Digital Fishing Barometer
User Manual

Thank you for your purchase of Sunroad SR204 Digital Fishing Barometer.
Design Strategy:
It has been known that barometric pressure is one of the most important factor to
influence fishing. When barometric pressure is higher, DO in the water will be
higher, Fish will be active and has a good appetite. On the contrary, fish will be
dispirited and has a bad appetite. If we know the trend of barometric pressure, it
can greatly increase the chance of successful fishing.
Functions:
◆ Smart tracking barometric pressure for 6 fishing places
◆ Smart remind suitable fishing time
◆ 24 hours barometric pressure trend chart
◆ Adopt super-accuracy barometric sensor from Swiss
◆ 3 days air pressure & temperature record
◆ Incorporates altimeter, barometer, temperature, weather forecast, countdown
timer, time & date functions etc.
◆ IPX 4 waterproof

1. Start
Installing the Battery
Rotate the back cover counter clockwise, gripping the unit with both hands,
using your index fingers and thumbs. Rotate until it stops, then gently pry off the
back cover with your fingers, exposing the battery compartment.
Note: you may have to squeeze on the outer ring (not the display) and apply
force in the clockwise and counterclockwise direction repeatedly (work back and
forth) to free the back cover after extended use, due to sweat and other debris.
Make sure your fingers are dry.
Insert the CR2032 battery (+ side up), and close the back
cover, insuring the gasket is firmly seated in the housing
trace, as shown in Figure 1.
To remove the battery, use a small pen or paperclip to
pry the battery out of the battery compartment.
To close the back cover, rotate the back cover clockwise
until the back cover is completely closed. The display
should be powered up in the time and date mode,
and ready for use.

Figure 5
● The altimeter is measured base on air pressure
which changes at any time. Altimeter will take this
change as a vertical movement. Normally there will
be around 20 m changes per day.
● So it’s neccessary to calibrate the altitude
after we know accuracy sea level altitude.
● Under altitude mode,long press SET 6
seconds to enter sea level altitude calibration,
please refer figure 6.
● Press MODE to switch digit. press SET setting

2.6 3days history record mode
●Under countdown timer mode, press MODE three seconds to enter 3days history
record mode “HISTORY” will display on screen.
● LCD display: weather forecast, highest (lowest) temperature, date, highest
(lowest) air pressure, pressure trend chart. Please refer figure 7.
● Press MODE to browse three days record in turn. Press SET to browse the
highest (lowest) temperature and highest (lowest) air pressure for each day.
PS: 3days history record is applying in very
cold weather condition such as winter or
autumn. if temperature difference in 3 days
is changing smaller and smaller, or if the
lowest temperature in 3 days is becoming
higher and higher, it should be fit for fishing
in future few days. Under 3days history
record mode, there is maximum and minimum
temperature for each day. It can help us to
know whether it fit for fishing or not.

2.7.1 Record initial air pressure for fishing place
Before tracking air pressure for fishing places, at first time when arriving the
fishing place (such as one lake, one river etc.), we should record an initial air
pressure. There are two methods to record initial air pressure as below,
1. Method , under time mode, long press MODE to collect current air pressure
(air pressure will flash on screen), press SET to enter fishing place mode, Press
MODE to select fishing place code. Press SET to save and exit.

2. 7.2 Pressure tracking for fishing place
● Step 1 Link fishing place
At fishing place, recording the initial air pressure base on method of item 2.6.1.
When coming back usual staying place (such as home or company), please long
press MODE to link fishing place under time mode.
● Step 2 Checking current air pressure of fishing place when we are staying at
usual place (such as home or company), steps are as below,
1. Under time mode, press SET two times to enter pressure tracking mode.
2. Press MODE to switch fishing place code.

2.8 Low Battery Indicator
Unit will be alarm every 5 seconds when battery is low power.
Remark: Please change battery when low power supply. Otherwise it can not
measure pressure accuracy or bring other problems.
2.9 How to know fishing time is coming?
1) Checking fish icon whether display on screen or not. If fishing icon is
displayed on screen, it fits for fishing.
2) Normally pressure range from 1002 hpa ( 29.58inHg ) to 1005.4hpa
(29.67inHg), it is suitable for fishing. Range from 1006hpa (29.70inHg) to
1028hpa(30.35inHg), it is perfect for fishing. For other pressure, it is not
suitable for fishing.
3) Checking pressure trend arrow, if the arrow is increasing, it will be great time
for fishing.
4) During Winter or Autumn, if temperature difference in 3 days is changing
smaller and smaller, or if the lowest temperature in 3 days is becoming higher
and higher, it should be fit for fishing in future few days.
Attentions：
1. This unit is not designed for professional or special purpose.
2. The unit is water proof but not for diving. Don’t submerse in water.
