  Locate the connector hardware kit (the smaller of the two hardware bags). The illustration on the 
hardware bag shows the proper orientation of the various cables into the connector. The power 
cable (identified by a “1” on the plug) is prewired to the battery compartments of the portable 
case. Insert this plug into the connector port labeled “1”. Insert the plug from your 
sensor/transducer (identified by a “2” on the plug) into the connector port labeled “2”. Ports 3 and 
4 are for trolling speed and water temperature accessories, should you choose to purchase them. 
Now assemble the connector and connector cover to the mounting bracket with two screws as 
shown below, making sure that the cables come out through the slots at the bottom of the cover. 
Be careful not to over-tighten the screws. 
 
 
Installing the Platinum ID 
 
  Install the Platinum ID unit onto the mounting bracket by aligning the bracket with the latch cover 
on the rear of the unit and sliding firmly downward until the unit is fully seated. When properly 
installed, all connections will be made automatically and the unit cannot be pulled off its mount 
without first depressing the latch. The unit may now be tilted to the best viewing angle. The 
rubber feet on the outside of the case will help prevent slipping or skidding when adjusting the 
viewing angle.  
 
  The Platinum ID Portable is designed to use two 6-volt lantern batteries with the spring-type 
terminals. Any type of 6-volt lantern battery may be used. However, for maximum battery life we 
recommend using heavy -duty alkaline batteries. 
  The actual life of a set of batteries can vary greatly depending on the type of batteries, the 
temperature, and use of the backlight. At temperatures above 70 degrees, with a new set of 
heavy -duty alkaline batteries, and without using the backlight, you can expect about 65 hours of 
operation. As the temperature decreases, battery life will also decrease. If possible, keep the 
batteries warm during use to maximize their life. 
 
 
Installing the Batteries
 
 
  To install the batteries, first remove the two battery covers located on each side of the lower 
case. To do this, grasp the front of the cover by the handle provided and lift upward to release, as 
shown below. Orient the batteries as shown and insert them into the battery compartments, 
making sure that the spring terminals make good contact with the brass terminal strips and that 
the batteries are fully seated. Replace the battery covers by first inserting the tab at the rear of 
the cover into the slot in the lower case, then pushing down on the front of the cover. The cover 
will snap into place, and battery installation is complete.
