MAINTENANCE
Your Humminbird Portable fishfinder is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation with
virtually no maintenance. Follow the simple procedures below to ensure that your Humminbird
Portable continues to deliver top performance.
If you are storing the Portable case for an extended period of time, it is best to remove the bat-
teries from the case in case of leakage.
If the Portable case comes into contact with salt spray, simply wipe the affected surfaces with a
cloth dampened in fresh water.
Never leave your Humminbird Portable unit in a closed car or trunk - the extremely high tem-
peratures generated in hot weather can damage the electronics. Repairs should be performed
only by authorized Humminbird technicians.
Replacing the Battery Power Cable
Note: You will not have to install the battery power cable before
first use, but may need to replace it should it become corroded
after prolonged usage in a marine environment.
1. Flip open the rubber cable cover/retainer on the back of the case by pulling on the
tab located at the upper left corner.
2. Make sure the transducer
cable is totally removed
from the cable channel,
detach the power cable
from the control head
and pull the power cable
through the power cable
hole.
3. Using a
¹⁄₄

unscrew the battery cable
ends from the positive and
