Basic functions of the FISHTRON NEON TX3
•sound and optical fish bite signalling
•choice of three receivers
•differentiation of the direction of the unwinding fishing line by sound and movement of a LED column
(parachute)
•continuous volume control
•sensitivity control ranging from 5 mm to 150 mm
•integrated remote listening transmitter (works with FISHTRON RX MULTI, FISHTRON RX SIX and
FISHTRON RX MINI receivers)
•pitch adjustment
•multifunction button
•integrated ambient light sensor and automatic LED brightness control (can be switched off)
•positional night LEDs (light up automatically after dark)
•connector for swinger connection
•low power consumption – long battery life
•rear white positional LEDs – BEACON
Description of rotary controls
The left rotary knob S (SENS) sets the fishing line sensitivity continuously in the range of 150 mm in standard
mode (the knob turned to the far left) to 5 mm (turned to the far right). In the tone setting mode (when you press
the control button for 6 seconds), the knob is used to select the pitch; the deepest tone is selected by turning
it to the far left and the highest tone is selected by turning it to the far right.
The right rotary knob V (VOLUME) is used to control the acoustic signalling volume; the acoustic signalling is
turned off when the knob is turned to the far left and set to the maximum possible volume when turning it to the
far right.
The multifunction button at the rear side of the alarm has the following functions
•Press briefly to turn the alarm on and off. Turning on the alarm is accompanied by a double high tone and
the LED column upward movement; turning off by a deep tone and the LED column downward movement.
•A very short press turns on the MUTE function: all sounds and transmission are off. It’s used when the
fisherman adjusts e.g. the weights, fixes the swinger or otherwise handles the fishing rod and doesn’t want
to be bothered by unnecessary sound signalling.
•Holding the button for approximately three seconds activates the BEACON function. The rear white LEDs
indicate the position of the alarm or fishing spot by short flashes at night or in poor visibility when the
fisherman feeds the feed, for example. When the BEACON function is activated, the LEDs flash in a 1-
second interval for 10 seconds. Then the LEDs flash at 4-second intervals until the BEACON function is
turned off.
•Holding it for 6 seconds turns on the pitch setting function. Upon activating this mode, the pitch accompanied by
the LED column indication is adjusted by turning the left multifunction control element. After setting the required
pitch by pressing the button again, this value is saved in the alarm’s memory. The pitch setting mode automatically
ends 5 seconds after the last tone change.
•The automatic LED brightness control is switched on or off with five very short presses of the button. The
LEDs are then always maximally lit, even after dark.
Output connector at the bottom
It’s designed to connect a lit swinger; the swinger lights up and stays lit for 30 seconds after fish bite.
Battery Replacement
The batteries are located on the back of the receiver under the battery cover. Before replacing it’s necessary to
remove the battery cover by pressing it at the top and pulling it out towards the bottom edge of the receiver. The
correct battery polarity is shown on the battery holder. Put the cover back after replacing.
