Check under your setup tab for a setting called "Temperature graph" and make sure it set to "on"....
Also.. you might check your readouts menu under the setup tab....
Restoring defaults may have changed the readouts....
He's right it defaults to off. :D Same thing happen to me.Quote:

Then, if there is a question about a device not working, determine whether the device is present -- as known by the Humminbird "head". This can be found on the "Accessory Test" screen (you turn this screen on (normally off) by going to "Views", then scroll down to "Accessory Test" >>> select "Visible"). Close you Menu screens and roll up/down to Accessory Test screen and look. Basically, what is displayed on any Humminbird unit is determined by what devices "it" believes is present, the transducer type it was told was present, and??? This is where you find cable or device problems.
As to the Temp question, I believe your referring to the 2D screen that you can add "Selected Readouts" to. To modify that screen first go to it, then hit “Menu” twice, then slide over to "Setup" column, then slide down to "Select Readouts", then open, then open the Readout Boxes (1-5) and make your selection (Temp can be placed anywhere on that screen only). Again, if the "head" does not detect the device present (for whatever reason) >>> it cannot be selected.
I believe this info will help resolve your Temp question.
Take Care,

Yeah when I go to select readouts there is no temps selection in any of the boxes. It is like it has been erased or something. It worked before the update I installed.
I just brought my unit inside and used my wall plug to try out the suggestions. When plugged in to the wall it runs on Demo mode. The temp was there and everything looked normal, I took it back outside and plugged it in and it still does not show temp or list it as an option. Also I can turn off box 6 in my "select readout's" and it will not go away, it stay's on heading. I wonder if I should reload the latest upgrade again and see what happens?
If you do, be sure to restore you settings to factory before and after you do the update.
Hi,
Did you turn on the System Status "Accessory Test" screen w/ the unit mounted on the boat? There you will see all the devices supported by the unit’s level of software, physically connected to the head, and their status. There you will see Temperature (and Aux. Temperature - if you have a paddle wheel (W/ Temp)) status. If the status is "UNCONNECTED", the unit "believes" the device is not present - and therefore cannot be selected (or displayed) as an option. The reason's for "UNCONNECTED" could be bad sensor, bad cabling, or??? If you see that Temperature is not an "Accessory Test" option --- call Humminbird.
See my earlier post for how to get the "Accessory Status" screen.
Take care,
Roger
Try testing your unit on another Humminbird transducer that has the built-in temperature sensor to see if you get the option than. This does not have to be another 797 unit and could be the transducer that you are using with your 787 unit.
Does your 787 show a temperature readout when used on the 797’s transducer?
my 787 did that once and the transducer was bad
Yep, that is what I am thinking now after doing what HBGreg suggested. It works fine on my 787 mount and my 787 acts up when I plug it into my 797 base. AMAZING, a transducer goes bad just out of the blue. I am growing So tiredof the trouble. Upgrade to fix an Upgrade. I just want my stuff to work!!!!! By the way Greg I spent almost 30 min. on the phone with your customer service yesterday trying to trouble shoot my problem before I was asked my phone number and email address so that the problem could be researched further. I was promised a response yesterday. Guess what? STILL WAITING!! I am not trying to take out anything on you personally, but other than the slow GPS response my 797 worked great up until the UPGRADE. It's just very frustrating. Thanks for your help, I really do thank you.
