1 P ow er On the Unit Follo w the instructions below to po wer on your Humminbir d® control head. 1. Press the POWER/LIGHT key. 2. When the T itle scr een is displayed, pr ess the MENU key to access the Start-U p Options Menu.
2 How Sonar W orks Sonar technology is based on sound wav es. The 500 Series™ F ishfinder uses sonar to locate and define structur e, bottom contour and composition, as well as depth directly below the tr ansducer .
3 When all the echo es are view ed side by side, an easy to interpret “gr aph“ of the bottom, fish, and structure appear s. The sou nd pu lse s are tra nsm itt ed at vari ous frequencies depending on the applica tion. V ery high frequencies (455 kHz) ar e used for grea test definition but the operating depth is limited.
4 DualBeam Sonar Y our 500 Series™ Fishfinder uses a 200/83 kHz DualBeam sonar system with a wide (60°) area of cover age. DualBeam sonar is optimized to show the grea test bottom definition using a narro w (20°) beam yet can still indicate fish fou n d in t he w i de ( 60 ° ) be am w h en t he Fish ID+™ fea ture is turned on.
5 How GPS W orks Y our 500 Series™ Fishfinder also supports GPS (Global P ositioning System) and chartplotting. It uses GPS and sonar to determine your position, displa y it on a grid, and provide detailed underw ater inf ormation. GPS uses a constellation of satel lites that continually send radio signals to the earth.
6 What’s On the Sonar Display What’s On the Sonar Displa y T he 500 Series™ Fi shfinder can displa y a variet y of useful infor mation about NO TE: Entries in this view that list (with T emp/Speed or GPS Receiver) ar e available if either the information from the GPS r eceiver will be displayed on the vie w.

11 Inver se is a method where w eak returns ar e shown with dark pixels and strong r eturns with lighter pixels. T his has the benefit of ensuring that weak signals will be clearly visible on the display . Structure ID® represents w eak returns as light pixels and strong returns as dark pixels.
12 V iews The sonar and navigation information from your Fishfinder are display ed on the scr een in a variety of easy-to-read views. There are many views available on your Fishfinder . When you press the VI EW key, t he d is p lay cy cl e s th ro ug h t he available views on your screen.
13 T o customize your view rotation: Y ou can choose which views are hidden or visible in your view rotation. 1. Press the MENU key twice to access the tabbed Main Menu, then press the RIGHT Cursor key until the Views tab is selected. 2. Press the UP or DOWN Cursor keys to select a View .
14 Sonar V iew Sonar Vie w presents a historical log of sonar returns. The most recent sonar returns are charted on the right side of the display . As new information is received, the historical information scrolls left across the display .
15 Sonar Zoom Vie w Sonar Zoom Vie w provides a magnified view of the bottom and structure. The Sonar Zoom View makes it easier to see separate sonar returns that would usually be displayed close together , such as those caused by fish suspended close to the bottom or within structure.
16 Big Digits Vie w Big Digits Vie w pro vides digital data in a large, easy-to-see format. • Digital Readout s: Depth is alwa ys displa yed. Readouts for tempera ture, speed, and T riplog information are displa yed automatically if the appropriate accessory is connected to the Fishfinder .
