Useage Hints:

 If a Rod Alarm false‐triggers (for example, a gust of wind causes the Rod Alarm alarm to go off, but you can

see that the tip‐up didn't trip) – you don't have to leave the warmth of your hut. Just press the button on

the receiver, this will stop it beeping for that Rod Alarm. If, after 30 seconds, the Rod Alarm detects more

movement, then the beeper will go off again. So you still won't miss a bite!

 If a Rod Alarm keeps false‐triggering, try to identify why. If shore fishing, try re‐positioning the Rod Alarm

towards the rod handle to minimize extra movement. On a tip‐up, sometimes the flags blow in the wind

even when they are folded down causing false triggers, so you can mound some snow around the flag or

even put a bit of snow on the flag itself to stop it blowing around without stopping the tip‐up from

working).

Page 2 Attaching the Rod Alarm Attach using a single or double band to a tip‐up flag. Most already have at least one hole in the flag. If you fish in windy situations the size of the flag may be cut down to reduce movement from the wind. Fishing rods used for ice‐fishing can use a single band for attachment since you are not casting. When mounting on a rod that is used for casting, two bands should be used. The straight‐attachment works well and is easier to put on and off, but the cross‐over method is more secure. Single band – OK for ice‐fishing Double‐band – more secure Double‐cross‐over provides the best hold and friction, but is hard to get on‐and‐off For summer fishing, crossing over For extra security, or for a more permanent though an eyelet ensures the mount, a nylon tie can be put around the BiteMinder doesn’t become whole assembly. This should be done near tangled in the line and keep it in an eyelet to ensure the BiteMinder doesn’t position on the rod no matter slip down the rod. what… A complete manual can be found at www.biteminder.com including more tips and tricks for mounting your Rod Alarm and extending your operating range. ...
