  If the Daiwa Fishing Equipment motor doesn't respond to the power lever, and the counter displays 0.0 m, press the RESET BUTTON to continue winding. This is a normal function to prevent over-winding. Also, ensure the lever is in the OFF position before moving it forward to start winding. Finally, try using a more stable power source, such as electric reel-specific batteries.

  If the auto stop function on your Daiwa Fishing Equipment isn't working, ensure you've pressed the RESET BUTTON at the surface to reset the depth to zero with the rig at the surface. Also, adjust the auto stop function settings to compensate for sinker weight or boat rocking. If the line is elongated, reset the depth counter at the surface.

  If the counter display on your Daiwa Fishing Equipment does not appear, first, recharge the battery, as a low battery charge could be the cause. If that doesn't work, check the cord for wear or corrosion and replace it if necessary. Finally, ensure the battery is connected correctly.

Why are there counter errors on my Daiwa LEOBRITZ 500MM?
- D
  Dr. Samuel FosterAug 25, 2025
  If you are experiencing counter errors with your Daiwa Fishing Equipment, it could be due to several reasons. The line length may have increased due to stretching, in which case you should reset the counter, revise the display, and re-enter the line data. If the line was accidentally wound when the power was off, or if the RESET BUTTON was accidentally held down while pulling out the line, you should make data entry again. If a large number was set when correcting, remove the revision.
