WARNING! This device should not be used as a navigational aid to prevent collision, grounding,
boat damage, or personal injury. When the boat is moving, water depth may change too quickly
to allow time for you to react. Always operate the boat at very slow speeds if you suspect
shallow water or submerged objects.
WARNING! Remove the Fishin´ Buddy® from the mounting bracket support arm ring when the
boat is traveling. Use the Fishin´ Buddy® at trolling speed only. Traveling at high speed with the
Fishin´ Buddy® attached can cause damage to this device.
CAUTION: Do not handle the bottom of the transducer while it is transmitting sonar. Prolonged
contact with the transducer element can cause physical discomfort or minor tissue damage.
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the C-clamp. Turning the C-clamp knob more than recommended
may cause permanent damage. See the instructions for Attaching the Fishin´ Buddy® Mounting
Bracket to the Boat.

Fishin’ Buddy® Sonar Technology
The Fishin’ Buddy® is the easiest to use fishfinder ever. For most anglers, all you’ll ever
need to do is power on and fish! The Fishin’ Buddy® automatically determines depth and
makes adjustments to keep the bottom and fish visible on the display.
Your Fishin’ Buddy® will have Downlooking Sonar only, or Downlooking and
SideFinding™ sonar. Find the correct sonar description that applies to your unit.
Downlooking Sonar
Your 110 Fishin’ Budduses a 200 kHz Downlooking Sonar system with a
34° area of coverage. Boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and
transducer installation can all affect depth capability.
Downlooking and SideFinding™ Sonar
Your 120, 130 and 140c Fishin’ Buddy® models use 200 kHz Downlooking Sonar and
455 kHz SideFinding™ Sonar. Downlooking and SideFinding™ Sonar is optimized to
show the greatest bottom definition using the (34°) 200 kHz beam yet can still indicate
fish found in the SideFinding™ (10°) 455 kHz beam when the SideFinding™ feature is
turned on. Boat speed, wave action, bottom hardness, water conditions and transducer
installation can all affect depth capability.
What You See on the Downlooking Sonar Display
The Fishin’ Buddy® displays underwater information in an easy-to-understand
format. The top of the display corresponds to the water surface at the transducer,
and the bottom of the display corresponds to the Depth Range automatically
selected for the current water depth. The Bottom Contour varies as the depth under
the boat changes. Digital readouts provide precise information for depth, fish and
water temperature.
As the boat moves, terrain and bottom composition variations are displayed. Fish,
baitfish and thermoclines (underwater temperature changes) are displayed when
detected. Underwater conditions vary greatly, so some experience and interpretation
is needed to realize all the benefits of the Fishin’ Buddy® – use the picture as a guide
to the most common conditions and practice using your Fishin’ Buddy® over known
bottom types.
What You See on the SideFinding™ Display
Cone - The transducer cone graph on the screen represents the area in which the
100 Series™ Fishin’ Buddy® is searching for fish.
Fish - The symbols displayed in the graph shows where the Fishin’ Buddy® has marked
fish. Even though a fish may quickly move out of the transducer beam, all fish symbols
are displayed for at least five seconds. The symbol does not indicate the size of the fish.

Each shoreline has its own unique characteristics. The 100 Series™ Fishin’ Buddy® can
see all the way up to the shore when the drop-off is sharp or if there are ledges. When
the slope of the bottom is gentle, the Fishin’ Buddy® will not see all the way to the
shoreline. The Fishin’ Buddy® can normally detect spawning fish that build beds
near the shoreline. Direct experience with each shoreline will teach you the Fishin’
Buddy's capabilities.
The best way to understand how your Fishin’ Buddy® "sees" is to imagine that the
transducer is a flashlight and the water is clear. If you are trying to "see" into
weeds, the ability of your flashlight beam to penetrate depends on the thickness
of the weeds. If the weeds are thin, your flashlight beam will penetrate further. If
you are trying to see past an underwater rise to view the shoreline, it is a question
of how high the rise is. You can "see" the shore if you can shine your flashlight
beam above the rise and illuminate the shore in the background.
Occasionally, the Fishin’ Buddy® may falsely mark objects other than fish. This can
occur with air bubble streams from nearby boats or air filled swim ladders. This can
also occur when the Fishin’ Buddy® is aimed at a cement or rock wall due to a
double reflection effect. The 100 Series™ Fishin’ Buddy® is designed to eliminate
false readings, especially with the filter on. Due to the strength of the signal, it is
possible to fool and thus, get an occasional false reading if the unit is working from
a stationary, non-moving boat or a pier. The SideFinding™ filter allows the Fishin’
Buddy® to be much more selective in marking fish. Use the filter around docks and
other structures in the water. The Fishin’ Buddy® will display fewer fish with the
filter on.

Maintenance
Your Fishin’ Buddy® is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation with virtually no
maintenance. Follow these simple procedures to ensure your Fishin’ Buddy® continues to
deliver top performance.
If the unit comes into contact with salt spray, wipe the affected surfaces with a cloth
dampened in fresh water.
Do not use a chemical glass cleaner on the lens - this may cause cracking in the lens.
When cleaning the LCD protective lens, use a chamois and non-abrasive, mild cleaner. Do
not wipe while dirt or grease is on the lens. Be careful to avoid scratching the lens.
If your transducer remains in the water for long periods of time, marine growth can reduce
the effectiveness of the transducer. Periodically clean the face of the transducer with liquid
detergent.
If your transducer remains out of the water for a long period of time, it may take some time
to wet the transducer when returned to the water. Small air bubbles can cling to the surface
of the transducer and interfere with proper operation. These bubbles dissipate with time, or
you can wipe the face of the transducer with your fingers after the transducer is in the water.
Never leave the unit in a closed car or trunk—the extremely high temperatures generated in
hot weather can damage the electronics.
Troubleshooting
Do not attempt to repair the Fishin’ Buddy® yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside, and special tools and techniques are required for assembly to ensure the
waterproof integrity of the housing. Repairs should be performed only by authorized
Humminbird® technicians.
Many requests for repair received by Humminbird® involve units that do not actually need
repair. These units are returned “no problem found.” If you have a problem with your
Fishin’ Buddy®, use the following troubleshooting guide before calling the Customer
Resource Center or sending your unit in for repair.
1. Nothing happens when I turn the unit on.
Check the power cable connection at both ends. Check the power connection to the
Fishin’ Buddy®. It is possible to force the power cable connector into the cable holder
incorrectly. If the connector is reversed, the unit will not work. Examine the contacts on
the back of the unit to ensure there is no corrosion. Check the unit’s batteries; try
changing the batteries.
2. There is no transducer detected.
The Fishin’ Buddy® has the ability to detect and identify that a transducer is connected.
When powering on, if a message indicates “transducer not connected”, make sure that
an appropriate transducer connector is plugged into the unit. In addition, inspect the
transducer for breaks, kinks, or cuts in the outer casing of the cable. Also make sure that
the transducer is fully submerged in water. If none of these actions identifies an obvious
problem, the transducer itself is probably at fault. Be sure to include the transducer if
returning the unit for repair.
3. There is no bottom reading visible on the display.
In very deep water, it may be necessary to increase the sensitivity setting manually
to maintain a graphic depiction of the bottom. The batteries may also need to be
replaced. If none of these actions identifies an obvious problem, the transducer itself
may be at fault. Be sure to include the transducer if returning the unit for repair.
4. When in very shallow water, I get gaps in the bottom reading and inconsistent
digital depth indication.
The Fishin’ Buddy® will work reliably in water 3 feet (90 cm) or deeper. Remember that
the depth is measured from the transducer, not from the surface of the water.
5. The display begins to fade out. Images are not as sharp as normal.
Try adjusting the contrast setting on the Monochrome Models. If this does not help,
replace the batteries..
6. The display shows many black dots.
You are seeing noise or interference caused by one of several sources. Noise can be
caused by electronic devices. Turn off any nearby electronics and see if the problem
goes away. Noise can also be caused by the engine. If engine noise is causing the
interference, the problem will intensify at higher RPMs. Increase the engine speed with
the boat stationary to isolate this cause. Propeller cavitation can also appear as noise
on the display. If the transducer is mounted too close to the propeller, the turbulence
generated can interfere with the sonar signal. Make sure that the transducer is
mounted at least 15" (380 mm) from the propeller.

Even though you'll probably never need to take advantage of our incredible service policy,

after the original warranty will be warranted for an additional 90 days after service has
been performed by our factory technicians. You can contact our Customer Resource

2a. If you are using C-clamp mounting,
loosen the C-clamp by turning it
counterclockwise and then place the
bracket around the gunnel or transom,
resting it on the top surface (or as far
down as possible).
Tighten the C-clamp by turning the knob lightly by hand. The knob will stop turning
when the clamp touches the transom. Then, turn the knob up to two full additional
revolutions. If the mounting bracket is not stable after tightening by hand, try
repositioning the bracket.
OR…
2b. If you are using the permanent
mounting technique, use the four
permanent mounting slots at the base
of the mounting bracket as a drill guide,
and drill four 7/64” pilot holes on the
mounting surface you have selected.
Apply a generous amount of marine-
grade silicone sealant to the holes, then
re-position the mounting bracket, and
attach it to the boat using #10 wood
screws or bolts (not included). Hand
tighten only!

SPECIFICATIONS
Downlooking Sonar
All Fishin' Buddy® models come
equipped with Downlooking Sonar
which sends sound waves from the
bottom of the transducer into the
water directly below the transducer.
SideFinding™ Sonar
120/130/140c Fishin’ Buddy® models
come equipped with SideFinding™
Sonar in addition to the Downlooking
Sonar to scan where you cast and,
with good accuracy, determine which
echoes are from fish and which are
from other objects. Fish that are
startled by your boat and move
away would not be seen with a
conventional depthfinder.
The SideFinding™ SONAR beam
comes out from the flat side of the
transducer housing at the bottom of
the shaft which is aligned with the
handle at the top of the transducer
shaft. When searching for fish, make
sure the handle points toward the
area of your search. The handle faces
the opposite direction from the
transducer.
