I connected the yellow wire..  I connected all rights.. All is working with software 3.5 or 4.0, but with GeoFencing.
When I have use 2.5 software (exactly 2.5.31.56), it is working fine, no GeoFence.. but I have lost the part of menu for StructureScan imaging transducer, and I can use only classic 83/200 transducer.
If I update 3.5 or 4.0 software, all is again working perfect..  until I will got GPS position and GeoFencing.
Have you LSS-1 StuctureScan transducer? Is it working with software 2.5?

in terms of absurdity by Lowrance Navico is the latest written by Italy as a response to the complaints of many customers, on a forum (gomSpero di non spegnere gli entusiasmi, ma lo sblocco software di un hds comperato negli Usa dopo un eventuale aggiornamento alla versione 3.5 ed alla 4.0 appena uscita è il seguente:

HDS-10 euro 750,00 + iva
HDS-8 euro 650,00 + iva
HDS-7 euro 550,00 + iva
HDS-5 euro 250,00 + iva

solo per vostra informazione leggete qui: http://www.navico-liguria.com/contents/it/p773.html

ciao

I'm sorry, I could not even tell you why I did not structur scan, the menus and functions change in the update update, changed the menu with some features not working at all or structur?

Hello,
I am from Czech Republic so please excuse my English.

I have exactly the same problem as you. After purchasing HDS7 the U.S., I dropped itand just found the GPS signal and the message appears "not valid for area.

After reading this thread I have uploaded the software HDS_253156b and echo sounder began to work but I still have an on-screen menu that is about to file HDS8higher order, 10 of which still have under display pushbuttons.

You somehow managed to further resolve this problem and run the echo sounder withthe newer software 3.5 or 4.0, so that did not appear the message "not valid for area"??

Thanks a lot in advance for any advice that might help.

Sincerely H.Šmehlík

Contact Lowrance, apparently you can pay US$300 and fix your unit.

Alternatively - If you bought from Ebay return it for a refund and source an international version from UK, China or Singapore
