The returned "echoes" are transmitted with wireless technology to the display unit and plotted on the LCD. New information appears on the right. As this

information moves to the left a very accurate picture of the underwater world is created, including the depth of underwater objects such as the bottom, fish,

and structures.

WARNING! The electronic parts in the Remote Sonar Sensor (RSS) are made to withstand use when casting into water. Because shock from abrupt contact with rocks can damage your

RSS, we recommend using your RSS in water deeper than 1 foot only.

Attaching the RSS

The line coming from your reel can be tied off to the front hole in the RSS. If you wish to also use the RSS as a conventional float, use the second hole to

attach your hook using a lighter weight line. A snag will break the lighter line if you have to break free. Slip line techniques are not recommended because

of the higher risk of losing the RSS. If you do use the slip line method, use a lighter weight line after the lower stop, enabling retrieval of the RSS if the

lower line with hook breaks away.

To scan an area, cast and then reel in at a steady

rate with your rod tip up. Jerks may break water

contact, causing gapped signal input. A low rod

tip or heavy line may cause signal loss if the

RSS submerges.

While in SmartCast™ mode, the Advanced RSS can be used in two distinct ways:

Upper Range

Sonar Graph: The RSS can be used to create a sonar graph of the bottom. Cast the RSS into the

water beyond an area of interest. Retrieving the RSS slowly and steadily will produce a screen

detailing structure, fish and bottom detail. Rhythmic wave action and rocking may cause the display

of a rippled bottom.
