a couple trips back noticed the temperature readings were off...was picking up 50's when the water was high 70-80 degrees F...

Now, it's not reading.  Same issue...  HDS-7 is the unit...

Interested in the responses...

have you tried an "auto-configure"  - when I 1st got my HDS10 unit I was getting "---" for temp - I had to go in to the menus and select the right data source for temp - I can't remember the specifics now - I think it was looking at a temp source that was not there - I just changed the settings to use the xducer I had...

Not sure why it used to work and now does not - did it change along with a recent software update?    Good luck...

first things first, I'm going to run through all my connections and confirm them...take apart, clean, apply 'lithium grease'...

I do know I put the update in before I started working on all my connections initially...

my temp reading did work after the updates.  I have had no problems with the unit, out of the box,  until this issue.  Everything works fine except the " --- temp"  for temp.

hey samo, i have two new hds 7s. i was on the potomac river today and my temp quit working too. I went in to menu and  hit restore defaults and got the temp back . of course i had to reset everything else.

Thanks for the info.  I have tried "restore defaults" twice with no luck but may try it again,   Having tried it twice I am leaning towards a faulty transducer.  I do know anyone , who has a working hds where I could hook mine up to see what happens.

Thanks again

mwardncsu  gave the correct advice. Have you even tried 'auto configure"?

i lost the temp. myself i did the update lost it,did the default i have it back,its a newer hds 7 i bought in feb.i have 1 on the mount,its not the transducer.I disconnected from the console.Not sure if that newer update is knocking out the temp???
 

What upgrade are you guys talking of?  Upgrade to what version# ?

I am up-to-date on my software on my HDS-10 and have no issues.

This weekend I had my temp showing up as "---", I had hooked up my bow mounted HDS-5X for the 1st time in a while (well, at least since doing the latest software upgrade) - I did not do the auto-configure,  but when into one of the system menus to get a list of devices and when I selected the temperature device a "invalid" device was listed and I had to change it back to the local xducer.....  hopefully it won't keep changing on me as I don't often put the bow HDS on unless I'm casting or occassionaly when getting bait.....  Sorry I can't remember the exact menu sequence, but its there - poke around and it has to do with device configuration.

Now, if you're getting just an invalid temp that is way off from what it should be, then I would suspect another issue...

I called Lowrance and they were more that helpful.  They spent a lot of time with me trying to get my HDS-5 Temp  (---Temp)  working.  They thought it might  be the transducer and Lowrance is sending me a new one.  Hope to get it in a few days and try again.

Thanks to all for the help.  Thought I would add this to keep everyone who helped posted.

Again Thanks for the help
