I am seeing interference on the screen of my ICE X Series, XPLORE, or HELIX. What can I do to resolve this?
Occasionally, while ice fishing, you may notice disruptions in the sonar returns displayed on your Fish Finder's screen. This interference is often caused by nearby fish finders operating on similar sonar frequencies, which can distort or block your unit’s signal.
ICE X Series and XPLORE
From the Flasher or 2D sonar view, press IR in the top center of the screen.

Turn on Interference Rejection and try numbers 1-6, seeing which setting minimizes the interference.

Quick Fix: Use CHIRP Interference Rejection
The simplest way to resolve this issue is by adjusting the CHIRP Interference Rejection (IR) settings on your ICE HELIX:
- Press the Checkmark Key on the front of your unit to cycle through the six (6) CHIRP IR settings.
- Continue cycling until the interference is reduced or eliminated.
Alternative Method: Adjust from the Sonar Screen
You can also access this feature directly from any sonar or flasher screen:
- Press the Menu button once.
- Scroll to find the “CHIRP IR” option.
- Use the directional pad to toggle through the six available settings.
- Select the one that provides the clearest sonar image.
- Press Exit to return to your sonar view and resume fishing.
