Structure ID®, or Bottom Black. See Sonar X-PressTM Menu: Bottom View for details on how to set the bottom view. Freeze Frame Freeze Frame - Pressing any arrow on the 4-WAY Cursor Control key will freeze the screen and a cursor will be displayed on the screen. The cursor can be positioned on the display using the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to determine the depth of any sonar return. The RTS® Window continues to update in Freeze Frame. In addition, see the effects of menu setting changes with Instant Image Update. Pressing EXIT will exit Freeze Frame and the display will start to scroll. Freeze Frame is available in the Sonar, Sonar Zoom, and 200/83 kHz Split Sonar Views. 11 12 531438-1_A - 737_EnglishOnly.qxd 9/25/2005 7:52 PM Page 20 Inverse is a method where weak returns are shown with dark pixels and strong returns with lighter pixels. This has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display. Sonar Zoom View Sonar Zoom View increases the displayed resolution to separate sonar returns that are very close together, such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure. In Zoom View, the display is split to show a narrow slice of the full range view on the right and the zoomed view on the left. The full range view on the right also contains the Zoom Preview Box that shows what part of the full range view is shown in zoom view on the left; the Zoom Preview Box tracks the bottom in the full range view. As the depth changes, the zoomed view updates automatically to display a magnified image of the bottom. The Zoom Preview Box shows where the zoomed view is in relation to the full range view. The Zoom Level, or magnification, is displayed in the lower left corner and can be changed to suit conditions (see Sonar X-PressTM Menu: Zoom Level). Upper and Lower Zoom Depth Range numbers indicate the depth of the water which is being viewed. Digital depth is displayed in the upper left hand corner. The digital readouts in the Sonar Zoom View cannot be customized; therefore, information such as water temperature and voltage are unavailable in the Sonar Zoom View.

Start-Up Options Menu NOTE: To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important to select Simulator manually from the Start-Up Options menu as opposed to letting the Fishing System enter Simulator automatically (as it will if a transducer is not connected and you do nothing during power up). Manually selecting Simulator from the Start-Up Options menu allows you to pre-configure your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System for on the water operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use. A message will appear on the display periodically to remind you that you are using the Simulator. Exit the Simulator by powering your Fishing System off. System Status Use System Status to view system connections and to conduct a unit self-test. The following screens are displayed in turn when you press the VIEW button when using System Status: · Self Test · Accessory Test · GPS Diagnostic View (with optional-purchase GPS receiver). Exit System Status by powering your Fishing System off. See the following paragraphs for more information about each of these choices. Normal Operation Use Normal operation for on the water operation with a transducer connected. In addition, your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System uses advanced transducer detection methods to determine if a transducer is connected. If a functioning transducer is connected, Normal operation will be selected automatically at power up and your Fishing System can be used on the water. Exit Normal operation by powering your Fishing System off. Self Test Self Test displays results from the internal diagnostic self test, including unit serial number, Printed Circuit Board (PCB) serial number, software revision, total hours of operation and the input voltage. Simulator Use the Simulator to learn how to use your 700 SeriesTM Fishing System before taking your boat on the water. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on the water operation, providing a randomly-updated display. We recommend going through this manual while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function and affect the display the way they actually do when in Normal operation.
