For ice fishing, the transducer can be suspended directly into the ice hole. Connect the transducer cable to the corresponding port on the back of the HOOK2 unit.

4.1 Podstawowa nawigacja i wyświetlanie

The HOOK2 features a simple keypad for navigation. Use the arrow keys to move through menus and adjust settings. The 'Pages' button cycles through different display views (Sonar, GPS, etc.). The 'Enter' button confirms selections, and the 'X' button cancels or goes back.

4.2 Sonar Display Interpretation

The sonar display shows the bottom contour, fish arches, and structure. Fish typically appear as arches or inverted V-shapes. The depth is indicated on the left side of the screen. The autotuning sonar automatically adjusts settings for the clearest image, but manual adjustments can be made via the menu.

4.3 Nawigacja GPS

The GPS model allows you to track your movement and generate basic maps on the fly. You can view your current coordinates and track your path. This feature is particularly useful for navigating in areas without pre-loaded charts or for marking productive fishing spots.

4.4 Waypoint Management

Mark waypoints at locations of interest, such as productive fishing holes or underwater structures. To mark a waypoint, press the 'Waypoint' button. You can then edit the waypoint's symbol to categorize it (e.g., a fish symbol for a productive spot). This allows for easy identification and navigation back to these locations.

5. Konserwacja

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HOOK2 Fish Finder, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Czyszczenie: After each use, wipe down the unit and transducer with a damp szmatką. Unikaj środków czyszczących o działaniu ściernym i rozpuszczalników.

• Pielęgnacja baterii: Always use the provided charger. Do not overcharge or deep discharge the battery.

6. Rozwiązywanie Problemów
