SpotlightScan | Operation Manual

SpotlightScan Sonar shows structure and ﬁsh targets ahead and

around the boat without disturbing these areas before you have a

chance to ﬁsh them.

The SpotlightScan transducer can be used for SpotlightScan

imaging, Downscan imaging or as a conventional broadband

transducer.

¼Note: Screen captures shown in this manual were taken on a HDS

Gen2 Touch.

SpotlightScan comes with a trolling motor position sensor that

ensures SpotlightScan returns match up correctly with the

orientation of your boat.

The SpotlightScan transducer can be used with any MotorGuide

or Minn Kota cable-steer trolling motor. Its scanning speed is

controlled by the amount of pressure placed on the trolling motor

foot pedal.

¼Note: Rotate the trolling motor at a slow, constant speed to achieve

the best results.

¼Note: Experienced trolling motor users will achieve better results

with the SpotlightScan system.

Displaying SpotlightScan view

SpotlightScan images are viewed on the Structure

page. You can set up combo pages to view

SpotlightScan images and broadband sonar and/or

Downscan imaging at the same time. You will not

be able to view SpotlightScan and SideScan at the

same time.

1. Access the Structure page

2. Select View

3. Select Spotlight

SpotlightScan image alignment

You must align the SpotlightScan transducer image with the

direction the trolling motor is pointing.

If the SpotlightScan image is not correctly aligned with the trolling

motor, the orientation of the image will not match the underwater

environment around your boat.

1. Position your trolling motor so it is pointing straight ahead

2. Access the Advanced menu

3. Select Position adjustment

4. Move the Position adjustment scroll bar so the top of the “V” is centered at

the top of the display.

¼Note: The “V” on the Structure display represents the beams of the

SpotlightScan transducer. The wide end of the “V” should be aligned

in the direction the trolling motor is pointing.

¼Note: Do not use the arrow indicator on the trolling motor head as a

heading reference as it may not be aligned correctly with the trolling

motor.

Range

You can control how much of the area around your boat appears on

the display by increasing or decreasing the range.

Frequency

SpotlightScan can be used at 800kHz or 455 kHz. 800kHz provides

the highest resolution with less range. 455kHz has the best range,

but with lower resolution.

SpotlightScan operation tips

• Remove slack in the trolling motor cable to prevent image distortion.

• Rotate the trolling motor at a slow, constant speed to achieve the

best results.

• Auto range adjusts the range with the water depth to maximize the

viewing area. This is best when searching for structure.

• Auto range will clear/redraw the image as the range changes. Use a

manual range to maintain a constant image.

• Reducing the range will increase the size of the water column,

providing the best view of ﬁsh activity beneath the boat.
