ICE HELIX® PORTABLE CONVERSION KIT Installation Guide
NOTE: Portable Conversion Kits do not include a battery or battery charger.
1. Move the tie-down straps out of the way so that the battery well is fully accessible.
NOTE: For ease of access to the battery well, move the tiedown straps to the side and secure
them around the handle.
2. Center the foam pad on the battery well.
3. Place the battery on the foam pad and push the battery into the battery well. Make sure the
power cable is fitted snugly into the slot in the well so that the battery does not rest on it, and
that the foam pad fits evenly around the battery well edges.
4. Pull the two battery tie-down straps over the top of the battery and connect both ends of each
strap over the top. Make sure that the straps are pulled tight around the battery and that the
battery is seated securely in the battery well.
NOTE: Do NOT connect the power cable to the battery at this time. You should wait until just
before fishing to connect the power cable to the battery.

| Installing the Transducer
Use the instructions in this section to install the transducer.
WARNING! Always make sure that conditions are safe before walking on the ice.
1. Attach your transducer float to the transducer cable by sliding the cable through the slit in the
float (see the illustration Attaching the Float).
2. Position the float so that the transducer will be submerged in the water, just below the ice.
NOTE: The transducer must be submerged in water for reliable transducer detection. The
bottom of the transducer should be even with the bottom of the ice or hang slightly below
the bottom of the ice.
3. Once you know where you want to position your float, place the cable clamp onto the transducer
cable, above the float. Make sure that the cable is taut, so that the transducer hangs straight
down (see the illustration Attaching the Cable Clamp).
