1) The handheld host use 4*AAA alkaline batteries (not include). 2) There is one charging cord for the sonar sensor in the package. When the sensor is charging, the indicator light is red. The light will turn off if the sensor is fully charged.

3) When the sensor is out of water, it is off and will not connect with the host, and the sensor's Battery Indicator on the screen is incorrect. If you would like to check the sensor's battery status from the screen, you need to put the sensor in water and install the antenna of the handheld host first.
How to Use the Sonar Sensor 1. How the sonar fish finder works 1) The system uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour, and depth directly below the sensor. It transmits sound pulse from sensor, then measures the time it takes for the echoes to return to the sensor.

only when you toss it in water. Once these 2 pins touch water, the sonar sensor will automatically turn on, connect with the host (please install the antenna of the host in advance), and start working. Note: Please dry water on the sensor after it is out of water.
3. Application methods 1) Toss the sensor into water, drag it at a very slowly and stable speed. It will display information of water under the sensor, including water depth, bottom contour, and fish location. 2) Toss the sensor into water, guide it to a desirable position and let it undisturbed.

1) Sensitivity There are 20 levels of sensitivity setting for user to choose from. It greatly depends on the clarity and depth of the water. Very clear water allows for a moderate sensitivity setting. Conversely, dirty water requires a higher sensitivity setting to target detail but will increase the irritating false readings.

The alarm feature can be turn off if you prefer quiet fishing. 3) Depth Alarm The depth alarm can be turned off or range from 2M/7Ft to 50M/164Ft.

5) Chart Speed The fish finder has ten levels (10-100%) of chart speed for the user to choose from. 10% chart speed is the slowest while the 100% is the fastest. Generally it is suggested to set the chart speed highest, so that you can get update of underwater information in time.
Simulator mode helps beginner to learn readings on the display quickly. 9) Noise Filter Noise Filter Setting is used for filtering sonar noise. The fish finder has 4 Noise Filtering levels (off, low, medium, high) for user to choose from. Choose different value according to the actual situation.

2. Depth reading is “---” or incorrect 1) Other high power sonar fish finder close to the fish finder will interfere with the fish finder’s sonar and cause incorrect reading. 2) Please make sure the sonar is not out of power and it is floats on water in peace.

9) When fishing on ice or “shooting-through” the hull of a boat, depth reading might be unstable or displays as “---” if there is bubble under the sonar. Sonar will not travel through air. So the smallest air bubble between the sensor and the water will cause the unit to operate incorrectly.

6. There are fish in water, but the fish finder shows nothing. The fish finder can only detect fish in detectable area (105 degrees beam angle under the sensor). And the fish finder will not detect any objects that are closer than 2 feet from the sensor.
