899Ci problems with viewing Side Image
« on: March 20, 2016, 09:56:33 AM »
Hello Friends,

I purchased a 899ci and installed it late 2015. had only a couple pf trips on it before the ice went on.  now ice is gone and I have managed a couple of trips out.  The problem is it seems there is a interference or something to cause the pictures not to be crisp or at time even view able.

The transducer is on a mobile mount (I have a small bass baby boat).

The transducer is about 1 foot below the water when I deploy to get under way.

I use a electric motor, but I get interference whether if motor is on or off.

The unit has never been able to produce those clear pictures I see from everyone else on the websites of their SI units.

Ive included a couple of pictures to show what i mean, any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

The white horizontal bands across the screen are usually indicative of TM interference ...

http://www.humminbird.com/Category/Support/FAQ/Trolling-Motor-Interference/

Try Restore Defaults under the setup tab to maybe get an errant setting back to default ...

If the issue persists you should call HB ... 1-800-633-1468

I would suggest have some screenshots available from the unit itself instead of third party software ... HB may want see them ...
