The 491 connects with a Northstar navigator and a third-party transducer to add echo sounding capability to the Northstar 957, 958, 961, and 962 navigators. See the Northstar 491 Installation Manual (part number GM495) for recommended transducers. You may be adding the 491 to your existing Northstar navigator for echo sounding, or you may have purchased your navigator complete with echo sounding. In either case, the 491 should be installed and configured by a qualified marine technician. To get started right away, Section 2, ”Quick Start: Using the Echo Sounder,” starting on page 2-11. CAUTION! Proper installation and configuration of your Northstar 491 is of utmost importance for accurate and effective performance under a variety of conditions. To get the best performance from your 491, Northstar strongly recommends installation and set-up by a qualified marine technician. For installation procedures, see the Northstar 491 Echo Sounder Installation Manual (Part Number GM495). Using this manual Organization Chapter 1 introduces you to the 491 echo sounder and to this operations manual. Chapter 2 gives you a quick-start introduction to get you started with echo sounding as soon as the 491 has been installed and configured. Chapter 3 tells how to adjust the echo sounder’s display—the gain, clutter, colors, etc. Page 2 491 Echo Sounder Operations Man...
