Humminbird Helix Power/Light Key (Key/Button Functions Series Finale)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Humminbird Helix units are very popular in today’s world of fishing electronics. When I started my UA-cam channel, Steve Chiasson Fishing, 3 years ago, I wanted to teach anglers the functions of each key/button available to Helix owners. My second video was about using the power key primarily to use the standby feature. The original power button video was not up to the standards of some of my later videos so I wanted to redo it at some point. Well, that time is now and this video is the series finale for Helix key functions videos. The Humminbird Helix Operations Manual actually refers to the key featured in today’s video as the power/light key. The power/light key is not simply used to turn the unit on and off. Learn how this power key can help you conserve battery power, improve lighting for night use, protect your transducer, eliminate unnecessary pinging, and give you access to Minn Kota trolling motor controls for connected IPilot Link trolling motors. Please enjoy the video and I encourage you to check out my other Helix key functions videos which have surpassed 80 000 views. Knowing how to operate your Humminbird Helix will help you maximize performance of your Helix units.
As always, well done.
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated 😊.
Hey Steve another great video.
Thanks for the kind words Mike. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and add a comment.
You have tought me so much about my helix. You are Better than the owners manual.
Thanks Eric, your kind comments are much appreciated. It’s always clearer when you can see it versus reading it in a manual.
This is great information. I’m just starting to learn my Helix unit and when fishing at night my screen was way too bright. Now I know so thanks for sharing.
My pleasure, glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the kind words.
I have a problem with my helix, "sometimes" when i press the power button the screen will go totally dark, without choosing standby, then i can't see anything. The screen will not come back until i restart the unit. Tech support said if they couldn't replicate the issue wheni send it in for repair, the cost would be $300. Problem is that it happens random. Thoughts?
Random issues are tough ones as we well know with vehicle mechanical problems. I would check your wiring connections and possible corrosion to eliminate that possibility. If all is good, possibly take a video of it and send it in to tech support and see if that helps.
A new update came out today. Maybe that will fix it. Looks like the helix and mega live has a bunch of improvements.
How do you light up the menu buttons for nite fishing
Hit the power button and you will see it.
Light up when you touch them.
They do not light up when I press power or other buttons, any ideas other than repair needed
Did you put it on night mode when you hit power button?
Yes, I tried with night on and off
How do you get the info baron the left of the chart like shown in vid.?
Hit menu button twice, go to set up tab, scroll down to digital readouts, scroll to boxes and that will give you the info baron. You can scroll down to edit data boxes to customize.
Thx Steve worked like a charm...I have learned so much by watching your vids ,
That’s great Danny, I am glad it all worked out for you and thanks for watching my videos.
Hi Steve, I just installed a Mega Live on my Helix 10...now the temperature is no longer displayed on the Helix 10 screens, other than the Mega Live screen... and in the menu , where you see what transducers are being used...Temp 1 only has the Mega Live as an option. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Curt
I am assuming you have changed the active screen from MegaLive to what you are trying to use?
