1. Foreword
Thank you for purchasing our company's FP5X
bluetooth fish finder. In order to ensure the correct
and safe use of this product and maximize its
performance, please read this manual carefully
before operation。
This product is designed with a Bluetooth transfer
function, which can be connected to a mobile phone.
This product operates on rechargeable batteries.
How it works: This product uses sonar to detect
water depth, fish schools, and help you determine the
bottom profile, composition, and structure. The principle
is: the fish finder sends a series of pulsed ultrasonic
waves into the water, the ultrasonic waves propagate in
the water, and when encountering various obstacles, the
echoes are returned to the fish finder. The echoes are
detected by the fish finder and then converted into
electrical signals. The microprocessor uses special
algorithms to process the signals to analyze the
composition, distance and size of obstacles, and the
processing results are displayed on the screen for user
reference.

2. Safety Tips
Please observe the following safety tips, otherwise
it may cause equipment sensitivity decline, equipment
failure, and property damage:
The water depth measurement and obstacle
detection functions of this device cannot be used to
assist navigation on the water, so as to avoid hitting
rocks, damage to the boat or personal injury. If you
suspect that you have entered shallow water or there
are obstacles underwater, please sail with caution at low
speed.
Do not attempt to disassemble parts that are not
instructed and described in this manual, as doing so will
result in loss of warranty and even equipment damage.
Keep this product away from heat sources such as
radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat sources.
Do not store at extreme temperatures above 60°C.
Children under the age of 10 should only use this
product under adult supervision!

5.1 Hold the lower cover and the upper cover of the
fish finder with the left and right hands respectively, turn
and unscrew the upper cover counterclockwise, insert
the DC port of the charging cable into the charging port
of the fish finder, and connect the USB port to the USB
power adapter (the power adapter requires User

prepared, it is recommended to use
5V1A/5V1.5A/5V2A);
5.2 When charging, the charging indicator LED (red)
will flash; when the battery is fully charged, the indicator
LED will always on.
5.3 Twist the upper cover back clockwise, and turn
it about two turns to get it in place. At this time, the
shape of the bottom cover is symmetrical on the upper
and lower sides, and the threading nuts are located on
the left and right sides. At this time, you will feel that the
resistance increases significantly.
Notice:
1. If the temperature of the fish finder is lower than
-10°C, the output power of the battery and the battery
life of the device will decrease. The low temperature
may cause the battery to charge too slowly or cannot be
charged. Please charge it in an environment above 0°C.
2. The charging voltage of the fish finder is 5V. It is
forbidden to charge the fish finder with other charging
cables, otherwise it may damage the fish finder.
6. Introduction to the Use of Fish Finder
6.1 Usage Method

--5--
Method 1: Connect the fishing line to use the cast
rod;
Tie the fish finder, float and bait to the fishing line
and put them into the water together. When the fish
finder enters the water, it will automatically start working.
This product uses sonar technology, the fish finder
injects ultrasonic waves into the water, and the central
processor of the fish finder will filter and analyze the
collected signals. The analysis results are then compiled
and displayed on the mobile phone display. The latest
data is on the far right of the display and disappears on
the far left. The middle of the display shows the
underwater structure. Water depth, temperature, fish
logo are all shown on the display.
Method 2: Use with a remote control boat and send

--6--
the fish finder to the fishing spot.
6.2 Precautions for the Use of Fish Finder
1. When the fish finder is working, do not touch the
bottom of the fish finder with your hands. Otherwise, the
test results of the product will be wrong, and even the
components inside will be damaged. If you want to get a
working fish finder out of the water, you can grab the fish
finder casing around the edges and remove it.
2. Our products can be used for a long time under
normal conditions. However, due to the ups and downs
in the water, the fish finder may be impacted, causing it
to hit the reef and other objects, resulting in damage to
the fish finder.
3. Due to the physical properties of ultrasound itself,
we recommend not using this product when the water
depth is below 0.8m (2.5FT).
6.3 Usage Mode：
6.3.1 Real-time scan mode
The fish finder can scan the water bottom of the
passing location in real time. Put the fish finder into the
water, slowly drag the fish finder to move on the water
surface, you will be able to see the accurate bottom
information (including bottom structure, depth, fish
position, etc.) from the display.
6.3.2 Fixed point scan mode

--7--
Put the fish finder into the water and let it float on
the surface. It will scan the water bottom of the
monitoring area. Bottom information will be
automatically shown on the display. Once a fish enters
the monitoring area, the fish symbol will appear on the
display.
6.4 About the Fish Finder
The fish finder consists of two parts: one part is the
sonar part and the other part is the radio part. Sonar part:
compile the collected signal through the radio part and
transmit it to your mobile phone.
6.5 Power supply part
The power supply of the fish finder part is a polymer
rechargeable battery. When the battery is used up, you
can charge it by yourself. For the charging method,
please refer to the illustration above.
6.6 How to Tie the Fish Finder
The upper cover and lower cover of the probe are
each designed with a screw hole, screw the matching
threading screw into the screw hole, and then tie the
fishing line in the hole of the threading screw.
The screws need to be tightened, and the fishing
line needs to be tied firmly to prevent the probe from
being lost. For safety, the two threading screws of the
upper cover and the bottom cover can be tied at the

--8--
same time, and it is necessary to ensure that the sonar
working surface floats vertically downward on the water
surface.
Before use, please check whether the fishing line
tied to the threading screw is in good condition. If any
damage is found, please replace the fishing line.
6.7 Electronic Switch
There are 2 contact terminals at the bottom of the
fish finder, these 2 terminals are the electronic switch of
the fish finder.
The working process of the electronic switch is as
follows:
1. When the fish finder is put into the water, the two
terminals touch the water surface, the conductivity of the
water will make the two terminals conduct, and the fish
finder switch is turned on and starts to work. Because
pure water does not contain ions and has no
conductivity, the fish finder cannot be automatically
turned on in pure water. Please do not test the machine
in pure water.
2. When the fish finder is taken out of the water,
after the water on the fish finder is wiped dry, the
electronic switch will continue to work for 2 minutes. If
the APP is closed or disconnected, the fish finder will
power off after 2 minutes.
