Mounting Considerations

The TZtouch2 15" MFD is designed for flush mounting. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and strong enough to support the unit's weight (approximately 3 pounds). Allow sufficient space behind the unit for cable connections and ventilation.

Dimensions: Approximately 18 x 10 x 6 inches (LxWxH).
Cutout Size: Refer to the installation template provided with the product for precise cutout dimensions.

Power Connection

The unit operates on DC power. Connect the power cable to a stable 12V or 24V DC power source, ensuring proper polarity. An inline fuse is recommended for circuit protection.

Transducer and Network Connections

Connect the appropriate fishfinder transducer to the unit. For network capabilities (e.g., radar, external GPS, other MFDs), connect via Ethernet or NMEA 2000 as per your system configuration. Ensure all connections are secure and waterproof.

Fishfinder Operation

The built-in fishfinder utilizes RezBoost technology for improved clarity. Adjust gain, range, and frequency settings from the fishfinder display's menu. The unit supports Bottom Discrimination and AccuFish™ modes for advanced fish and bottom identification.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Display: Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with fresh water to clean the screen. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Connector Inspection: Periodically check all cable connections for corrosion or damage. Ensure waterproof caps are securely fastened on unused ports.
Software Updates: Check the Furuno website periodically for software updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
