Need Help With PiranhaMax 4DI

Featured Replies

I just replaced my bow mounted Lowrance with my first Humminbird and I'm having difficulty navigating the menu.  The main issue is that I can't find the way to turn off the simulator. Until I can figure out how to do that, adjusting the various settings is moot. It was in simulator mode when I first turned it on (before connecting the transducer) and I went through the menu options setting things to my liking.

Anyone familiar with this unit that can help a guy out?  I have the manual and for the life of me can't find the subject anyplace in it.  FYI, the transducer is mounted on my TM, if that makes any difference.

Make sure the transducer is connected, then power up the unit.

That was the first thing I checked. Checked the cable for kinks as it's so long I thought that might have happened when I tucked it under the deck.

There should be an option to put it back to factory defaults, maybe try that.

Update

So I checked out the transducer cable and there are no kinks, or cuts in it and everything looks as it should, but the display is stuck on simulator mode and I can't find any information on how to turn it off. 

Anyone with this unit that can help me out.  I have a Hook2 triple shot mounted in back and this one mounted to the trolling motor. I know my home lake fairly well and can do without the front unit, but I travel to different lakes throughout the season and really need a working unit up front.

Should I just contact Humminbird?
