Go onto the northern lakes forum and search helix ice set up. There’s a step by step on how tune your unit for ice fishing. The thread is a couple years old so change the filters to “any date”. I use this setup and my helix 5 works great on the ice.

I also did that before I posted I couldn't find anything...I put in all sorts of different wordings on it and Nothing. I Actually still can't, I put in what you just said comes up as nothing????

I went to BOQ the next day turned it on and it started working right away with a few adjustments...I think my "Sink" wasn't a good idea to set it up.

Also had a few fellow memebers help me out in a pm message .

Thanks for the info everyone

Thank you....I plan on using my Helix ten chirp for the first time....these menus will prolly be the same or at least close.....I have switched to a ice transducer so should be good to go.
