| Secure the Control Head Installation
1. Slide the control head into the bracket.
2. Confirm there is enough cable slack to allow for the control head to pivot through its full tilt
range and for connecting or disconnecting the cables.
NOTE: If there is excess cable that needs to be gathered at one location, dress the cable
routed from both directions so that a single loop is left extending from the storage location.
Doubling the cable up from this point, form the cable into a coil. Storing excess cable using
this method can reduce electronic interference.
3. Adjust the control head to the viewing angle you prefer. Hand tighten the gimbal knobs until the
assembly is secured. Hand tighten only!
Remove the Cable Tray (Optional): Squeeze the sides of the cable tray until it releases.

mode automatically if a functioning transducer is detected.
