OVERVIEW
FishHunter™ PRO is the world’s fastest and only Tri-Frequency,
wireless, portable fish finder for Apple and Android smartphones
and tablets. The sonar floats on the surface of the water and can be
cast and trolled behind your boat or placed in your ice hole where
it tracks water temperature, water depth, bottom contour and fish
locations.
The FishHunter™ PRO fish finder sonar connects to your
smartphone / tablet via Wi-Fi using our free software APP, so you
don’t need to have a cell tower connection or use your cellular data
to use your new fish finder.
Using our free FishHunter™ PRO software app, you will also have
the ability to access and store critical fishing information like your
favourite fishing spots, your catch details and share your
information with your friends and other fishermen.

HOW TO CHARGE
Charging your FishHunter™ PRO can be done in 4 easy steps:
Step 2: Locate the 3 pin charging
port on the bottom of the sonar. It
is on the opposite side from the tow
point at the back of the sonar.
Step 1: Take the USB charge cord
from the box and hold the end that
has 3 pins holes in it.
Step 3: Push the USB cord into the
bottom of the sonar so that it fits in
snugly.
Step 4: Plug the USB cord into the
charger or any USB charging port.
A red light should appear on the top
of the sonar and stay on until fully
charged. When fully charged the
sonar will light up green.

FISH VIEW
FISH VIEW is our custom view where we receive the RAW sonar
data and reconfigure it on the app in a simplified and easy to read
manner. Specifically, we remove the surface reverb and produce a
more simplified bottom so that you get a nice clean water column.
Whenever the sonar detects a disturbance in the water column, a
fish icon appears on the screen. These icons identify the location
of the disturbance in relation to your location. This makes it easy
for you to identify where the fish are under your FishHunter™ PRO
sonar. In addition, you can have your phone make a sonar “ping”
whenever fish are found beneath your FishHunter™ PRO so you
don’t have to look at your phone.

RAW VIEW
RAW VIEW produces actual results from the powerful
Tri- Frequency Transducer in real time. In this mode, you become
an instant expert, interpreting the different coloured lines at the
bottom of the screen to see depth and structure while watching for
disturbances in the water column to locate fish. This powerful
hands on view gives you everything you need to rapidly identify and
catch more fish. The darker the color on the screen the more dense
the material the sonar is seeing, with red being the most dense
possible. The lighter colors indicate softer materials like wood
and weeds with blue being considered the water body itself. Fish
are identified as "arches" of color in the water column or near the
bottom depending on their location.
