POWER CONNECTIONS -PERMANENT MOUNT UNITS ONLY

IMPORTANT! INSTALL THE TRANSDUCER BEFORE WIRING THE POWER CABLE!

The Fish ID 128 works from a 12 volt DC system only. For the best results,
run the power cable directly to the boat’s battery. Keep the power cable
away from other boat wiring, especially the engine’s wires. This will give the
best isolation from electrical noise. If the supplied cable is not long enough
to reach the battery, splice #18 gauge insulated wire to it. If you do extend
the power cable, make certain to attach the in-line fuse holder supplied with
the unit to the battery or power source. This will protect both the unit and
the power cable in the event of a short. Use only a 3-amp fuse.

IMPORTANT!

Do not use this product without a 3-amp fuse wired into the power cable!
Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty!

You can also attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss,
however, you may have problems with electrical interference. This unit has
reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the power wires are
reversed. However, the unit will not work until the wires are attached
correctly.
