line
snap
line clip
end of the line
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.
Warning
Attention
2. Be careful to keep fingers clear of the levelwind mechanism. It can pinch your fingers
and cause injuries.
1.This product generates weak electro-magnetic waves while its power is ON, which could
cause malfunction of medical equipment such as hearing aids, pacemakers and other
devices. Wearers of heart pacemakers could experience variations in heartbeat or
dizziness. So please, be sure to ask the manufacturer or dealer of your specific medical
equipment about any potential hazards posed by the effects of electro-magnetic waves.
1. If your sinker or lure is caught on the bottom, cut your line rather than jerk the rod to
free it.
2. After fishing, rinse and dry the reel thoroughly. Store in a dry place.
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
the 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.
Do not reel in the end of the line

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.
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

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. This can result in poor reel performance.
Please use a battery made specifically for fishing reels, such as
our lithium battery.

Using the Reel
About the counter display
1. Do not jerk your rod to free a lure or sinker stuck on the
bottom. Pull the line taught with a gloved hand and cut it.
2. After maintenance, be sure to loosen the drag and store the
reel in a dry place.
3. Handle the reel with care to avoid dropping and possibly
damaging it.
4. Do not use metal wire as the reelʼs main line.
The following conditions may make the display difficult to read.
1. Wearing polarized glasses.
2. Excessively cold or hot weather, mid-winter (displayʼs surface
temperature is below –10 degrees centigrade) and mid-summer
(displayʼs surface temperature is above 60 degrees centigrade).
3. When light strikes the display from certain angles, the displayʼs
digits may have shadows. This does not affect its function.
