Page 3: Introduction
At no time should your Marcum be allowed to be in direct contact with water, and if it does get wet, every attempt should be made to get your system dried off as soon as possible. -
Page 4: Ice System Set-Up
Your LX-5 comes virtually ready to fish. All you need to do is hook up the positive lead from the LX-5 power cord to the battery. Your LX5 is delivered with a charged battery, so you can take it fishing right away. Inside the LX-5 deluxe softcase is an electronics shuttle that has recessed compartments for the battery and the dual beam transducer. - Page 5 www.marcumtech.com Gain Knob - The Gain knob controls the amount of sensitivity required by the unit to pick up objects like bottom, weeds, fish, smaller bait-fish, or small lures and jigs. The lower the number, the less sensitivity, conversely higher numbers mean more sensitivity.
- Page 6 The blinking YELLOW lights will assist you in setting the location and act as a visual reference. The benefit to the MarCum design is that it allows you to move your Zoom window between surface and bottom, and in turn, zoom in on any 5- or 10-foot section of water (on the 20-foot depth range).

Page 7: Battery Charging
Battery Charging Your Marcum system comes with a 3-stage battery charger. This style of charger has proven to be the most effective and easiest to use of all charging systems available. While the rate of charge is low, a completely discharged battery can be brought back to a full charge in as little as 12 hours. -
Page 8: Some Common Sense Safety Tips
www.marcumtech.com A 3-Stage charger works like this— Stage 1 (Bulk Stage): Constant current charging at a high voltage level at maximum amperage to minimize charge time. Stage 2 (Absorption Stage): Current tapers off for final 10% of charge. Stage 3 (Maintenance Stage): Lower voltage mode to prevent electrolyte loss, keeping your battery at full charge indefinitely. - Page 9 www.marcumtech.com Reading Bottom - In interpreting depth, always read the leading edge (shal- lowest side) of the signal return. If you have a strong signal return (wide band of RED light) and it starts at 13 feet and ends at 16 feet, the correct depth is 13 feet or the shallowest leading edge of the return signal.

www.marcumtech.com User Tips Reading Through Ice - The LX-5 will provide accurate information reading through ice providing the ice is reasonably clear. To check the depth through the ice, wet the ice with about a cup of water to improve the coupling of the transducer to the ice. -
Page 11: Open Water Set-Up
www.marcumtech.com Open Water Set-Up The LX-5 is an excellent sonar unit for open-water use. To convert the LX-5 from an ice system to an open water unit, remove the LX-5 powerhead, gimbal bracket and power cord from the softcase. The gimbal bracket can be mounted on any flat surface. -
