How sonars work
Before you start using your Deeper device, it is important to understand some basic points about how sonars work.
1. Sonars scan in cones.
This means when you mark a fish or feature, it is somewhere within the cone sent down by your sonar (not
necessarily directly below your sonar). It also means that the deeper you scan, the wider the area you cover,
because the sonar cone gets bigger as it goes down.
2. Sonar displays constantly scroll

When your Deeper is in the water, the sonar will be scanning constantly. This means the display continually scrolls
from right to left, even if the sonar itself isn’t moving.
Read our page on how sonars workfor a detailed explanation of these points, plus lots more useful information that
will ensure you understand your device correctly.
Installing the Deeper App

1. Open App Store or Google Play on your smartphone or tablet, and search for Fish Deeper.
2. Download and Install the Deeper App
ⓘ The Deeper App works on a wide range of devices that use iOS or Android operating systems. To check if the
Deeper App will work on your device please go toCompatibility
Standard mode. Basic imaging (all models)
In Standard mode set to basic imaging, you will be shown the bottom and Fish Icons. In this mode, your Deeper
sends much less information to your phone. So, this mode can be useful for preserving battery life, improving the
connection range, and also for inexperienced anglers who just need to know bottom depth and where the fish are.
Logging in
To login to Lakebook™, go to maps.deepersonar.com. You can login using Facebook, Google or your My Deeper
username and password. It is the same user name and password you use for the Deeper App.
Charging and connecting
First unscrew the top cover to open the device – please always ensure the device is dry before opening it. Now
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 your personal computer, your car’s power outlet, or the USB
outlet of another device.
When you connect your Deeper CHIRP+ to a power source, it automatically turns on. An orange light will flash in

intervals to show the device is charging. The number of flashes indicates the status of the battery.
One flash means charging just started and the battery is still empty.
Two flashes mean 25% charged
Three flashes mean 50% charged
Four flashes mean 75% charged
A green light means the battery is fully charged.

A blue light indicates that the temperature is too cold for charging. The lithium-ion battery cannot be
charged at temperatures below 3°C / 37.4°F. Please take your Deeper Sonar to room temperature conditions
and resume charging.
A red light means there is a problem with charging. In this case, first please try a different charger and
cable. Next, please leave the device charging for a longer period (over 1 hour). If the light is still red, please
contact Support.

Once your device is charged, screw the top cover back on, ensuring it is closed tightly so that the words ‘Water’
and ‘Proof’ align perfectly.
ⓘ Never put your Deeper in water when it is connected to the charger cable. This could damage the device and any
damage will not be covered by the warranty. Always ensure the top cover is firmly closed and the Water Proof
marks are perfectly aligned before putting your Deeper Sonar in water.
ⓘ Please note you can only connect to one Deeper Sonar at a time from your phone or tablet. And your Deeper
Sonar can only connect to one phone or tablet at a time.
Connection issues with Deeper’s Wi-Fi
Firstly, please bear in mind that the connection ranges of 100m / 330ft (PRO/PRO+) and 50m /165ft(START) are
maximum ranges and can only be achieved in perfect conditions and with a smartphone or tablet that has a strong
reception antenna. Conditions like bad weather or using an incorrect attachment point may reduce the connection
range.
To ensure a better connection range, first switch offMobile Dataon your smartphone / tablet, as this can affect

the strength of your Wi-Fi signal.Mobile datastrongly reduces the amount of information your device can send
via its Wi-Fi connection.

For iPhones and iPads, it is very important to turn offthe Wi-Fi assistfeatureas this feature can automatically
switch off the connection with your Deeper. You can find this feature in the settings menu of your device.
Some Android phones have a similar feature, although the name of it may vary depending on the model of the
phone. On Samsung phones, it is calledSmart network switch. Other Android phones may have a similar feature
with a different name. Please make sure that youturn offany settings that make your smartphone automatically
disconnect from Wi-Fi networks with a poor internet connection.Other possible names for this feature include:
Adaptive Wi-Fi / Auto Network Switch / Wi-Fi+.
If you’re using any VPN services that may require a Wi-FI connection it is better to turn them off. If you don’t, the
Deeper App may have difficulties connecting to the device automatically.
Do not to keep your smartphone or tablet on the ground while using the Deeper, as this can also reduce the
strength of the signal. To maximize connectivity you should use theDeeper Smartphone Mount.
Please also note that it is only possible to connect to the Deeper using one smart device at a time. This means it
will be impossible to connect to a Deeper Sonar if it is already connected to another phone or tablet. To switch off
all current connections, simply take the Deeper out of the water, wipe it and wait for 5 minutes for the unit to turn
off. Then, put it in the water again and connect.
If the device connects when on charge but does not connect when in the water, please check the water sensors on
the bottom (the two metal points on the bottom housing of your Deeper). You can clean them by roughly scrubbing
them with a sponge, or an electronic contact cleaner can be used if needed.

For the 3.0/PRO/PRO+ models only,make sure you are using the correct attachment point in order to ensure a
stable. When fishing from a dock or bridge, screw your attachment bolt to the middle attachment point. Use the
bottom attachment point if you're fishing from the shore. It is important that your Deeper does not tilt when being
trolled or reeled. When it tilts, it scans the water surface rather than the bottom, giving inaccurate readings, and
it’s Wi-Fi transmissions can be blocked, causing connectivity issues.
If these tips do not solve the issue, please reach out to theDeeper Support team.

Charging and connecting
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 your personal computer or the USB outlet of another device
(outlets must meet USB standards and have a voltage level of 5V).
When you connect your Deeper START to a power source, it automatically turns on. The light shown indicates the
charge status of the battery:
An orange blinking light means that the fishfinder is charging. The number of flashes shows the battery status:
One flash means charging just started and the battery is still empty.
Two flashes mean 25% charged
Three flashes mean 50% charged
Four flashes mean 75% charged
A constant light means the battery is fully charged.


If the light blinks rapidly without stopping there is a problem with charging. In this case, please follow these 2 steps.
1. Check the temperature. If it is 0°C / 32°F or lower, please try charging your Deeper START in room
temperature conditions.
2. If you still see a rapidly blinking light, please contact Support.
