Methods of Inputting Line
The input method is simple: all you have to do is
just to input data for spooling the reel with Daiwa
shelf sensor bright.
Input method of back line data
This will require a main line of 100m or longer
specific length.
Method of re-inputting of line values after the
main line is originally wound.
This method is used when the line length is
known before winding.

Electric reelʼs basic
operations
The electric reel used in the anima-
tion is TANACOM BULL-1000.

DO NOT allow end of line to be wound onto the spool.This may cause synchronization with the levelwind to
be lost, a condition that can damage the levelwind due to the reelʼs high power output. Should this happen,
line should be removed from spool and rewound.
After each trip, attach line to line clip to prevent it accidentally being wound onto reel.
Caution
Precautions
Warning
Attention
1. Be careful to keep fingers clear of the levelwind mechanism. It can pinch your fingers
and cause injuries.
2. When the clutch is engaged and the line feeding motor is in operation, be careful not
to catch your fingers to avoid any injury.
1. If your sinker or lure is caught on the bottom, cut your line rather than jerk the rod to free
it.(Protect your hands with gloves or towel.)
2. After fishing, rinse and dry the reel thoroughly. Store in a dry place.Loosen the drag after
use.
3. Handle the reel with care. Dropping it may cause damage.
4. Do not touch the line while reel is running. It could cut your skin.
5. Use this reel for fishing purposes only.
6. Be careful not to get reel grease on your clothing.
7. Do not use metal wire for the main line.
8. Sharp impacts due to inadvertent drop or other reasons may cause reel body breakage,
damage to the inner electronic components, and cracks or short circuit of the board,
resulting in functional disability.
1. Do not disassemble the reel. It could result in malfunction that could damage the reel
or cause personal injury.
1. Do not touch moving parts while the reel is operating or it may cause injury.
2. Drag adjustment should only be done with the auto winding functions off.
1. When you use a power source other than the battery or the power source provided by
boat, be sure it is of the proper voltage. Excess voltage will harm the reel and may
generate enough heat to burn your hands.
2. Do not use badly rusted cord to prevent electrical heat.

Power source
How to connect the reel to the power source
About the power source
Battery indicator
1. Attach the cord clips to the battery. Red covered clip is the plus
(+), and the black covered clip is the minus (-).
2. Insert the connector into the reel. After this, the display
appears as below.
By taking the appropriate steps, the indication will
change as shown below and the data will be set.
This reel is made to accept DC 12 Volt power only. Power sources
providing other than this cannot be used.
The power provided by a boat can be unstable, causing the reel to
stop unintentionally. Please use a battery made specifically for
fishing reels, such as our lithium battery.
With power on, digits of the inverse counter (counter in the lower
area) will blink if voltage gets below DC 9 V.
If the display shows this when the motor is not running, then
battery voltage is likely to be low. In this case, replace the battery
with a recharged one.
Attention
1.When changing batteries, the display’s backup memory stays active for about 15 minutes
after the old battery is disconnected. Thus the above display startup sequence does not
need to replay when the new battery is connected within the 15 minute time frame.
Attention
Make sure of the following before departure.
1. Recharge the battery before your fishing trip. Over time, a battery can naturally discharge.
2. Confirm the boat can provide the proper power source (i.e. voltage, connector shape etc).
3. Corroded connections can prevent the flow of electric current. Remove any corrosion or
dirt from the connectors.
This figure shows the
voltage is 8.5 V

Maintenance
About maintenance
Maintenance procedure
This is a washable reel. Wash away salt residue and grit after fishing
1. Wash the reel with a dish washing detergent and a soft
sponge. Do not use solvents.
Do not use soap or other detergents. Other soaps or solutions
may damage the reel both externally and internally. The solution
may damage the outside coating of the reel and may breakdown
the grease inside of the reel creating an overflow of grease.
Attention
1. Do not submerse the reel when washing.
2. Do not use organic solvents such as benzene and thinner.
3. Do not use a steel brush or abrasive cleanser.
4. Do not attempt to look inside the oil hole. The oil may splash and spurt out of the oil
hole.

4. Dry the reel well.
2. Rinse detergent and dirt away with running water, rinsing the
spool very well to get rid of salt. Use warm water, under 30
degrees centigrade.
3. At the fishing site, spray the accessory oil into the oil hole on
the right sideplate.
Spray for only one second. Excessive spraying may result in an
overflow of oil.
Use ONLY the oil that is included with the reel. Other types of oil
may affect the overall performance of the reel.

Handling and maintenance of the power cord
Maintenance of the power cord
Follow the restrictions below to avoid cord problems. Do not cut or connect your cord by yourself as it can cause
unintended problems.
- Wipe the power cord with a wet cloth and dry it well.
- Pay special attention to drying the tips, with cover removed.
- Grease the connector after it is dried.
- Disconnect the power cord from the reel before storing.
Other maintenance points
- This reel is a precision instrument that employs electric circuity and motor. Do not disassemble the reel by
yourself.
- Cover the power connector on the reel with its protection cap.
- Old or worn cords can cause a bad connection and/or short circuit. Replace the cord every 2 years.
AB
Clean and grease area A (pins) and area
B (Circumferential area).
Do not hang the reel
by the power cord.
Do not wind the power
cord around the reel
body with the connector
inserted into the reel.
Do not wash the power
cord.
Do not set heavy items
on the power cord, or
tie knots in the power
cord.
Maintenance
Hold the connector, not the power cord, to pull the power
cord from the reel

- It adjusts brake tension on the spool to prevent backlash or line slack caused by dropping the line with hook and
sinker.
- You can freely adjust winding power, or winding speed, from zero(ON/OFF) to maximum, by 32 steps, by using
the lever.
- Tilting the lever forward adds power and speeds up the winding.
- Pulling the lever back slows down the winding.
- Without the lever positioned to OFF, it is impossible to start winding. You have to pull it back to the OFF position
before you start winding. An audible sound indicates the OFF position.
- The power lever is used to set numerical values on the various function displays.
- Adjusting the star drag allows the spool to slip against a strong pull to avoid line breakage.
(1) Adjust the drag while reel is on the rod and the line is strung through all the line guides.
(2) Adjust drag with the clutch ON, while pulling the line with your hands. Normally, the drag is adjusted to prevent
the weakest line in the line system from breaking.
- When the clutch is off simply push the button to engage the clutch to the on position.
- If the clutch setting is OFF, tilt the lever so that the clutch is set ON

- The clutch can be set OFF just by pressing down the lever lightly with your thumb.
- When the clutch setting is ON: Turning the handle winds up the line.
- When the clutch setting is OFF: Spooling can be made freely. The clutch is set ON by
turning the handle in the normal direction.
- The levelwind distributes line evenly on the spool as you wind it in.
(Under some special circumstances line may not wind evenly because of the clearance between the levelwind and
the line.)

This button resets the depth counter to zero.
The chumming timer is reset.
Make sure to press this button before you start fishing. The reset depth is used to make the auto stop function
work. (display shows ). The default setting of auto stop is 2 meters.
Pressing this button resets the counter in the lower area of the display.
- It memorizes distance from the bottom, handy for dropping a bait right back into the strike zone after youʼve been
bit.
- The chumming timer resumes after pressing this button.
- Once the button is pressed, the INVERSE COUNTER BUTTON can not be turned off.
Do not continuously hold down the reset button. This will prevent any counter errors. If you feel there is a
counter error or you made an operational mistake, press the RESET BUTTON to bring the counter indication
back to m, and restart from the beginning.
If is not displayed on the counter, press the INVERSE COUNTER BUTTON.
