FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS
A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE AND KNOWLEDGE TO SHARE WITH
FRIENDS AND FAMILY!
For over a half a century, anglers have started many great shing adventures by turning on a Vexilar. Now with over a half million Vexilar units in
use today, it’s no wonder serious anglers proudly state:
“They will never go shing without their Vexilar!”
This Owner’s Manual is to serve as a foundation of knowledge to get you started using your Vexilar. Reading the sections of this manual that
applies to your system will avoid confusion and actually go a long way in helping you extend the life of your Vexilar product as well.
They often say: “Knowledge is power” and with the knowledge from this manual we hope you will share with other Vexilar owners who were not
as pro-active enough to read about how to get the most out of their Vexilar. From the tricks on how to adjust your gain level to how to properly
use the Interference Rejection system all to make for a more enjoyable day on the water.
It might seem simple, but it is the little things that many anglers overlook when they are in a rush to get out on the water. We thank you for taking
the time to study and learn about your Vexilar system, and we hope you can also share your new-found knowledge with your friends.
