function is switched off as well. The night position LED lamp and the swinger are
functioning.
Fluctuating beep at high-speed ride
The indicator indicates high-speed unwinding of the shing line (the ride) by a uctuating
beep. This function is welcomed by anglers, and for this reason it is set as default by the
manufacturer. If you prefer a traditional and simple long-drawn tone, you can switch off
the uctuating beep function:
To switch off the uctuating beep function at the ride
■Press the push button ten times in rapid succession to reach the FC position.
■A short beep resounds, the green LED ashes shortly, and the function is off. To switch
the function on again, use the identical procedure.
Ultrasensitivity of the sensor - USS function
■Press the push button fteen times in rapid succession to reach the PC positon, red
LED ashes shortly.
■By turning the “S” button completely to the left, the function of ultrasensitivity is
activated (this does not distinguish the direction of shing-line unwinding). The
function can be switched off in the same manner.

RECEIVER - CONTROL ELEMENTS
Receiver switching on / off
To switch on the receiver:
■Press the push button ON/OFF for approx. 1 second.
■A double short beep will resound, and LEDs ash briey towards the right-hand side; LED
BAT indicates the battery charge (green LED = battery OK).
To switch off the receiver:
Press the push button ON/OFF for approx. 1 second.
A long-drawn deep beep will resound, and LEDs ash briey towards the left-hand side.
Matching with indicator (or accessories)
■Press the PLUS and MINUS push buttons simultaneously and hold for 1 second.
■A white LED at position 1 comes on.
■Using the PLUS and MINUS push buttons step to the position at which you wish to store the
new indicator. Turn the reading pulley at the bite indicator which will send a signal and the
receiver stores this. The matching is nished.
If a deep beep resounds at matching, and the white LED is still on (the bite indicator has not
been matched), the position is already occupied, or the same indicator has already been
stored in the memory. In the same say, you can also match other accessories (alarm devices).
You have up to 12 channels available, two devices for each LED. The rst group of six lights
with white LED while learning, the other group of six lights with red LED.
Removal of bite indicator from the memory
■Press the side PLUS and MINUS push buttons simultaneously.
■A white LED at position 1 comes on.
■Using the PLUS and MINUS push buttons, step to the position you wish to delete (vacate).
■Press the MINUS push button and hold for 1 second. = deleted.
■The deletion is indicated by a quite deep beep and the red LED at a given position (1 - 6)
comes on for a short time.
Differentiation of parachute at listening-in device
Flashing memory signalization = parachute indication.
Remote control of FLACARP lamps
The listening-in device makes it possible to control FLACARP lamps remotely. Simply by
short pressing the main pushbutton on the listening-in device, you can control up to four
FLACARP lamps. Press this main pushbutton once, you control the rst lamp; when you
press the pushbutton twice, you control the second lamp; when you press the pushbutton
three times, you control the third lamp; when you press the pushbutton four times, you
control the fourth FLACARP lamp. The transmitting, or the chosen channel is displayed by
short lighting-up of LED No. 1–4 on the listening-in device.
Clear adjustment of sound volume on listening-in device
When adjusting the volume using PLUS and MINUS side pushbuttons, the volume degree is
now clearly displayed by a LED column on the listening-in device (1-6).
Range of listening-in device, battery lifetime
Our bite indicators are equipped with a high-powered transmitter for listening with long
range. The reason for this super-sized range consists in its excellent spreading even in the
case of obstacles, dams, and terrain irregularities, which reduce the range signicantly. Our
listening-in device will be thus reliable even in places where other bite indicators can fail.
The battery lifetime corresponds to the frequency of product use and to the intensity of
sound indication; at bite indicator, it also depends on the adjusted LED brightness and beep
volume. The higher LED brightness or the more intensive beep, the shorter battery lifetime.
If you do not use the bite indicator for a longer period of time (at the end of the season), we
recommend to remove the batteries to avoid product damage caused by leaking batteries.

RECEIVER - DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS
Clear indication of battery condition at FLACARP F1 indicator
After short pressing the FC push button on the indicator (press shortly the switch
lever downwards to the screw), the current battery condition is clearly displayed by a
colour column of LEDs within approx. two seconds.
■All three colours are on (full column - green + blue + red) = battery is fully charged,
lifespan up to several months.
■Only blue + red are on = battery capacity is below 50%, lifespan still several weeks.
■Only red is on = low battery capacity, lifespan only for several days, max. weeks. It is
necessary to replace the battery.
The signalling is indicative, and it is very dependent on the type of batteries, condition
of batteries, temperature, and especially frequency of bites. However, it can avoid
the situation when the angler comes to the water, and his/her indicator switches off
because the batteries are empty.
Before your trip, you only need to verify the battery condition by pressing the
pushbutton shortly. Moreover, the indicator also includes the energy saving function:
■If the battery capacity drops below a dangerous limit, it reduces the consumption
by decreasing the LED brightness and sound intensity to achieve a reliable
assessment of the bite.
This function can extend the battery lifespan even by 10%. If the battery capacity
is very low, the bottom LED slightly ashes in red (5times after switching on, after a
bite, or another event). If the bottom LED is permanently on, the battery capacity is
critical, and the indicator can fail to work.
