Connecting and Stowing the Cables

CAUTION

Ensure that you connect the correct spade connector to the correct battery terminal. Damage to the battery or device, or bodily harm may occur if the device is improperly connected to the battery.

Identify the power cable and transducer cable and the

corresponding ports on the device. Align the divot on each connector to the keying on each

device port. Push the cable connectors into the correct port until the

connector is fully seated.

GUID-167DD16E-7EA7-4EA0-AE94-6C485787B031 v1July 2020

Slide the positive (red) spade connector onto the positive

(red) terminal on the battery. Slide the negative (black) spade connector onto the negative

(black) terminal on the battery. If necessary, wrap excess transducer cable around the hooks

on the side of the handle on the portable mount.

Charging the Battery

CAUTION

Ensure that you connect the correct spade connector to the correct battery terminal. Damage to the battery or device, or bodily harm may occur if the device is improperly connected to the battery.

You should always use the all-in-one cable to charge the battery.

Remove the battery terminal covers.

Connect the red and black spade connectors from the all-in-

one cable onto the corresponding battery terminals. Connect the all-in-one cable to the wall charger.

Connect the wall charger to the wall outlet.

The light on the wall charger is solid orange when the battery is charging. It takes about 10 to 12 hours in a room-temperature environment to fully charge a fully discharged battery. When the light is solid green, the battery is fully charged.

Battery Tips

• The length of time a fully charged battery will last before fully discharging varies based on many factors, such as device backlight brightness, the temperature, and the age of the battery.

• You can lower the backlight brightness level to help extend the battery life.

• The life expectancy of a sealed, lead-acid battery can be extended by frequently recharging and not completely discharging the battery.

• Sealed, lead-acid batteries slowly lose their charge while in storage. For best results, charge the battery prior to use.

• When used in cold temperatures, sealed, lead-acid batteries do not hold the charge as long as in warmer temperatures.

• Sealed, lead-acid batteries are completely recyclable.

Placing the Portable Mount in the Bag

After you have assembled the portable mount, you can place it in the bag, which makes it easier to carry and protects it from the elements. The bag contains loops that allow you to tether the bag as needed.

Slide two of the included hook and loop straps through the

narrow slots beside the battery compartment. Place the battery into the battery compartment under the

handle. Pull the straps under and around the bottom of the portable

mount, and wrap them tightly around the battery. Place the transducer into the recessed space in front of the

bail mount. Place the portable mount into the bag.

If necessary, wrap the excess power cable and transducer

cables around the handle. Close all of the zippers.

You can use the zipper at the back of the bag for quick access to charge the battery. You can store the wall charger in the interior zippered pocket.

Installing the Ice Fishing Transducer

Insert the transducer cable through the float.

Snap the float stop onto the transducer cable, on the top

of the float.

Adjust the float and float stop so the transducer is hanging

beneath the bottom edge of the ice. With the transducer cable connected to the back of the

device, drop the transducer into the water.
