Product Statement:
The product is a high-tech device integrating sonar, compass and GPS position-
ing and other technologies. It is mainly used for remote control bait boats or other
small boats. It needs to be installed correctly before it can be used. The perform-
ance of the product is greatly affected by environmental and human factors.
Therefore,
LUCKYSMART make the following statement:
1. Sonar characteristics:
The characteristics of sonar are affected by many factors, such as the installation
method of the probe, the current water area situation(the wave size ) etc. If the
water depth and bottom contour displayed on the screen are big different from
the actual situation, please check the installation of the probe carefully or contact
with your local dealer.
2. GPS positioning characteristics
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite positioning system controlled by
the US government. Under normal circumstances, there will be a certain deviat-
ion in domestic use. This is due to the attributes of the GPS system itself and has
nothing to do with this product. The GPS positioning accuracy of this product is
normally about 2 meters (it can reaches to 1 meter in a good enviroment). How-
ever, GPS positioning accuracy is greatly affected by environmental factors. If it is
used on cloudy days, foggy days, under large trees, or in non-open areas (with
highrise buildings, mountains, etc.), GPS positioning accuracy will be greatly eff-
ected.

Installation to bait boat
1.Install the probe
Warning: Please do not install the probe near the motor of the boat. Otherwise,
the electronic noise caused by the motor and the bubbles generated by the prope-
ller will greatly degrade the sonar performance of the product. Generally recom-
mended to install at a distance from the bow of boat that the position of 1/3 of the
length of the bait boat. And ensure that the probe draft is not less than 10CM.
Note: For different bait boats, the installation method of the probe is also different.
The following is the probe installation guide for different types of bait boats on the
market:
1) A bait boat without a probe mounting hole in the hull
itself
There is no specific probe mounting groove at the bottom of these bait boats. So
you need to use tools to punch holes to install the probe on the bottom of the boat.
The following is the installation diagram:
probe installation Introduction
1）Choose a flat installation
location at the bottom of the
boat. Drill a hole with a diam-
eter of approximately 15 mm
at the selected position.
2）Assemble the probe and
waterproof rubber pad.（Factory

Please use this product when the satellite status bar shows yellow or blue (mea-
ning the GPS signal is strong enough)
Red: 0-3 satellites
Yellow: 4-6 satellites
Blue: more than 6 satellites
Note: If the number of satellites column all
turn blue, it means that the product has recei-
ved signals from 12 satellites. So from the cha-
nge of the color bar, you can know how many
satellites can be received. Generally speaking,
more than 6 satellites (yellow) GPS can work
normally.

Compass
GPS receivers have a built-in electronic compass system. When you correctly in-
stall the GPS receiver on the boat, you can know the heading of the bow at any
time by observing the pointer of the electronic compass on the screen. So even
if the boat travels a long distance (200 meters away, it is out of your sight), or It
can control the trajectory of the boat at any time in harsh environments such as
night and fog, and accurately remotely control it to come back.
Note: When observing the compass direction, you can imagine that the device
screen is parallel to the horizontal plane placed so that it is easy to understand the
consistency of the bow direction and the compass needle direction on the screen.
Note: For electronic compass, ±15 degrees is the allowable error range. So while
the boat is moving, If you find a small deviation between the compass needle dir-
ection and the bow direction, this is normal.

Waypoint navigation
The waypoint refers to the location that the fisherman prefers personally in a cert-
ain fishing area. These points may be the usual make bait, may also be judged wh-
ere there are more fish based on past experience. Or a place where big fish often
haunt, etc. This product can save these points, and you can pick one of them as
the navigation point at any time in the future, and then navigate the bait boat to t
hat point. This product can store up to 500 waypoints.
How to create a waypoint
When the boat reaches a certain point, keep the boat still:
1) Press the MENU button, the [Go to] menu appears.
2) Then select [Quick Mark], press ENTER to display
Waypoint details.
3) After setting the waypoint, select [OK] and press ENTER
then the current position of the boat is created as a waypoint.
How to set a waypoint as a target point
1) Enter the [Go to] menu, press the MENU button to select
[GO to], then press ENTER to enter [Waypoint List].
2) In this list , select a waypoint and press ENTER key to
confirm. This waypoint is set as the current goal point.
Note: When a waypoint is successfully set as the target
point, a red "+" symbol will be displayed in the compass
area on the screen to represent the current target point.
How to set the name and icon of the waypoint
1) In the [Go To] menu, select [Waypoint ] and press ENTER
key to enter [Waypoint List].
2) Select the point you want to modify in the name position
and press ENTER,
Select [Details] and press ENTER to enter the waypoint

How to know the distance of the boat
from the shore and the target point
You can see an option [Home pos.] on the display.
This option represents the distance from the boat to the
origin.
Note: This product defaults to the point of origin when
the GPS receiver is powered on. Therefore, if you turn
on the GPS receiver on the shore, the [Home pos.]
represents the distance that the boat leaves the shore.
You can set any point as the origin.
The option [Dest Distance] represents the distance
between the boat and the target point.
How to set a point as the origin
1) In the [Go to] menu, select [Set Homepos] and press ENTER key. Now the
boat’s location is successfully set.
So the option [Home pos.] displayed on the screen indicates the distance of the

Sensitivity
Sensitivity is the sonar intensity. The stronger the sensitivity,
the more sonar signals will be returned and displayed on the
screen, and the more sensitive feedback from the underwater
situation will be. But if the water is very shallow, too high
sensitivity will also increase the reflected sound wave signal
too much, resulting in the wrong signal being displayed. If
the sensitivity is set too low in a deep water environment, it
will be difficult to detect the corresponding underwater signal.
Operation suggestion: In the case of deep water, increase the
sensitivity; In the case of shallow water, lower the sensitivity.
Depth range
For example: the current depth is 20 meters, and you only
need the fish information from 10 meters to 18 meters, you
only need to set the lower limit of depth to 18 meters and
the upper limit of depth to 10 meters, then only 10 meters
to 18 meters fish information will be displayed on the
screen.
Fish icon
Press the menu key until the fish icon menu is displayed.
The fish icon function is to use advanced signal processing
methods to distinguish and process the returned sound
waves, so the information of the detected fish will be acc-
urate to displayed on the screen. You can choose to turn
on or turn off the fish icon.
Surface clarity
When the sonar is just launched, the closer the distance,
the stronger the energy. And the stronger the detection
ability to small objects. This causes the interference of the
water surface to affect the normal detection, and the surf-
ace clarity function reduces the water surface the impact of
normal detection.
