it's not hard to use. just record or print this topic and save it as a web page so you have reference. you can copy and paste into a new text and save that and print from that so only the set up info is all you have too. the more options it has, the more tuneable it is, is all your seeing here. that's a very good thing and you can upgrade it to the lx9 later when your ready for eyes in the water too.you got a great deal on it from jet!i wish sponsors would do that for us. jet still made money off that deal.here is the manual you wanted. the lx7http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aagv_prd/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-rapala-Library/default/v1448364706251/downloads/marcum/2015_MarCum_LX-6s_LX-7.pdf?id=10if you want to see the differences from the 7 to the 9https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/248/1/1/demandware.edgesuite.net/aagv_prd/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-rapala-Library/default/v1448364706251/downloads/marcum/2015_MarCum_LX-9_users_guide.pdf?id=10heres some thing i didn't knowREADING THROUGH ICE The Marcum LX-9 will provide accurate information reading through ice providing the ice is reasonably clear. Wet the ice with at least a cup of water to improve the coupling of the transducerto the ice. Place the face of the transducer firmly on the wetted ice, and you will now be able to see the depth displayed digitally, and a signal showing the bottom (and fish) on whichever sonar windows you have open. Drilling into the ice 1-2” before taking a reading may be necessary if the surface of the ice is very rough, or if the ice is filled with air bubbles.
also it says only have 2 inches in the water unless your in deep ice and go a little deeper, but then never have it under the ice plate.marcum pointed this out to me when i called in about having to turn it higher than normal and i found a cut in the casing of the transducer.he said only use an inch in the water. being we know it can read with out even being in the water, it's no surprise it need very little water. the reason you might need it a little deeper in the ice hole for deep is is the sides of the hole might block it some. it would depend on hole size and if it's centered or not.the good thing about this being your new sonar, it will be hard to out grow and if they make new features for it it will be free for you to have them on yours via software/firmware.That and the fact that I can upgrade to the lx9 is the reason I bought it. Wish I had the funds for the 9. Oh well!
