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.
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 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.
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.
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.

I am assuming you have changed the active screen from MegaLive to what you are trying to use?
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

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 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.
