To charge the battery, see below (pg. 3). The MarCum LX-9 will operate for 8 hours or more on a fully charged battery. If you are going to be in a situation where you will want to use your system for more than one day without recharging, having a second, fully charged battery with you is cheap insurance that will allow you to get full use out of your system for the duration of your trip.
We recommend setting your stopper to have the transducer down the least amount possible. The LX-9 puts out enough power that in most cases it is not necessary to have your transducer down more than a few inches below the water line to get a good reading.
FISHING IN SHALLOW WATER The LX-9 is designed to be an effective fishing tool in a wide variety of environments. Most of the time, simply turning on the unit at factory default settings is all that is necessary. Shallow water [10 feet or less] can be problematic without making a few adjustments.

Chart Zoom display open. CONE ANGLE INFO A feature unique to the LX-9 is the “Sonar Footprint” that displays the actual area being covered by your transducer while you are fishing. This data is displayed below the Cone Angle Icon, and represents the diameter of the base of the transducer cone.
INTERPRETING SIGNALS DIGITAL DEPTH The digital depth display on the LX-9 provides a quick and easy way to determine depth. Digital Depth is displayed in the center of the circular display, and on the bottom of the vertical displays. It will also show in the upper left corner of the graph in some configurations. This display can be used as a quick reference when setting your zoom or checking depths through the ice.
