Use the sensitivity control to adjust the strength of the sonar signal to optimize the display for your fishing conditions. Start with a lower sensitivity and gradually increase it until you get a clear and detailed view of the underwater environment.
The sonar returns appear as colored or grayscale images on the screen. Fish are usually represented as arches or fish icons, while structure and bottom contours are displayed as lines or various shapes. Refer to the color palette legend provided to understand the representation of different sonar returns.
Firstly, check if the power cable is securely connected to the fish finder and the power source. Ensure that the power source is turned on and supplying electricity. If the issue persists, check the fuse in the power cable for any damages or try connecting the fish finder to a different power source.
Navigate to the menu options and locate the Display settings. Here, you can adjust the brightness, contrast, color palette, and other visual settings to enhance the readability of the screen. Experiment with different settings to find the best configuration for your specific fishing environment.
Start by ensuring the transducer is properly installed and fully submerged in water. Check if any vegetation or debris is obstructing the transducer. If everything seems normal, navigate to the Sonar settings and perform a manual depth calibration to ensure accurate depth readings.

Yes, the Humminbird HELIX 5 fish finder (model number 1435440) includes a feature called Fish ID. Fish ID+ utilizes advanced signal processing to interpret sonar returns and show fish symbols on the Sonar View when certain conditions are met. You can enable or disable Fish ID+ in the Sonar settings menu. When Fish ID+ is enabled, fish symbols will be displayed on the Sonar View, with the color of the symbols indicating the location of the sonar beam. The depth of the fish is also shown above the symbol. You can adjust the sensitivity for fish detection and receive alerts with the Fish ID Alarm enabled. To adjust the Fish ID sensitivity, go to the Sonar settings menu and select Fish ID Sensitivity. To activate the Fish ID Alarm, go to the Alarms settings menu and select Fish ID Alarm.
