FAQ (cont.)
Water in transmitter:
1. Water should not be in the transmitter. The O-ring seal design has been tested well
beyond the limits of practical fi shing. If you fi nd water in the probe follow these steps
or you risk permanent damage to the probe.
1. Remove the batteries from the probe and discard them in the appropriate manner.
If the probe leaked due to high pressure water may have penetrated the batteries
and will cause them to leak acid in a short amount of time.
2. If battery acid has leaked it must be cleaned out of the probe immediately. It is
best to us isopropyl alcohol, if none is available fl ush with clean fresh water until
you have the opportunity to clean the acid properly.
3. Verify that the plastic battery pack holder has been cleaned as well.
4. Verify that both O-Rings are installed and are not damaged.
5. Apply petroleum grease or lubricant to the O-rings and battery compartment
threads.
6. Install fresh batteries and tighten the battery cap until it meets the body of the
probe at the fi n.
No speeds 0 – 2 mph:
1. At very slow speed the probe will not properly display speed. The fl ow of water over
the speed wheel is not enough to over come the friction of the magnetic wheel.
Display power on – updates are intermittent:
1. Verify boat ground. The system will work the best if the ground (battery–) connected
to the monitor display is also in contact with the water. If this ground connection is not
in place you may not see data or the data may be inconsistent.
No data below 100 feet:
1. Verify boat ground. The system will work best if the ground (battery–) connected to the
monitor display is also in contact with the water. If this ground connection is not in
place you may not see data or the data may be inconsistent.
Depth of probe does not match reel counter on the down rigger:
1. Downrigger manufactures set the gear ratio of the counters to match uncoated cable.
Coated cable has a slightly larger diameter and will alter the results of the counter.
2. The probe will also transmit actual depth not line out. If you are trolling you need to
consider blow back and how this affects the depth of the cannon ball.
