OPERATION (cont...)

Keyboard instruction

The Fish finder sound a tone when you press the key

which means the unit has accepted a command.

1. POWER & Exit Key: The POWER & Exit key

is used to turn the Fish Finder on or off. It is also

used to exit a menu setting.

2. Menu Key: The MENU key is used to enter into

a menu setting, and switch between the menus.

3. Ent Key: The Ent key is used to confirm a setting.

4. Up arrow Key: The Up key is used to select

a certain option on a menu or increase the value

during some menu setting.

5. Down arrow Key: The Down arrow key is used

to select a certain option on a menu or decrease

the value during some menu setting.

1. SONAR

Sensitive

Sensitive determines how echoes will be displayed

on the screen.

Increasing the sensitivity will make you see more

details on the screen.

In deep water, increasing the sensitivity. Whereas in

shallow decreasing the sensitivity. In most situation,

just setting sensitivity to “Auto” will work well.

To set the Sensitive:

1) Press Menu to enter into

menu setting.

2) Repeatedly Press Menu

to switch to SONAR menu.

3) Use the Up/Down Arrow

to select Sensitive option.

4) Press Ent to enter into

1.1 NOISE FILTER

Noise Filter is used to filter the noise from the air

or water environment to get a clear sonar image

on the screen.

In many situations, your Fish finder display will be

affected by undesired signal which may be caused by

your boat engine, turbulence, wiring, or other electrical

and mechanical sources. Such undesired signal will

produce unwanted mark on the screen, which may

cause a misunderstanding of the underwater condition.

In such situations when you see too much clutter

on the screen, increasing the Noise Filter will play an

effect. The larger the value is, the more unexpected

Sonar returns will not be displayed.

If the Noise Filter is increased too high, most sonar

returns (which maybe fish) will not be displayed.

In situation while water is clear, try decreasing the

Noise Filter, however in situation while water is turbid,

try increasing the Noise Filter will be helpful.

9

1.1 NOISE FILTER (cont...)

When the water is deep enough, the high value setting

may greatly affect or even hinder your Fish finder’s

performance to find the bottom. So, in deep water,

decreasing the Noise Filter value will be helpful.

Note: in some situations while you have big trouble

with noise, try finding and fixing the interference

source, rather than operating your Fish finder with

a very high Noise Filter value.

To set the Noise Filter:

1.2 MAGIC GRAYLINE

Grayline is used to let you see both strong and weak

signals on the display.

If Grayline is “inversed”, weak returns will be shown

with dark pixels and strong returns with lighter pixels.

This is very helpful of ensuring that weak signals will

be clearly visible on the display;

If Grayline is “on”, strong returns will be shown with

dark pixels and weak returns with lighter pixels. This

is very helpful of ensuring that strong signals will be

clearly visible on the display:

1.3 FISH ID SENSOR

Fish ID Sens. is used to adjust the threshold of fish

size detection.

If you select a higher setting, then some weaker

returns can be detected and displayed as small fish

on screen, which will be very helpful when you are

intending to identify small fish species.

If you select a lower setting, then only strong returns

can be detected and displayed as big fish on screen,

which will be very helpful when you are intending to

catch larger fish species.

2. DISPLAY

Depth Range

Depth Range determines in which portion the bottom

will display in the screen. (for example, if the actual depth

is 10m, and the current Depth Range is 20m, then the

bottom will display on 50% portion of the screen).

There are total 10 levels for the depth range setting:

a) With feet unit: 10, 15, 25, 35, 50, 70, 85, 100, 131, Auto

b) With meter unit: 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, Auto

2.2 ZOOM RANGE

Zoom Range is used to enlarge some certain depth

segment, which is helpful for you to see small details,

fish signals and bottom structure.

Your Fish finder has a wonderful performance to see

any depth segment with any scale.

For example, if the current Depth Range is 0~40m, by

setting Zoom Range to 20~25m, you can see the sonar

image of the 20~25m depth segment with a 8x scale.

And by setting it to 20~30m, you can see the sonar

image of the 20~30m depth segment with a 4x scale.

TROUBLESHOOTING

You are not supposed to fix the handheld or the sensor.

The product contains no customizable parts. On the

other hand, the waterproof performance is enabled by

unique techniques, functions of which may be disabled

by unauthorised disassembly. On this account, only

professional maintenance personnel properly authorised

by the Company are entitled to any repair necessary.

We have been contacted frequently by our customers

requesting repair service. We inspect their products

and find many of them are not in need of repair: the

problems occur because some customers are not very

acquainted with product usage. And we are forced to

label these products as “inapplicable for maintenance”

and return them to the customers.

Therefore, in the event of problems during product use,

we invite you to read the following troubleshooting part

carefully before you send the product for maintenance.

28

1. No signal on screen

If the Fish finder fails to receive signals from the sensor,

it will stop updating the screen (which will then remain

unchanged).

Under any circumstances, if the sonar unit cannot

receive signals transmitted by the RES sensor the

screen will seem the same until signals are restored.

1) FC500 is a product depending upon line of sight.

Obstacles between the handheld and the sensor can

contribute to signal loss.

2) FC500 has a detection depth ranging from 0.6 to 30

meters. Incorrect readings may appear in water areas

with depth less than 0.6m. Additionally, considering

the sonar physical characters, we suggest you avoid

using the product in shallow or small- sized enclosed

water areas.

Note: the depth is calculated from the bottom of

sensor, which is fixed on your bait boat.

3) The maximum remote-control distance for the sensor

reaches 1000 feet (300m). If the sensor with the bait

boat moves out of the range, inconsistent signals will

happen or even no signals will be transmitted to the

sonar unit.

29

TROUBLESHOOTING (cont...)

2. Nothing is displayed after the fish finder is

powered

Be sure the battery’s positive and negative poles are

correctly oriented in the holder. Also, check if the battery

has enough capacity.

3. When using the device in shallow water areas,

the screen does not display things normally and

depths are not indicated with consistency

Wff1 has a depth capability from 0.6 to 30m, however

due to the sonar character; the sensor cannot achieve

the best performance in shallow water. Generally

speaking, please use wff1 in water area not shallow

than 1.0m.

4. The picture displayed on the screen vibrates

The picture vibrates because the sea bottom depth

being scanned is changing. Since the depth range used

by the current test signal and by the previous test signal

differs, plus the varying height of water bottom, pictures

displayed on the screen will occupy different heights,

causing the vibrating phenomenon.

30

5. Nothing appears on the display even you can

see fish under the sensor

a) Oil, dirt and fuel might cause a film to form on the

sensor and reduce its effectiveness. Cleaning the

surface of the transducer might help.

b) Electrical noise nearby can interfere with the sonar,

which will cause some weaker signals being eliminated.

6. The display become so cluttered that you even

could not achieve a clear bottom

Such cluttered display maybe caused because:

a) The water is too low

b) The water is too turbid

c) There is so much debris in the water,

7. The sonar unit cannot reach 300m. There is a

abnormal display on the display, and when the

bait boat is about 60~70m. Faraway, the sonar

unit stops working

a) Please confirm the sensor is mounted at the proper

location on your bait boat. An improper mounting

location will cause abnormal display.

b) The radio performance is easily affected by cloudy

or rainy day, which will cause the Remote Control

distance decreasing greatly.

31

MAINTENANCE

With a view to making use of your Fish finder,

we recommend you follow the steps below and

carry out maintenance.

1. for the case

Cleaning the sonar unit’s outer case (except for the

screen) with a cloth dipped mild detergent solution,

and then wipes it dry.

2. for the screen

Use a piece of soft cloth or pelt to clean the screen

(fresh water or eyeglass cleaner can be used if

needed). Stubborn dirt or oil stains remaining on the

screen shall not be wiped with force; otherwise it

may scratch the surface.

Additionally, give daily attention to ensure the screen

is keep away from any chemicals.
