Raymarine DS400 & DS500 用户手册

Chapter 3: Getting Started

27

This chapter provides basic instructions to get you started using the DS400/
500 Digital Fishfinder. It describes Simulator mode and can help you to 
become familiar with the basic functions of the fishfinder’s operation 
controls. More detailed information on using the menu items and display 
controls is provided in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5, respectively.

Connect the power cord to boat’s power source and plug into the power port 
on the connector panel. Press the PWR button on the DS400/500.

Details on setting up your DS400/500 and display are given in Chapter 6.

If you have not fully installed the fishfinder, you can still operate in Simulator 
mode by connecting the fishfinder to a 12VDC power supply. 

Figure 3-1 demonstrates how to setup the DS400/500 for Simulator mode. 
Attach the red wire from the power lead to positive (+) and the black wire to 
negative (–). 

When you power up the DS400/500 without connecting the transducer, the 
unit enters Demo mode. This provides a preprogrammed demonstration 
highlighting the fishfinder’s main features. This function enables you to 
practice operating the fishfinder without data from the transducer, using 
simulated data.

If the transducer is connected, you can enter Simulator Mode by following 
instructions outlined on page 74.
