Wake up your sonar
Connect your Deeper Sonar to a USB power source using
the cable included. For charging please use a standard
smartphone or tablet charger, or connect the cable to

When you connect your Deeper START to a power source,
it automatically turns on. An orange light will ash in
intervals to show the device is charging. The speed and
number of ashes indicates the status of the battery.
– One ash means the battery is low but charging,
– Two ashes means 25% charged,
– Three ashes means 50% charged,
– Four ashes means 75% charged,
– A constant light means the battery is fully charged.

So smart it switches
on automatically
There’s no power button on your Deeper START: it turns
on automatically when it is in water or connected to a
power source.
When it’s out of water or not being charged, it switches
o to save battery life.
Never put your Deeper in water when it is connected
with the charger cable! This could damage the device
and any damage will not be covered by the warranty.

Pair your Deeper START with an
iPhone or iPad
If you use an iPhone or iPad, follow these steps:
– Be sure that your shnder is switched on (either connected
to a power source or in the water);
– Open Settings in your mobile device, then open
Mobile Data and make sure that the Wi-Fi Assist
function is turned o. This is important because when
this function is active, the connection with your Deeper
START may be unstable.
– Then open Settings in your mobile device, then Wi-Fi
and turn it on.

networks and click it.
Your Deeper START is now connected with your iPhone or
iPad - you might see No Internet Connection written.
Don’t worry, this is normal. It simply means that your
mobile device’s Wi-Fi connection is now being used for
your Deeper START and not the internet.

You can try your shnder at home,
but you probably won’t see sh
accurately.
If you put your Deeper START in a sh tank, cup, bucket,
bathtub, or similar container at home you will be able to
turn the device on and pair it with your mobile device. But
most likely the device won’t be able to scan properly –
you will probably just see an empty screen and the status
message: Too shallow or too deep.
Don’t worry, this is normal. Your Deeper START is a
sensitive sonar device that is designed for scanning in
wide open waters like rivers, lakes, and the sea. In small,
shallow and enclosed waters the sonar tries to scan, but
receives too many sonar returns from the bottom and
walls of your tank and cannot make an accurate reading.
Just try it at a real shing spot and you’ll get a real result!

It is time to go shing
When you see a constant light on your Deeper START
(while it’s connected to a power source), it means your
shnder is fully charged and ready to go. If you have
successfully paired it with your smartphone or tablet,
then you are ready to hit the water.

Attach your Deeper START
carefully and securely
Before you cast out your shnder, it is very important to
ensure it is correctly attached to your line and rod. Every
time you attach your Deeper START, please be careful to
attach it correctly and check these points:
1. Is your line passing correctly through the tip top (the
last and smallest line guide on your rod)? If the line is
looped or knotted here, the line can break when casting
and you could lose your shnder.
2. Are you using good quality line that is not worn or
frayed?
3. Is the swivel clip fully and correctly closed? This is
important because your shnder could be lost if the clip
is not closed correctly.

Switch on your Deeper for scanning
Launch the Deeper App in your smartphone or tablet, then
put your shnder in the water close to where you are (no
further than 2m / 6ft). Your Deeper START will automatically
turn on and connect with your mobile device.

If your Deeper START is in the water but doesn’t connect
with your mobile device (in the Deeper App you will see
the status message Deeper is disconnected at the bottom
of the screen), please follow these steps:
1. Open settings in your mobile device and make sure
that Wi-Fi is on.
2. Make sure your Deeper START’s battery is charged.
When you’re out on your shing trip you can connect
your shnder to a car charger or a portable power bank
and check which light shows. If the battery is empty,
charge it!
3. Check the temperature. The Deeper START has an
operating range of 0°C to 40°C / 32°F to 104°F. Please note
that water and air temperature may be dierent, and here
water temperature is most important.
4. Make sure you are using a compatible mobile device
and you are using the latest version of the app.
5. If the devices still don’t connect, contact our support.

Cast and Scan!
Cast your Deeper START to the spot you want to scan and
reel it back in. As you reel back, look at the underwater
scans shown on your smartphone or tablet.
When you cast and reel in your Deeper START, keep your
smartphone/tablet in a position where it can easily pick
up the signal from your shnder. If your smartphone /
tablet is on the ground or in your pocket, the connection
may be unstable. We recommend using the Deeper
Smartphone Mount for rods.
