GettingStarted
Beforeanyuseofthedevice,ensureyouhavereadallthesafetyinformationprovidedinthe
separateleaflet.Thissectionprovidesyouwithquickstepbystepinstructionsfromthe
momentyouunpackyourDeepertoyourfirstfishfinding.Followthediagramsalongwiththe
commentstostartusingthegadget.
FridayLab,UABiscontinuouslydevelopingthisproduct,thereforeillustrationsin
thismanualmaynotlookthesameasyourproductbutyourunitwillfunctioninthe
sameway.Pleaserefertotheelectronicmanualprovidedwitheachmobile
applicationupdate.

OpeningandCharging
1. EnsureyourDeepergadgetisdrybeforeopeningit.
2. Openthegadgetbyturningitstophalfcounterclockwise.
3. Connectthechargertothegadgetwithaprovidedcable.
4. Plugthechargertothemainsoryourcar’spoweroutlet.
5. Blinkingfrequencyoftheorangeindicatorrepresentsthechargingstate.Higher
numberofblinksreferstohigherchargelevel.Chargingiscompletewheneverthe

indicatorgoesgreen.
Iftheindicatorglowsred,yourDeeperneedsservicing.PleaseReferto’Guarantee’for
furtherdetails.
Thelithiumionbatterycannotbechargedatatemperaturebelow3°C(37.4°F).Ifthe
indicatorglowsblue,itistoocoldtochargetheDeeper.
Deeperissuppliedwithunchargedbattery.Toensurefullcapacityofthebattery,
completelychargethebatterybeforeusingDeeperforthefirsttime.Expected
chargingtimeis2hours.Thelithiumionbatterycanbechargedatanytimewithout
reducingitsservicelife.Interruptingthechargingproceduresdoesnotdamagethe
battery.Thevoltageofthebatterychargermustcorrespondwiththedatagivenon
thenameplateofDeeper.Disconnectthebatterychargerfromthemainssupply
whennotusingitforlongerperiods.
WhenDeeperisfullycharged,theexpectedoperationaltimeisupto4hourswhen
workingwiththe290kHz(Referto§3.5)setting.
InordertoincreasethebatterylifeofyourDeeper,donotleaveitunchargedfor
longperiodsoftime.EvenifyoudonotuseyourDeeper,rechargeitevery2months.
LithiumIonbatteriesliketheoneusedintheDeepercanbedangerousifhandled
inappropriately.Makesureyoufollowthechargingandbatterysafetyrules
providedintheseparateleaflet.
DonotchargeDeeperwhileinthewater.Protectthebatterycharger,dualUSBcar
charger,themicroUSBcableandthechargingmicroUSBportagainstmoisture.

1. ScanaQRcode,locatedon
theretailpackageorgoto
theGooglePlayortheApp
Storeonlineshopandsearch
fortheDeeperapplication.
2. Installtheapplicationjust
likeanyotherbyfollowing
onscreeninstructions.
Ifyouarenotatthefishingspotyetbutyoucan’twaittotryoutthefeaturesofyour
Deeperapplication,justlaunchit,gotosettingsandchoose“Try”.Thiswillallow
youtoaccessmostofthefeaturesoftheapplication,alsoprovidingademonstration
ofhowtheapplicationdisplayssonarinformationwhenyourDeeperisbeingreeled

PairingandConnecting
BeforeusingDeeperforthefirsttime,itmustbepairedwithyourmobiledeviceoratablet
asfollows:
1. EnsureyourDeeperiseitherchargingorisimmersedinwaterandsois
automaticallypoweredon.
2. GototheBluetoothsettingsofyourmobiledeviceandenableBluetooth.
3. Choose‘Deeper’inyourBluetoothsettingstopairandconnectittoyourdevice.Make
sure,thedistancetothegadgetdoesnotexceed10meters/~36feet,duringpairing.
4. Aftertheconnectionhasbeenestablishedsuccessfully,returntotheapplication.
YouonlyneedtopairyourDeeperonce.However,insomedevicesyoumayneedtomake
theconnectionseparatelyafterpairing.
YoucanpairmultipleDeepergadgetstoyourmobiledeviceandaccessanyofthem
byselectingwhichgadgettheapplicationconnectstointheapplicationSettings
(Referto§4.10).Onlyoneconnectioncanbeestablishedatatime.Settings).
Ifyouarealreadyatyourfishingspot,attachyourgadgettoafishinglinebefore
immersingitintowaterasinstructedinthefollowingsection(§2.4).Fishfinding.

Fishfinding
1. Ensureyourgadgetistightlyclosedandtheattachmentpointsare
alignedasdepictedinthediagram.

2. Insertanattachmentbolt
intoasuitableattachment
pointonyourDeepergadget,
aschosenaccordingtoyour
plannedanglingconditions,
fasteningtheboltwith1.5
Nmtorque.
3. Securelyattachthefishing
linetotheinserted
attachmentbolt.
4. Castconnectedgadgettothe
desiredspot.
5. Launchtheapplicationandstartfishfinding.
6. Eitherreelinyourgadgetforanovervieworkeepitstationaryforfishmonitoring
Onlyattachyourgadgettoasufficientlystrongfishinglineanduseasuitable,
properlytightenedknot.Alsoensurethatyourfishingpolewithstandtheweightof
theDeeper.Otherwiseyouareatriskoflosingthedevice,damagingtheequipment
orsomeone’sproperty,orevencausinganinjury.
Whenreelingthedevice,ensureitglidessmoothlyontopofthewaterwithitsheavy
sidefacingtowardsthebottomasthiswillresultinthemostaccuratesonarview.

Sonaroperationalprinciples
1. Deepercanbeoperatedat
twodifferentfrequencies
(DualBeam).Precisenarrow
beam(15°@290kHz)isused
forhighaccuracyreturnsof
fish,structure,detailand
bottomprofile.Widebeam
(55°@90kHz)providesample
searchareaforfish,baitfish
andbottomstructure.
Itisbesttousethelowfrequency(90kHz)settingtofigureout,wherethefishare
andswitchtothehighfrequency(290kHz)settingtogetmoreaccurateinformation
aboutfishpositionorbottomstructure.
Bydefault,Deeperissettohighfrequency(290kHz)setting,whichisdesignedfor

SmartImaging:Detailedmode
1. TheDeeperSmartFishfindercanhelpyoutodetermineifthebottomishardorsoft.
Whenthesonarsoundwavesarereflectedbackbythebottom,ahardbottomreturns
astrongersignalthanasoftbottom.Onyoursmartphoneortabletscreensonar
returnsaredisplayedasorange(strongest).brown(medium)andblack(weakest).
Thebottomofthewaterisalwaysgoingtobethestrongestsignal,andthereforethe
mostintensivecolor.Thebottomisthecontinuous,intenselycoloredlinerunning

2. Highsonarsensitivitywithoursoftwarealgorithmsallowsustodetermineweed
beds,vegetation.etc…Thesereturnswillbeshowningreencolor.
3. Alongthetopofthescreen,youwillseeabluecolorwatersurfacelinewitha
groupingofintensecolors.Thisareaissurfaceclutter,whichcanbecausedbywaves
oranyothersonarinterferenceatthesurfaceofthewater.
4. DeeperSmartFishfinderincludesthelatesttechnologyininterpretingbottom
signals.Itcanseethroughfish,structuresandthermoclines.Largeschooloffishor
densestructuresclosetothebottomcanaffectwaterdepthreturnreadings.
5. TheFishiconoptionallowsyoutofindfishbyviewingtheactualsonardataora
combinationofafishsymbolandactualsonardata.Simulatedfishiconsare
displayedinthreedifferentsizesbasedonthesizeofthereturn.
Actualfishreturnsmaynotappearasperfectarches,duetospeed,fishorientation,
and/orotherconditions.
6. TheunitwillclearlyshowschoolsofBaitFishascloudsofdifferentshapesandsizes,
dependingonthenumberoffishandboatspeed.
7. Whenthesonarsoundwavesarereflectedbackbythebottom,ahardbottomreturns
astrongersignalthanasoftbottom.Youmayalsoseeasecondsonarreturnswhen
thesonarsignalbouncesbetweenthebottomandthesurfaceofthewaterandback
again.Hardbottomswillshowastrongsecondreturn,whilesoftbottomswillshowa
veryweakoneornoneatall.
8. Sensitivitycontrolshowmuchdetailisshownonthedisplayofyoursmartphoneor

showsmoresonarreturnsfromsmallbaitfishandsuspendeddebrisinthewater.
Whenoperatinginveryclearwaterorgreaterdepths,increasedsensitivityshows
weakerreturnsthatmaybeofinterest.Decreasingthesensitivityeliminatesthe
clutterfromthedisplaythatissometimespresentinamuddywater.IfSensitivityis
