Thread: Question about humminbird finder

I think most of them you can put into a demo mode and then play with settings and adjustments. Don’t ask me how to do it though...lol

I did it with my Lowrance Elite 5DSI unit ..... BUT, I had a 2nd power/tdx cord and a jumper battery that I hooked it to for power. If your tdx cord is separate from your power cord, then you'd only need a power cord & a battery.

First thing to check, if your tdx cord is connected to your power cord, is if running the tdx out of the water is OK to do. I ran my E5DSI unit turned on, while on the lake, even when the TM was stowed (the tdx was attached to the TM) and the info I read said it wouldn't hurt the tdx to run it "dry". And I never had any problems with it for all the years I used it that way. I do the same thing with my Hook 7 unit's tdx ... and just put the Garmin 93sv on "Pause" whenever I pull the TM up for a run to another spot.

I hooked it up and everything turns on, but I don’t see any fish yet.,,,wth

Did you try putting transducer in tub or sink?

Maybe later try it on toilet,,,be like live action Mississippi River fishing....

Press the Menu button when you see the HB logo during startup ...

This should give a popup window that allows choosing Normal, Simulator, or System Status ...

Power cycle the unit to get out of Simulator ...

Hey Buddy, Do what rnvic said. Call me one day, merry Christmas.

You need a 12V 3A "wall wart", or other suitable 12V power supply, and an extra power cable to power it up at your desk. I just run the head, and leave the transducer on the boat.
