2. Монтаж перетворювача
The TripleShot transducer is crucial for sonar performance. Proper placement is essential.
- Кріплення на транці: Most common installation. Mount the transducer on the transom of your boat, ensuring it is submerged in clean, non-turbulent water.
- Through-Hull/In-Hull: Consult a professional for these types of installations to ensure proper sealing and performance.
- Прокладка кабелю: Прокладіть кабель перетворювача подалі від джерел електричних перешкод та закріпіть його, щоб запобігти пошкодженню.
3. Підключення живлення
Connect the power cable to a 12V DC power source. Ensure proper polarity (red to positive, black to negative) and use an inline fuse for protection.
4. C-MAP Contour+ Chart Card Insertion
Locate the microSD card slot on your Hook Reveal 9 unit. Gently insert the C-MAP Contour+ card until it clicks into place. This card provides detailed mapping data.

FishReveal™
FishReveal combines the target separation of Lowrance CHIRP sonar with the high-resolution images of structure from DownScan Imaging. This makes fish targets "light up" on your screen, making them easier to distinguish from structure. Access FishReveal through the menu or a dedicated button.
