INTR ODUCTION The X-75 and X-85 are the latest members of the Lowrance family that combines a high performance sonar with a wide, high definition screen. Using menu features and “soft-key” operation, these units are also easy to use. The wide screen shows the underwater world with high resolution and detail.
POWER CONNECTIONS The unit works from a twelve-volt battery system. For the best results, attach the power cable directly to the battery. You can attach the power cable to an accessory or power buss, however you may have problems with electrical interference.

LOWRANCE 192 kHz TRANSDUCER POWER TO SAM-50HPD (NOT INCLUDED) CONNECTORS The diagram above shows the three connectors on the back of the sonar unit. Looking at the back of the unit, the 192 kHz transducer connector is at the far left. Plug the 192 kHz transducer in here.
Transducer Installation Some of the models covered by this manual have a transom-mount transducer included. There two different transducers that could be packed with your unit. One is a 20° cone angle "Skimmer" transducer that can be mounted on the transom or epoxied inside certain boats to "shoot-thru" the hull.
Shoot-thru-hull v.s. Transom Mounting (20° Transducer Only) Typically, shoot-thru-hull installations give excellent high speed opera- tion and good to excellent depth capability. There is no possibility of damage from floating objects. It can't be knocked off when docking or loading on the trailer.
2. Slide the tr ansducer between the two ratchets . T emporally slide the bolt though the transducer assemb ly and hold it against the transom. Looking at the transducer from the side , check to see if it will adjust so that its f ace is parallel to the ground.

5. Remo ve the transducer from the br ack et and re-assemble it with the cable passing through the br ack et ov er the bolt as shown abo ve . At- tach the transducer to the transom. Slide the transducer up or do wn until it’ s aligned proper ly on the transom as sho wn abov e.
SHOOT-THRU-HULL (20° Transducer Only) The transducer installation inside a fiberglass hull must be in an area that does not have air bubbles in the resin or separated fiberglass layers.
TRANSDUCER LOCATION (HIGH SPEED) TRANSDUCER LOCATION (TROLLING SPEED) 2. Follow the instructions on the epoxy package and mix it thoroughly. Do not mix it too fast, as it will cause bubbles to form in the epoxy. Apply a small amount on the face of the transducer as shown above, then spread a small amount onto the sanded area on the hull.
TRANSDUCER INSTALLATION - 8° Transducer Only The 8° transducer is designed for transom mount only. It can be installed on any outboard or stern-drive powered boat. Do not use this transduc- ers on an inboard powered boat. Please read these instructions carefully before installing your trans- ducer.
RATCHET TRANSDUCER BRACKET - o + o ANGLE OF ATTACK 14 DEGREES This is the way the transducer should look when it's mounted on the transom. TRANSDUCER RATCHET See the chart at the top of the next page for example transducer angles for letter "A" at 12, 14, and 16 degree transom angles.
12 DEGREE TRANSOM ANGLE INDEX MARKS A-A A-B A-C A-D A-E ANGLE OF ATTACK PER RATCHET CLICK For example, with a 14 degree transom, placing the ratchet on the transducer bracket on "A" and the ratchet on the transducer on "C" will result in a +42.
2. Once you've determined the proper ratchet placement, assemble the transducer and bracket as shown above. Don't tighten the nut at this time. INSTALLATION - Location 1. The transducer must be placed in a location that has a smooth flow of water at all times.
3. Don’t mount the transducer directly behind strakes or ribs on the bottom of the hull. Typically, a good location on aluminum boats is between the ribs closest to the engine. 4. Once you determine the best location for the transducer, hold the bracket against the transom.
FLAT-BOTTOM HULL DEEP-"VEE" HULL 6. Route the transducer cable to the sonar unit. Keep the transducer cable away from other wiring on the boat, if possible. Electrical noise from engine wiring or bilge pumps can be picked up on the trans- ducer cable.
KEYBOARD The keyboard has keys arranged in two vertical columns beneath the arrow keys. The menu key near the bottom left corner of the keyboard activates the first menu page. The other keys are used to activate the alarm menu, make menu selections, and change modes.
MENUS The sonar unit uses menus extensively to guide you through the functions and features of the unit. To use the menus, simply press the MENU key. The options on the menus let you to customize the unit to your particular needs and water conditions.
However, you can adjust some fea- tures separately when you're using both 50 and 192 kHz. For example, the sensitivity menu shown at right lets you select either the 192 or 50 kHz chart by pressing the appropriate ar- row key. To adjust the 192 kHz sensi- tivity, press the left arrow key.
MODES This unit has five different modes: FASTRAK, digital/chart, split-chart, full chart, and win- dow groups. Each of these modes also has multiple options. To select a different mode, first press the MODE key. A screen similar to the one at right appears.
Split Chart The split chart normally shows the underwa- ter world from the surface to the bottom on the right side of the screen. The left side shows an enlarged version of the right side.
the left or right arrow keys to sequence through the available groups. When the desired group appears, press the EXIT key to erase the modes menu. Reprogram Windows Groups You can customize the window groups to meet your own fishing or boating situations.
AUTOMATIC When the sonar unit is first turned on, the Automatic feature is enabled. This is indicated by the word “AUTO” at the top of the screen. The Automatic fea- ture adjusts the sensitivity and range so the bottom signal is displayed in the lower half of the screen at all times.
SENSITIVITY The sensitivity controls the ability of the unit to pick up echoes. A low sensitivity level excludes much of the bottom information, fish signals, and other target information. High sensitivity levels enables you to see this detail, but it can also clutter the screen with many undesired signals.
RANGE - Automatic When turned on for the first time, the unit automatically places the bottom signal in the lower half of the screen. This is called Auto Ranging and is part of the automatic function. Typically, the range cannot be changed manu- ally while the unit is in automatic, as shown at right.
Now press the left arrow key to change the upper limit or the right arrow key to change the lower limit. After pressing the key, a screen similar to the one at the top of the next page appears. UPPER AND LOWER LIMITS You can enter any range when the unit is in the manual mode.
In this example, we're setting the upper limit. Use the up and down arrow keys to select the number, the right and left arrow keys to move to the next number. When the limit shows the desired depth, press the ENT key. The screen shown below appears.
ZOOM - MANUAL MODE The Z-IN (zoom-in) and Z-OUT (zoom-out) keys enlarge and reduce the size of the echoes on the screen when the unit is in the manual mode, the same as the automatic mode. However, you can manually adjust the zoom when the unit is in the manual mode.
down arrow keys until the GRAYLINE menu appears. A screen similar to the one at right appears. Press the left arrow key to decrease the gray level or the right arrow key to increase it. The percentage of GRAYLINE in use changes as the arrow keys are pressed.
FISH ID The Fish ID feature identifies targets that meet certain conditions as fish. The microcomputer analyses all echoes and eliminates surface clutter, thermoclines, and other signals that are undesirable. In most instances, remaining targets are fish.
When the unit is first turned on, FishTrack is off. To turn the FishTrack feature on, press the menu key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the FISH ID menu appears. Now press the right arrow key. Pressing it once switches the Fish ID feature on, but leaves FishTrack off.
To turn the chart cursor off, repeat the above steps. The unit returns to the sonar screen without the chart cursor. DISPLAY ZOOM BAR When the unit is in the split-screen zoom mode, the zoom bar doesn’t normally show on the screen. The zoom bar shows the section of water on the right side of the screen that is being enlarged on the left side.
The digital normally operates at 192 kHz, however, to penetrate deeper water, you can switch it to 50 kHz. The digital's frequency shows just to the right of the digital depth display.
setting. Both depth alarms work only off the digital bottom depth signals. No other targets will trip these alarms. If you turn the digital off, the depth alarms will be inoperative.
ZONE ALARM The zone alarm is triggered when any echo passes inside the zone alarm bar, shown on the right side of the screen. To turn the zone alarm on, highlight the "Zone Alarm" label on the alarms menu, then press the right ar- row key.
sensitivity of the receiver, decreasing it near the surface and gradually increasing it as the depth increases. The maximum depth that SCC will affect is 75% of the selected depth range. For example, on a 0-60 foot range with maximum SCC, surface clutter will be reduced down to 45 feet.
SYSTEM SETUP The following features are available through the "System Setup" menu. To access this menu, press the MENU key, then press the up or down arrow keys until the "System Setup" menu appears. Press the right arrow key. The screen shown at right appears.
Temperature Graph Some of the screens have a temperature graph, as shown at right. Normally, the temperature graph has a 2° range. On the screen shown at right, the temperature graph has a range from 71° to 73°. You can change this range to 4° or 10° using the "Temp Graph Scale" label on the Units of Measure menu.
Press the right arrow key, then the up or down arrow keys until 1.0 appears in the "Adj Keel" box, as shown at right, then press the ENT key. This immediately changes the digital depth display at the top of the screen by one foot. Press the EXIT key to erase this menu.

TROUBLESHOOTING If your unit is not working, or if you need technical help, please use the following troubleshooting section before contacting the factory customer service department. It may save you the trouble of returning your unit. Unit won’t turn on: 1.
3. The water may be deeper than the sonar’s ability to find the bottom. If the sonar can’t find the bottom signal while it’s in the automatic mode, the digital will flash continuously. It may change the range to limits far greater than the water you are in.
NOISE A major cause of sonar problems is electrical noise. This usually appears on the sonar’s display as random patterns of dots or lines. In severe cases, it can completely cover the screen with black dots, or cause the unit operate erratically, or not at all.
