I have a fortrex that interferes with my graph when I step on the pedal. I think the model on # on the hummingbird is 787 but I am not sure. How do I fix this? It seems to work ok if I am in 5 feet or deeper but have problems in 5 feet or less.

You might want to contact HB. They have an interference kit that they provide to users that ask for it. May help with your problem.

If you have the room, simply put it on its own battery.
