Sonar Fishfinder
When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your STRIKER Plus device
can be used as a fishfinder.
For more information about which transducer is best for your needs, go to
www.garmin.com/transducers.
Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The sonar views
available vary depending on the type of transducer and sounder module
connected to the chartplotter. For example, you can view Garmin ClearVü™ sonar
screens only if you have a compatible Garmin ClearVü transducer connected.
There are four basic styles of sonar views available: a full-screen view, a split-
screen view that combines two or more views, a split-zoom view, and a split-
frequency view that displays two different frequencies. You can customize the
settings for each view in the screen. For example, if you are viewing the split-
frequency view, you can separately adjust the gain for each frequency.
If you do not see an arrangement of sonar views to suit your needs, you can
create a custom combination screen.
Traditional Sonar View
There are several full-screen views available, depending on the transducer that is
connected.
Quick Start Manual 3
The full-screen Traditional sonar view shows a large image of the sonar readings
from a transducer. The range scale along the right side of the screen shows the
depth of detected objects as the screen scrolls from the right to the left.

Troubleshooting
My device does not turn on
• Push the power cable all the way into the back of the device.
Even if the cable seems to be connected, you should push firmly so that it is
fully seated.
• Make sure the power source is generating power.
You can check this several ways. For example, you can check whether other
devices powered by the source are functioning.
• Check the fuse in the power cable.
The fuse should be located in a holder that is part of the red wire of the power
cable. Check that the proper size fuse is installed. Refer to the label on the
cable or the installation instructions for the exact fuse size needed. Check the
fuse to make sure there is still a connection inside of the fuse. You can test
the fuse using a multimeter. If the fuse is good, the multimeter reads 0 ohm.
• Check to make sure the device is receiving at least 10 Vdc, but 12 Vdc is
recommended.
To check the voltage, measure the female power and ground sockets of the
power cable for DC voltage. If the voltage is less than 10 Vdc, the device will
not turn on.
My sonar does not work
• Push the transducer cable all the way into the back of the device.
Even if the cable seems to be connected, you should push firmly so that it is
fully seated.
• Press , and ensure sonar is enabled.
• Select the correct transducer type (page 4).
