Charging the iBobber (1 of 2)

Before you rst use the iBobber you'll need to charge it. It's very simple —
just align the "bumps" on the white side of the iBobber (image 1) with the
grooves in the charger cradle (image 2). Go to page 5.

Charging the iBobber (2 of 2)

Gently push down the bobber into the charger (image 3) and gently twist
the bobber clockwise so the "bumps" slide horizontally through the grooves.
Plug the charging cable into your computer USB port, or using a USB adapter
into a standard household outlet (U.S.) and charging will start, indicated by a
blue light along the circumference of the iBobber (image 4). The light will
remain on until fully charged, and then will ash indicating a full charge.
Note: When fully charged, the iBobber turns on when disconnected from the
charger and remains on for 10 minutes. This is for when you need to update
the rmware (page 25). Please check for rmware update through the App
when intially charging the iBobber, and update if necessary.

Syncing iBobber (1 of 3)

On the settings screen is where you sync your iOS device and the
iBobber. The iBobber turns on when it's in the water, so you'll want to be
prepared to sh when you sync it. Here's what you'll need to do when
you're ready to use the iBobber.

1) Attach the iBobber
to your shing line by
attaching your line
through the higher
of the two attach­ment points.
We suggest you use a
swivel and make sure
it's locked so the
iBobber doesn't
become separated
from the line. The
lower attachment
point is used to
attach a lure when
shing for small pan
sh.

2) Place the iBobber
into the water
nearby. The water
will activate the
iBobber, turning it
on. You're now
ready to sync.
