Submitted by LandyAndy on Mon, 2013-09-16 17:37
Hi People.
Will I do any harm firing up my new HDS9 touch using a 12V source in the house without transducers connected???
Wanting to learn how to use it in the comfort of the house.I have a GOOD CTek battery charger that has a 12V supply mode.

You can always put it in a bucket of water to keep it cool while your playing with it, but switch to demo mode and you can play for as long as you like.
