will change to the corresponding status. If the connection is not successful, the remote LCD will show a
demo picture for 30 seconds. If the connection is established, the LCD will show water temperature and
depth on its left. When the depth is 0, it means the sonar cannot detect the water depth(the possible
cause may be either no deeper than 1 meter, or too deep to detect. Maybe the sonar sensitivity setting is
too low).
Each mode has its corresponding parameter setting

The depth range for this system is 0.6 - 32 meters. The system won’t work outside of this range. If the
estimated depth is shallow, we can choose low sensitivity. For example, 60 for 5 meters. The deep depth,
the higher sensitivity. Try not to set the sensitivity to a very high level, it may cause false target.
Please make sure the bait boat is stable in the water when using the sonar system. The sonar system will
draw a picture when the bait boat is moving.
GPS uses techniques and matters needing attention：
Note:
Due to the weather and/or location, it may take up to 1 minute to find the satellite signal. And it may
take another 5 minutes for GPS to work properly. The weather condition will change the GPS sensitivity.
Please do NOT use the GPS in the room. Any signal towers, big constructions, and/or big trees will
lower the GPS reception. Please use it in an open space.

set, the LCD display will show the distance while the bait boat is moving. Please note: do NOT let the bait
boat to go outside of the maximum control range.
Destination storage: See the section GPS parameter Settings。
Stored destinations: The storage module can save up to 8 destinations. If the user wants the bait boat
to go back to the previous feeding point, just check the current location data. When the error is 0.000,
then the bait boat is at the previous destination. Under GPS mode on the LCD display, the error
information is shown on the bottom right corner.
