This amazing product is especially designed for amateur and professional fishermen alike, to find out the location of fish and depth of water. The unit can be used in ocean, river or lake and is fantastic for detecting schools of fish in any particular area.
Using amazing and innovative technology, this portable fishfinder the ideal tool to bring the fish to you!
Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The system uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and composition, as well depth directly below the transducer. The transducer sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off an object; it then uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size, and composition of an object.
Slide and remove the Battery Door, Install 4 AAA batteries. Be certain to align the batteries as per the diagram within the battery compartment. Close the battery door completely.
Press the POWER key to turn the power On, the unit enter normal mode after display full show 1 second.
Press the POWER key to turn the power On, the unit enter normal mode after display full show 1 second. Press and Hold the POWER key for 3 seconds to turn the Power Off. To enter the simulation mode: press and hold the POWER key for 5 seconds and release while the power is off.
NOTE: The unit must be turned off to enter normal operation from simulation mode.
Automatic power off feature: The display will shut off automatically when the depth display reads "---" continuously for 5 minutes.
Press and Hold the SETUP key for 3 seconds, Water depth unit { FT} will blink; then pressing the SETUP key again and again, the indicator will blink from the current feature to be set.

Press Mode menu to select mode among General mode, Shallow mode, Slope mode, Raft mode, and Ice-fishing mode.
NOTE: The screen can be refreshed by pressing the POWER key during normal operation.
The depth readout on the top right, will appear after the power is turned ON and the sonar sensor is placed in water. The depth meter will indicate"---" if the depth exceeds these parameters. (0.7 to 100 meters)
NOTE: This reading may also occur in water is extremely dirty, or where there are heavy silt or mud bottoms. Sonar is a sound signal that travels through water. Sonar will not travel through air. Keep this in mind when using the fish finder, as the smallest bubble between the sonar sensor and the water, will cause the unit not to operate correctly.
If the finder determines that sonar has detected a fish, the display will show a fish shaped icon. It can detect large fish and small fish. The first column of fish indicators on the right of the display shows the most current information. This column is then moved to the left as a new reading is displayed Fish icon moved in every 5 seconds.
NOTE: The fish indicators move away from the right to the left at a constant speed. This motion in no way reflects actual movement of the fish.
Use the fish Depth Indicator to measure the fish's depth from the sonar sensor. This can be done by dividing the depth reading by 10. This number represents the value of each box.
(Example, the depth is 20 m, the fish symbol appears in the 5th box from the top. This means the fish is 10 m from the surface)
The display indicates the presence of short weeds by turning on the smallest Weed indicator (a)
Moderately tall weeds are depicted by turning on the second Weed indicators(b)
Tall weeds are depicted by turning on the third Weed indicator(c)
One Rock Indicator identifies limited structure(d) You would most likely find a small rock, a small pile of rocks, or uneven bottom contour. This is not a bad place for hiding fish, but due to the limited amount of strucrure, there may not be a lot.
Two Rock Indicators identifies a considerable amount of bottom structure, but scattered(e)
A considerable amount of time needs to be spent fishing this area as each piece of structure could be hiding a prize catch.
Three Rock Indicators indicates a large amount of bottom structure in a confined area. This bottom may consist of a large rock(s), stump(s), tree(s), or a ledge(s)(f)
NOTE:
*Incorrect to use: Do not allow the cable to sink to the bottom as it may become entangled in debris.
* The float can be removed as follows, If you do not need it, cutting off the rubber stopper from the cable and sliding the safety strap and the float towards the plug and gently take it out from the plug.
NOTE: If depth readings appear as "---" while using one of these methods, place the sonar sensor directly in the water to verity that the fish finder is operating properly. If it operates properly while directly in the water, reposition the sensor in a new location in the hull, and repeat the methods in above
To achieve the best performance for ice fishing, it is highly recommended that you cut a hole through the ice and place the sonar sensor directly in the water.lf you would like to check the area for depth or fish before cutting the hole. Clear away snow to expose the ice surface, making sure the surface is smooth. Place a small amount of liquid water on the ice and set the sonar sensor on the water, allowing the unit to freeze to the ice (fig. 22 ).
If there are any air pockets between the sonar senor and ice, or air on the water below the ice, the unit will not work properly and will require you to try another spot, or cut a hole in the ice to use.
NOTE:
* To remove the sonar sensor from the frozen gently tap sonar sensor at the base with your hand. If it will not come loose, spray a small amount of water on the ice surface around the base and repeat above step until the sonar sensor is easily removed. Never use a blunt to strike the sonar sensor as this may cause damage to the sensitive internal electronics.
* Cold weather is extremely hard on the electrical components within the display housing. It is suggested that you keep the unit in temperatures above -17 degrees Celsius during operation.
*Remove the batteries from the fish finder to prevent battery leakage and corrosion. CIean the sonar sensor and cable with fresh water and dry-off before storing. DO not submerge and/or spray the fish finder screen/housing with water or use chemicals to clean.
