1 Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of digital sonar and GPS! We know you're anxious to begin navigating and finding fish, but we have a favor to ask.
2 After you've gained some experience with your sonar, you'll want to check out Section 4, which discusses more advanced Sonar Options and Other Features .
3 Now, if you're into the fine details, glance over the next segment on specifications to see just how much sonar and GPS power your unit con- tains.
4 Maximum transmitter power: ....... LMS-335C DF: 4,000 watts peak-to-peak/500 watts RMS. LMS-330C: 2,400 watts peak-to-peak/300 watts RMS. Sonar sounding depth capability: ........... LMS-335C DF: 2,500 feet/762 meters. LMS-330C: 900 feet/275 meters.
5 Mapping memory: ............ More than 256 MB on one MMC (or SD) card. Position updates: .......... Every second. Position points: ............. 1,000 waypoints; 1,000 event marker icons. Audible alarms: ............. Arrival/off-course/anchor. Graphic symbols for waypoints or event marker icons: .
6 The receiver amplifies this return signal, or echo, and sends it to the display, where an image of the object appears on the scrolling sonar chart. The sonar's microprocessor calculates the time lapse between the transmitted signal and echo return to determine the distance to the object.
7 The performance doesn't stop there. Stored in the permanent memory of each GPS unit is a basic background map of the entire world. We lock it in here at the factory — you can't change or erase this map.
8 tail than the basic background map. These Custom Map Files (file format *.lcm) can also be shared between other Lowrance GPS or so- nar/GPS units and personal computers.
9 A minimum of three satellites are required to determine a 2D fix. The system requires signal reception from three satellites in order to determine a position. This is called a 2D fix. It takes four satellites to determine both position and elevation (your height above sea level — also called altitude.
10 However, there are some fringe areas of the U.S., including parts of Alaska, that do not yet receive robust WAAS coverage. Continued WAAS development is planned to extend WAAS coverage in the years to come. WAAS boosts the accuracy of land GPS navigation, but the system is designed for aircraft.
11 • Operates like a Windows Multimedia Player with forward, re- verse, pause, fast forward, fast reverse, and scroll buttons. • Adjustments update the entire record displayed. • Can print in full color. • Window can dynamically be sized on your monitor.
12 And that's just some of the material available on our web site. To find out all we have available, go to WWW.LOWRANCE.COM and look around. For now, though, we'll get back to how to use this particular unit. And, first, how to use the manual.
13 3. You are asked to wait while it converts the trail into a route. 4. The wait message disappears and the unit begins showing navigation information along the trail. Now, begin moving and follow your unit's directions. Translated into complete English, step 1 above would mean: "Start on the Map Page.
14 Notes.
15 Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the sonar and GPS systems in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1.
16 Read these instructions carefully before attempting the installation. Determine which of the mounting positions is right for your boat. Re- member, the transducer installation is the most critical part of a sonar installation.
17 at speeds faster than 35 mph. Typically, a good transom location on aluminum boats is between the ribs closest to the engine. 3. The transducer should be installed with its face pointing straight down, if possible. For shoot-thru applications: Many popular fishing boat hulls have a flat keel pad that offers a good mounting surface.
18 usually give you the best combination of smooth water flow and protec- tion from bangs and bumps. Align transducer centerline with hull bottom. However, there are times when you may need to adjust the transducer slightly higher or lower. (The slots in the mounting brackets allow you to loosen the screws and slide the transducer up or down.
19 Second, the transducer angle cannot be adjusted for the best fish arches on your sonar display. (This is not an issue for flasher-style sonars.) Lack of angle adjustment can be particularly troublesome on hulls that sit with the bow high when at rest or at slow trolling speeds.
20 Place the ratchets into the bracket with the letter "A" aligned with the alignment mark mold ed in to t he b rac ket. Pla ce t he ra tch ets onto the transducer with the letter "A" aligned with the 12 o'clo ck position on the transducer stem.
21 If the transducer's face isn't parallel with the ground, remove the transducer and ratchets from the bracket. Place the ratchets into the holes in the bracket with the letter "B" aligned with the dot stamped in the bracket. Reassemble the transducer and bracket and place them against the transom.
22 Assemble transducer and bracket. 3. Assembling the transducer. A. One-piece bracket: Once you determine the correct position for the ratchets, assemble the transducer as shown in the following fig- ure. Don't tighten the lock nut at this time.
23 Position transducer mount on transom and mark mounting holes. Side view shown at left and seen from above at right. 5. Attaching transducer to transom. A. One-piece bracket: Remove the transducer from the bracket and re-assemble it with the cable passing through the bracket over the bolt as shown in the following figures.
24 Align transducer centerline with hull bottom and attach transducer to transom. Rear view of dual-frequency Skimmer shown. 6. Route the transducer cable through or over the transom to the sonar unit. Make sure to leave some slack in the cable at the transducer.
25 TROLLING MOTOR BRACKET INSTALLATION (single-frequency only) 1. Attach the optional TMB-S bracket to the transducer as shown in the following figure, using the hardware supplied with the transducer. (Note: The internal tooth washer is supplied with the TMB-S.
26 Transducer angles and their effects on fish arches. If the arch slopes up – but not back down – then the front of the trans- ducer is too high and needs to be lowered. If only the back half of the arch is printed, then the nose of the transducer is angled too far down and needs to be raised.
27 WARNING: Do not remove any material from your inner hull unless you know the hull's composition. Careless grinding or cutting on your hull can result in damage that could sink your boat. Contact your boat dealer or manufacturer to confirm your hull specifications.
28 To choose the proper location for shoot-thru-hull mounting, follow these testing procedures: (You may need a helper to complete these steps.) 1. Anchor the boat in about 30 feet of water.
29 4. Most people can get good results by following steps 1 through 3, so this step is optional . If you want to make an extra effort to be absolutely sure that your selected location will work under all conditions, make a test run with the boat on plane and observe the bottom signal.
30 2. The epoxy consists of the epoxy itself and a hardener. Remove the two compounds from the package and place them on the paper plate. Thoroughly stir the two compounds together until the mixture has a uniform color and consistency. Do not mix too fast or bubbles will form in the epoxy.
31 to purchase an optional additional sensor for your unit, refer to the ac- cessory ordering information inside the back cover of this manual. The following instructions describe how to install the speed sensor. Recommended tools for this job include: drill, 7/8" drill bit, 1/8" drill bit for pilot holes, screwdriver.
32 If the base of the transom has a radius, fill the gap between the tran- som and the sensor with the sealant. This will help ensure a smooth water flow. Route the sensor's cable through or over the transom to the sonar unit. If you need to drill a hole in the transom to pass the connector through, the required hole size is 7/8".
33 GPS Module Installation Surface Mount The GPS module can be easily installed on any flat surface that is at least 3-1/2" (90 mm) wide. Be sure that a clear, unobstructed view of the sky is available at the selected location.
34 Pole Mount The GPS module attaches to the pole mount adapter with the supplied 4 mm screws. You can route the cable through the slot in the side of the module and down the side of the pole. Or, you can pass it down through the pole mount adapter and run the cable inside the pole.
35 Connecting Directly to the Unit After the module is installed, attach it to the end of the Y-adapter ex- tension cable as shown in the following diagram. To connect it to the unit, insert the extension cable's splitter plug into the Network socket on the back of the unit and your system is ready to use.
36 LGC-2000's connector to one end of the buss adapter cable and attach the other to an available port on the NMEA 2000 buss, as shown in the fol- lowing image. (You will have to use a similar adapter cable to connect the GPS unit to the NMEA buss as described later in this section.
37 Caution: All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for eas- ier installation. The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual wire ends – either by capping them with wire nuts or wrapping them with electrical tape.
38 In saltwater environments we recommend you connect the power cable to the auxiliary power switch included in most boat designs. If that results in electrical interference, or if such a switch is not available, we recommend connecting direct to the battery and in- stalling an inline switch.
39 WARNING: This product must be independently fused with the en- closed 3-amp fuse (or equivalent), even if you connect to a fused accessory or power buss. If a malfunction happens inside the unit, extensive dam- age can occur if the enclosed fuse is not used.
40 As soon as the unit is connected to the network, it will begin receiving shared information. Please note that the buss must be powered to oper- ate. (For more on powering a NMEA 2000 buss, see the instructions earlier in this section.) NMEA 0183 Cable Connections NMEA is a standard communications format for marine electronic equipment.
41 Cable connections shown. Mounting the Unit: Bracket, In-Dash or Portable You can install the unit on the top of a dash with the supplied gimbal bracket. It can also be installed in the dash or mounted on a portable power supply. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional R-A-M bracket mounting system.
42 Optional R-A-M mounting system. Bracket Installation Mount the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power, transducer and GPS antenna/receiver module cables.
43 Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power, transducer and antenna cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so that it covers the hole, holds the cables in position and results in a neat in- stallation.
44 In-Dash Installation You can mount the unit in the dash with an optional FM-5 In-Dash Adapter Kit. The kit includes mounting hardware, a template for cut- ting the hole and an instruction sheet, part 988-0147-43. In-dash mounting template for LMS-335C DF sonar/GPS unit, showing dimensions.
45 The MMC slot is located in a compartment on the front of the case. The compartment door is located at the lower right corner. The following figure shows a close-up with the door opened. Memory card compartment with a 16 MB MMC card installed. To remove an MMC 1.
46 Other Accessories Other accessories include MMC cards, MMC card readers and MapCre- ate™ 6 custom mapping software for your computer. MMC card readers are available in USB and parallel port versions. MapCreate™ 6 CD-ROM, left; MMC card reader for USB ports, right.
47 Section 3: Basic Sonar Operation This section addresses the unit's most basic sonar operations. The in- structions presented in Sec. 3 follow a chronological order. Sec. 4, Sonar Options & Other Features , will discuss other more advanced functions and utilities.

Your unit also includes several special sonar features and options that can help you better interpret the underwater scene.
55 Basic Sonar Quick Reference 1. Mount the transducer, antenna and unit. Connect the unit to electric power and the transducer. (If GPS operation is desired, connect GPS antenna, too.) Make sure the MMC is in. (See complete installation de- tails beginning on page 15.
56 Sonar Operations As you can see from the quick reference on the previous page, basic operation is pretty easy, right out of the box. If you are a sonar novice, try operating the unit with the factory defaults until you get a feel for how it's working.
57 You can change the sensitivity level whether you are in Auto Sensitivity mode or Manual Sensitivity mode. The adjustment method works the same in both modes, but it gives you slightly different results.
58 NOTE: If you want to change the sensitivity in Manual Mode, first turn off Auto Sensitivity: from the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to A UTO S ENSITIVITY | ENT | ↑ to S ENSITIVITY | ENT . Press ↓ or ↑ to pick a different sensitivity setting. When it's set at the desired level, press EXIT .
59 Section 4: Sonar Options & Other Features Material in this section is arranged in alphabetical order. ASP (Advanced Signal Processing) The ASP feature is a noise rejection system built into the sonar unit that constantly evaluates the effects of boat speed, water conditions and interference.
60 3. Press ↓ or ↑ to select a setting, then press ENT . 4. To return to the previous page, press EXIT | EXIT . Alarms This unit has three different types of sonar alarms. The first is the Fish Alarm. It sounds when the Fish I.D. feature determines that an echo is a fish.
61 To adjust and turn on the shallow alarm: 1. Press MENU | MENU | ↓ to A LARMS | ENT | ↓ to S ONAR A LARMS | ENT . 2. Press → to S HALLOW A LARM D EPTH | ENT . 3. Press ↑ or ↓ to change the first number, then press → to move the cursor to the next number and repeat until the depth is correct, then press ENT .
62 At left, Sonar Alarms menu, with Adjust Zone command selected. At right, Adjust Zone Alarm selection box, with Upper selected. 3. To set the upper boundary for the Zone Alarm, use ← or → to select U PPER , then press ↑ or ↓ to move the top of the bar to the desired depth.

64 Chart Speed The rate that echoes scroll across the screen is called the chart speed. The default is maximum; we recommend that you leave the speed set there for virtually all fishing conditions. However, you might consider experimenting with chart speed when you are stationary or drifting very slowly.
65 ColorLine ColorLine lets you distinguish between strong and weak echoes. It "paints" a brighter color on targets that are stronger than a preset value.
66 At left, little ColorLine indicates a soft bottom, probably sand or mud. At right, the wider ColorLine indicates a harder, rocky bottom. Depth Cursor The depth cursor consists of a horizontal line with a digital depth box on the right side. The numbers inside the box show the depth of the cursor.
67 Depth Range - Automatic When turned on for the first time, the bottom signal is automatically placed in the lower half of the screen. This is called Auto Ranging and is part of the automatic function. However, depending upon the bottom depth and the current range, you can change the range to a different depth.
68 NOTE: The sonar's depth capability depends on the transducer installa- tion, water and bottom conditions, and other factors. Depth Range - Upper and Lower Limits Virtually any segment of the water column can be displayed by using the upper and lower limit feature.
69 Normal display, in auto depth range mode, left. At right, display "zoomed" with Upper and Lower Limits focusing on the portion of the water column from 20 feet to 40 feet deep. In the "zoomed" image, note the target definition around the structure.
70 Fish I.D. (Fish Symbols & Depths) The Fish I.D. feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as fish. The microcomputer analyzes all echoes and eliminates surface clutter, thermoclines, and other signals that are undesirable. In most instances, remaining targets are fish.
71 To turn the Fish I.D. feature on: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to S ONAR F EATURES | ENT . 2. Press ↓ to F ISH S YMBOLS | ENT | EXIT | EXIT . To turn off Fish I.D., repeat these instructions. FishTrack The FishTrack feature shows the depth of a fish symbol when it ap- pears on the display.
72 The default frequency is 200 kHz, which is best for use in shallow water (about 300 feet or less). This frequency is the best choice for about 80 percent of the fresh and salt water sport fishing applications. When you get into very deep salt water, 300 to 500 feet or deeper, the 50 kHz fre- quency is the best choice.
73 IceView Chart Mode (Signal Interpretation) IceView color mode was included in your unit because the addition of an optional portable power pack lets your unit double as an ice fishing flasher sonar. But this capability has warm-weather applications, too.
74 Red signals are much larger fish, or fish that are in the center of the sonar cone, almost directly below the transducer. They return the strongest echoes. Signals that are yellow and some other color result from mid-sized fish that are in a transition zone between the center and outer edges of the sonar cone.
75 To record or log chart data: 1. Press MENU | ↓ to L OG S ONAR C HART D ATA | ENT . 2. To record data using the default settings, press ENT . The menu clears and the Sonar Page title bar shows the name of the file you are record- ing. Warning messages will appear as recording time begins to run out.
76 When selected, the data type shifts to the top of the data list and a check mark appears beside the data type. (If you wish, you may now use ↓ or ↑ to select other Data Types for display.) Data list showing "Ground Speed" selected to display on Sonar Page.
77 The data will be shown in the new font size. To return to the previ- ous page, press EXIT | EXIT . At left, Map Page showing boat cruising Puget Sound, Washington, with Overlay Data turned on. This example shows Depth, Ground Speed and the Steering Arrow.
78 When using HyperScroll, you may also need to manually decrease the sensitivity for optimum performance. Depending on water depth and other conditions, HyperScroll may cause a second bottom echo to return to the transducer during the next ping cycle, or sounding.
79 screen. This allows you to better see the virtually instantaneous sonar returns, just as you would on a flasher sonar unit. For more informa- tion on FasTrack, see its entry in this section. Reset Options This command is used to reset all features, options and settings to their original factory defaults.
80 Set Keel Offset This unit measures water depth from the face of the transducer. Since the transducer is installed below the water surface, the distance dis- played by the digital depth, chart depth scale, chart cursor or fish sym- bols is not the exact water depth.
81 3. Press → to the first number, then press ↑ to change the number to 1. 4. Press → to the second number, them press ↑ to change the num- ber to 5, then press EXIT . The depth indicators now accurately show the water depth from surface to bottom.
82 At left, Sonar Menu with Sensitivity command selected. At right, the Sensitivity Control Bar. To adjust sensitivity in manual mode: 1. First, turn off Auto Sensitivity: from the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to A UTO S ENSITIVITY | ENT . 2. Press ↑ to S ENSITIVITY | ENT and the Sensitivity Control Bar appears.
83 To change the chart mode color scheme: 1. From the Sonar Page, press MENU | ↓ to S ONAR F EATURES | ENT . 2. Press ↓ to S ONAR C OLOR M ODE | ENT . 3. Press ↓ or ↑ to Mode Name | ENT . 4.

84 Full Sonar Chart. The Overlay Data (depth and water temperature) are set to different text sizes. Split Zoom Sonar Chart A split chart shows the underwater world from the surface to the bot- tom on the right side of the screen. The left side shows an enlarged ver- sion of the right side.
85 Digital Data. Customizing the Digital Data Screen The Digital Data screen can be customized to show digital data differ- ent from the defaults first shown. To customize this screen: 1. From the Sonar Page (in Digital Data mode), press MENU | ↓ to C USTOMIZE | ENT .
86 Options List for customizing Digital Data boxes. At left, the list first ap- pears with Water Temperature selected. At right, Maximum Speed has been picked to replace Water Temperature in the top digital data box. Tip: You can customize other digital data boxes before returning to the Sonar Page.
87 FlashGraf page. Flasher We've also included a full-screen flasher for those times you need to see all the detail. Like FlashGraf, the Flasher page represents a flasher style sonar, but without the additional data boxes and narrow scrolling chart.
88 Map With Sonar split screen option. At far left, the full Map Page is shown. The Pages Menu with the Map option list is shown in the center. At right, the Map With Sonar split screen is shown. When this screen is activated, you need to specify which side the Menu, Zoom In and Zoom Out keys correspond to.
89 NOTE: With Simulate Position checked, the simulator will also automatically run the GPS simulator (if GPS data was recorded with the sonar log). 2. To use the default sonar chart log stored in the unit, press ENT | EXIT . The recorded chart begins scrolling across the screen, just as if you were on the water.
90 Tip: There's more than one way to play a recorded sonar chart. You can also turn on the simulator from the MMC files list. Here's how: 1. Press MENU | MENU | ↓ to B ROWSE MMC F ILES | ENT | ENT . 2. Press ↓ or ↑ to chart name | ENT | ↓ to P LAY | ENT | EXIT .
91 Surface Clarity The markings extending downward from the zero line on the chart are called "surface clutter." These markings are caused by wave action, boat wakes, temperature inversion and more. The surface clarity control reduces or eliminates surface clutter sig- nals from the display.
92 Upper and Lower Limits See the entry in this section for Depth Range - Upper and Lower Limits Zoom & Zoom Bar "Zooming" the display is a common, fast and easy method used to en- large small detail, fish signals and the bottom with its associated struc- ture.
93 By "pointing" your zoom at different portions of the chart as it scrolls, you can get a good, close-up look at structure or cover below you. To use Zoom Pan, switch to a manual depth Range setting (see page 67) and turn on 2X or 4X Zoom. Then, simply press ↑ or ↓ to pan up and down the water column.
94 Notes.
95 Section 5: Sonar Troubleshooting If your unit is not working, or if you need technical help, please use the following troubleshooting section before contacting the factory customer service department. It may save you the trouble of returning your unit for repair.
96 3. The water may be deeper than the sonar's ability to find the bottom. If the sonar can't find the bottom signal while it's in the automatic mode, the digital sonar display will flash continuously. It may change the range to limits far greater than the water you are in.
97 To eliminate or minimize the effects of electrical noise, first try to de- termine the cause. With the boat at rest in the water, the first thing you should do is turn all electrical equipment on the boat off.
98 Notes.
99 Section 6: Basic GPS Operations This section addresses the unit's most basic GPS operations. The tuto- rials presented in Sec. 6 follow a chronological order. Sec. 7, Advanced GPS Operations , will discuss other more advanced functions and utili- ties.
100 3. MENU – Press this key to show the menus and submenus, which allow you to select a command or adjust a feature. This also accesses search functions for streets, intersections, addresses and highway exits.

102 Timers command: controls the up timer, down timer and alarm clock settings. Browse MMC Files command: this allows you to view the installed MMC card and the files it contains. Pages The unit has four Page displays that represent the four major operating modes.
103 WARNING: Do not begin navigating with this unit until the numbers have stopped flashing! Satellite Status Page. Left view indicates unit has not locked on to any satellites and does not have a fix on its position. Center view shows sat- ellites being scanned.
104 This also gives you an indicator of the fix quality the unit currently has. The smaller the position error number, the better (and more ac- curate) the fix is. If the position error flashes dashes, then the unit hasn't locked onto the satellites, and the number shown isn't valid.
105 NOTE: Remember, when the Speed, Track and Position information dis- plays are flashing, satellite lock has not been achieved and no posi- tion fix has been determined. A question mark will also flash on the present position arrow in the center of the compass rose.
106 The cross track error range is shown on the compass rose as a wide, white, corridor enclosing the course line. The outer edges of this white corridor represent lines that show the current cross track error range. The default for the cross track error range is 0.
107 The arrow in the center of the screen is your present position. It points in the direction you're traveling. The magenta line extending from the back of the arrow is your plot trail, or path you've taken. The map zoom range is the distance across the screen.
108 Map Pages with high-detail MapCreate map of an urban area loaded on the MMC. At left, arterial streets are visible at the 4 mile zoom range. Center, numerous dots representing Points of Interest are visible at the 2 mile range, along with minor streets.
109 NOTE: Available through LEI Extras (look inside back cover for accessory ordering information), FreedomMaps are pre-made maps that con- tain all of the same information available in a custom MapCreate map, without any of the work of preparation. When the map is zoomed out far enough, most POIs appear as square dots.
110 The Pages Menu also offers several map display options under the Map Page category. To access them, press PAGES | ← or → to M AP | ↓ to Op- tion | EXIT . Digital Data map page option.

Press an arrow key perpendicular to the centerline to adjust the window widths. Press an arrow key parallel to the centerline to switch between horizontal and vertical layout.
112 Basic GPS Quick Reference Start outdoors, with a clear view of the open sky. As you practice, try navigating to a location at least a few blocks away. While you're learning, navigation in too small an area will constantly trigger arrival alarms.
113 Find Your Current Position Finding your current position is as simple as turning the unit on. Un- der clear sky conditions, the unit automatically searches for satellites and calculates its position in approximately one minute or less. NOTE: "Clear sky" means open sky, unobstructed by terrain, dense foliage or structures.
114 The selected wreck (the Empress) to the southeast is 12.81 miles away. Selecting Any Map Item With the Cursor 1. Use the zoom keys and the arrow keys to move around the map and find the item you wish to select. 2. Use the arrow keys and center the cursor cross-hair on the desired ob- ject.
