GettingStarted

Beforeanyuseofthedevice,ensureyouhavereadallthesafetyinformationprovidedinthe

separateleaflet.Thissectionprovidesyouwithquickstepbystepinstructionsfromthe

momentyouunpackyourDeepertoyourfirstfishfinding.Followthediagramsalongwiththe

commentstostartusingthegadget.

FridayLab,UABiscontinuouslydevelopingthisproduct,thereforeillustrationsin

thismanualmaynotlookthesameasyourproductbutyourunitwillfunctioninthe

sameway.Pleaserefertotheelectronicmanualprovidedwitheachmobile

applicationupdate.

OpeningandCharging

1. EnsureyourDeepergadgetisdrybeforeopeningit.

2. Openthegadgetbyturningitstophalfcounterclockwise.

3. Connectthechargertothegadgetwithaprovidedcable.

4. Plugthechargertothemainsoryourcar’spoweroutlet.

5. Blinkingfrequencyoftheorangeindicatorrepresentsthechargingstate.Higher

numberofblinksreferstohigherchargelevel.Chargingiscompletewheneverthe

2014-9-24 Deeper User Guide

indicatorgoesgreen.

Iftheindicatorglowsred,yourDeeperneedsservicing.PleaseReferto’Guarantee’for

furtherdetails.

Thelithiumionbatterycannotbechargedatatemperaturebelow3°C(37.4°F).Ifthe

indicatorglowsblue,itistoocoldtochargetheDeeper.

Deeperissuppliedwithunchargedbattery.Toensurefullcapacityofthebattery,

completelychargethebatterybeforeusingDeeperforthefirsttime.Expected

chargingtimeis2hours.Thelithiumionbatterycanbechargedatanytimewithout

reducingitsservicelife.Interruptingthechargingproceduresdoesnotdamagethe

battery.Thevoltageofthebatterychargermustcorrespondwiththedatagivenon

thenameplateofDeeper.Disconnectthebatterychargerfromthemainssupply

whennotusingitforlongerperiods.

WhenDeeperisfullycharged,theexpectedoperationaltimeisupto4hourswhen

workingwiththe290kHz(Referto§3.5)setting.

InordertoincreasethebatterylifeofyourDeeper,donotleaveitunchargedfor

longperiodsoftime.EvenifyoudonotuseyourDeeper,rechargeitevery2months.

LithiumIonbatteriesliketheoneusedintheDeepercanbedangerousifhandled

inappropriately.Makesureyoufollowthechargingandbatterysafetyrules

providedintheseparateleaflet.

DonotchargeDeeperwhileinthewater.Protectthebatterycharger,dualUSBcar

charger,themicroUSBcableandthechargingmicroUSBportagainstmoisture.

1. ScanaQRcode,locatedon

theretailpackageorgoto

theGooglePlayortheApp

Storeonlineshopandsearch

fortheDeeperapplication.

2. Installtheapplicationjust

likeanyotherbyfollowing

onscreeninstructions.

Ifyouarenotatthefishingspotyetbutyoucan’twaittotryoutthefeaturesofyour

Deeperapplication,justlaunchit,gotosettingsandchoose“Try”.Thiswillallow

youtoaccessmostofthefeaturesoftheapplication,alsoprovidingademonstration

ofhowtheapplicationdisplayssonarinformationwhenyourDeeperisbeingreeled

PairingandConnecting

BeforeusingDeeperforthefirsttime,itmustbepairedwithyourmobiledeviceoratablet

asfollows:

1. EnsureyourDeeperiseitherchargingorisimmersedinwaterandsois

automaticallypoweredon.

2. GototheBluetoothsettingsofyourmobiledeviceandenableBluetooth.

3. Choose‘Deeper’inyourBluetoothsettingstopairandconnectittoyourdevice.Make

sure,thedistancetothegadgetdoesnotexceed10meters/~36feet,duringpairing.

4. Aftertheconnectionhasbeenestablishedsuccessfully,returntotheapplication.

YouonlyneedtopairyourDeeperonce.However,insomedevicesyoumayneedtomake

theconnectionseparatelyafterpairing.

YoucanpairmultipleDeepergadgetstoyourmobiledeviceandaccessanyofthem

byselectingwhichgadgettheapplicationconnectstointheapplicationSettings

(Referto§4.10).Onlyoneconnectioncanbeestablishedatatime.Settings).

Ifyouarealreadyatyourfishingspot,attachyourgadgettoafishinglinebefore

immersingitintowaterasinstructedinthefollowingsection(§2.4).Fishfinding.

Fishfinding

1. Ensureyourgadgetistightlyclosedandtheattachmentpointsare

alignedasdepictedinthediagram.

2. Insertanattachmentbolt

intoasuitableattachment

pointonyourDeepergadget,

aschosenaccordingtoyour

plannedanglingconditions,

fasteningtheboltwith1.5

Nmtorque.

3. Securelyattachthefishing

linetotheinserted

attachmentbolt.

4. Castconnectedgadgettothe

desiredspot.

5. Launchtheapplicationandstartfishfinding.

6. Eitherreelinyourgadgetforanovervieworkeepitstationaryforfishmonitoring

Onlyattachyourgadgettoasufficientlystrongfishinglineanduseasuitable,

properlytightenedknot.Alsoensurethatyourfishingpolewithstandtheweightof

theDeeper.Otherwiseyouareatriskoflosingthedevice,damagingtheequipment

orsomeone’sproperty,orevencausinganinjury.

Whenreelingthedevice,ensureitglidessmoothlyontopofthewaterwithitsheavy

sidefacingtowardsthebottomasthiswillresultinthemostaccuratesonarview.

Sonaroperationalprinciples

1. Deepercanbeoperatedat

twodifferentfrequencies

(DualBeam).Precisenarrow

beam(15°@290kHz)isused

forhighaccuracyreturnsof

fish,structure,detailand

bottomprofile.Widebeam

(55°@90kHz)providesample

searchareaforfish,baitfish

andbottomstructure.

Itisbesttousethelowfrequency(90kHz)settingtofigureout,wherethefishare

andswitchtothehighfrequency(290kHz)settingtogetmoreaccurateinformation

aboutfishpositionorbottomstructure.

Bydefault,Deeperissettohighfrequency(290kHz)setting,whichisdesignedfor

bestperformanceandlongestbatterylife.

SmartImaging:Detailedmode

1. TheDeeperSmartFishfindercanhelpyoutodetermineifthebottomishardorsoft.

Whenthesonarsoundwavesarereflectedbackbythebottom,ahardbottomreturns

astrongersignalthanasoftbottom.Onyoursmartphoneortabletscreensonar

returnsaredisplayedasorange(strongest).brown(medium)andblack(weakest).

Thebottomofthewaterisalwaysgoingtobethestrongestsignal,andthereforethe

mostintensivecolor.Thebottomisthecontinuous,intenselycoloredlinerunning

acrossthebottomofthescreen.

2. Highsonarsensitivitywithoursoftwarealgorithmsallowsustodetermineweed

beds,vegetation.etc…Thesereturnswillbeshowningreencolor.

3. Alongthetopofthescreen,youwillseeabluecolorwatersurfacelinewitha

groupingofintensecolors.Thisareaissurfaceclutter,whichcanbecausedbywaves

oranyothersonarinterferenceatthesurfaceofthewater.

4. DeeperSmartFishfinderincludesthelatesttechnologyininterpretingbottom

signals.Itcanseethroughfish,structuresandthermoclines.Largeschooloffishor

densestructuresclosetothebottomcanaffectwaterdepthreturnreadings.

5. TheFishiconoptionallowsyoutofindfishbyviewingtheactualsonardataora

combinationofafishsymbolandactualsonardata.Simulatedfishiconsare

displayedinthreedifferentsizesbasedonthesizeofthereturn.

Actualfishreturnsmaynotappearasperfectarches,duetospeed,fishorientation,

and/orotherconditions.

6. TheunitwillclearlyshowschoolsofBaitFishascloudsofdifferentshapesandsizes,

dependingonthenumberoffishandboatspeed.

7. Whenthesonarsoundwavesarereflectedbackbythebottom,ahardbottomreturns

astrongersignalthanasoftbottom.Youmayalsoseeasecondsonarreturnswhen

thesonarsignalbouncesbetweenthebottomandthesurfaceofthewaterandback

again.Hardbottomswillshowastrongsecondreturn,whilesoftbottomswillshowa

Whenoperatinginveryclearwaterorgreaterdepths,increasedsensitivityshows

weakerreturnsthatmaybeofinterest.Decreasingthesensitivityeliminatesthe

clutterfromthedisplaythatissometimespresentinamuddywater.IfSensitivityis
