The device described in the manual is the RIPPTON BITEKEEPER® SMART BITE ALARM SET, which includes a Bitekeeper Alarm (transmitter) and a Bitekeeper Alarm Receiver. This system is designed to notify anglers of fish bites through visual and auditory signals, with advanced features for customization and connectivity.

Function Description

The Bitekeeper Alarm is a smart bite alarm designed to be attached directly to a fishing rod. It detects fish bites and provides alerts through a multicolor run LED and audible beeps. It features a "drop-back function" where a twinkling LED and continuous low sound indicate a drop-back bite, with the LED remaining white for about ten seconds after the sound stops. The alarm automatically enters a low-power consumption standby mode after 10 seconds of inactivity and reactivates upon a bite. All settings are automatically saved and applied for subsequent uses due to its "memory function."

The Bitekeeper Alarm Receiver is a companion device that receives signals from up to four paired Bitekeeper Alarms. It provides alerts through run LEDs, audible beeps, and vibration, depending on the chosen alarm mode. The receiver also features a torch light.
