This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding, boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect shallow water or submerged objects. WARNING! The electronic chart in your Humminbird unit is an aid to navigation designed to facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners contain all of the current information needed for the safety of navigation, and the captain is responsible for their prudent use. WARNING! Compass Safe Distance: The control head must be installed at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) from the compass or other magnetic equipment on the boat. Also, see your compass installation guide for details. WARNING! This device is granted for use in Mobile only configurations in which the antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 8 inches (20 cm) from all person and not be co-located with any other transmitters except in accordance with FCC and Industry Canada multi-transmitter product procedures. WARNING! Humminbird is not responsible for the loss of data files (waypoints, routes, tracks, groups, recordings, etc.) that may occur due to direct or indirect damage to the unit’s hardware or software. It is important to back up your control head’s data files periodically. Data files should also be saved to your PC before restoring the unit’s defaults or updating the software. Review the information in this manual for details. WARNING! Disassembly and repair of this electronic unit should only be performed by authorized service personnel. Any modification of the serial number or attempt to repair the original equipment or accessories by unauthorized individuals will void the warranty. WARNING! This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. WARNING! Do not travel at high speed with the unit cover installed. Remove the unit cover before traveling at speeds above 20 mph. NOTE: Some features discussed in this manual require a separate purchase, and some features are only available on international models.

NOTE: When the SOLIX control head equipment and accessories are first installed, the Setup Guide provides the prompts to guide you through configuring the unit. The Setup Guide includes important steps to configure the control head with the equipment, including vessel dimensions, map source selection, and offset menus. See your control head installation guide to configure the unit for the first time. Power On 1. Press the POWER key. 2. Select Start Normal Mode. 3. When the first view is displayed on the screen, the control head is ready for operation. Start Radar Transmission If a Radar is connected to the control head network, use the following instructions to start radar transmission. WARNING! The radar should be configured by a qualified radar technician after installation or equipment repair. See Installation Information: Configure Humminbird Radar. 1. Confirm the radar power source is turned on (breaker or switch). 2. Press the POWER key. 3. Humminbird CHIRP Radar: Under Radar, select Standby. Press the POWER key again, and select Transmit. Humminbird Radar: Select Radar Transmit. Tap the on/off button, or press the ENTER key, to turn it on.

If you’ve connected other separate-purchase equipment to the control head network, such as AIS, Compass/Heading Sensor, Radar, i-Pilot Link, 360 Imaging, and more, use these instructions to confirm the equipment is detected and communicating with the control head. 1. Press the HOME key. 2. Review the top, right corner of the status bar. Detected and Active: If a sensor is active and transmitting/receiving, it will be white. See the table below. Connected but not Detected or Active: If a sensor is not detected on the network, or not transmitting/receiving, it will be completely gray. Connected but not Transmitting/Receiving: If a sensor is detected, but is not transmitting/receiving, the icon will be partially gray. In this illustration, the GPS receiver is detected, but it doesn’t have a GPS fix. This feature will vary with the type of icon represented. 3. If the sensors are active, your system is ready for use on the water. For additional system status, select Home > Settings > Network > System Info. If you have connected an accessory to the control head, and the icon is not displaying in the system status bar, check the installation of the accessory and the cable connection to the control head. To change the NMEA 2000 network or multi-control head network sources, see Set up a NMEA 2000 Network and Set up your Humminbird Network. Active Status Icon Sensor Icon Description AIS AIS is on and receiving targets. Bluetooth The Bluetooth wireless remote is connected. Compass The selected compass/heading sensor is on and heading data is being received. GPS The GPS receiver is detected and a GPS fix has been obtained. i-Pilot Link i-Pilot Link is connected, enabled, and actively navigating. Radar The selected radar source is detected and transmitting. 2D Sonar The selected 2D sonar source is detected and pinging. 360 Imaging Sonar The 360 Imaging transducer is pinging data.

In addition to the sensor icon in the status bar, you can also check the GPS reception status in the GPS tool. The GPS tool provides two ways to view the satellites communicating with the GPS Receiver. Yellow indicates that the satellite is being used to determine your current position. Teal indicates that the satellite is being monitored but not used. The following data is also displayed: • Position (latitude and longitude) • GPS Fix Type: reported as No Fix, 2D Fix, 3D Fix, or Enhanced. An Enhanced fix has been augmented using information from WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS. A 3D or Enhanced Fix is required for navigation. • HDOP (the Horizontal Dilution of Precision): a GPS system parameter which depends on the current satellite configuration. HDOP is used to calculate the Estimated Position Error. Open the GPS Tool If there is more than one control head installed on the network, select the control head that is connected directly to the GPS receiver. 1. Press the HOME key. 2. Select the GPS tool. Review Satellites and Signal Strength 1. Under GPS (1), select Satellites. 2. Under GPS (1), select Signal Strength. digital readouts status bar satellites communicating to GPS (1) GPS (1) Satellite Sky Chart GPS (1) Satellites shows a sky chart and numerical data from the selected GPS receiver selected GPS source GPS status icon fix type used satellite (yellow) monitored satellite (teal)

You can also manually change which GPS receiver is the selected source for GPS (1) or GPS (2). To change the GPS sources, see Set up your Humminbird Network. GPS (1) provides position data, Speed over Ground (SOG), Course over Ground (COG), waypoints, routes, tracks, and navigation calculations to the control head. GPS (2) provides position data that is displayed in the GPS (2) data box. boat position (latitude/ longitude) status bar GPS status icon satellites signal strength GPS (1) Signal Strength (bar graph) selected GPS source monitored satellite (teal) and strength level used satellite (yellow) and strength level fix type Signal Strength (GPS 1/GPS 2): displays vertical bar graphs indicating the satellite signal strengths with the respecting CNO (Carrier-to-Noise) value (0 to 60). digital readouts
