Handling Precautions

Power Supply
This reel can use 12~24V DC power supply with a nominal voltage of 12~24V
(lithium-ion batteries, etc.). Do NOT use the reel with any kind of unspecified
power supply (e.g. a vessel's on-board power supply or a AC100 household
power supply). NEVER use a battery charger.
• When using a vessel's on-board power supply, always check that the voltage
is DC12V~24V. If the battery terminals are corroded, the voltage may not be
stable, which can cause the reel to malfunction.
• Only use a fully charged battery.
• If a battery is used for a long period of time it loses charging capacity. If that
occurs get a new battery.
• NEVER use an AC power supply as it will destroy the reel's electronics.
• It may not be possible to properly attach the alligator clips to the terminals of
other batteries from other manufacturers and in some cases using batteries
from other manufacturers may cause damage to such batteries.
• If you use a vessel's on-board power supply there is the possibility that other
powered reels may stop working.
• The recommended battery is an automobile battery with a capacity of 10Ah.
Power Cord
Always use a genuine Shimano power cord to connect your reel to the power supply.
The power cord is a consumable. Depending on frequency of use, it may need to be changed every 2~3 years.
Caution
Using a power cord other than a genuine Shimano item may cause the reel to malfunction. Please do
not treat the power cord in a rough manner, stand on it or fold or bend it as this can cause it to break.
This is an extremely high-powered reel.
Although power cords for powered reels from other manufacturers can be connected, please ensure that
you use only a genuine Shimano power cord as electrical resistance inside the cable is especially low.

Line up the connections and insert
the power cord into the socket in the
bottom of the reel, pushing it firmly in
AC100V
