Caution:
High Temperature
Warning
• Use only the specified voltage
(DC12~14.8V) from a battery
or the vessel’s onboard power
supply.
Using voltages other than
those specified may cause the
reel to heat up, damage
electrical components or burn
your hand.
• NEVER connect the reel to a
household power supply or a
battery charger.
Doing so may damage the
circuit boards and cause fire
and smoke.
• Stop using the reel
IMMEDIATELY if the power
supply connector or alligator
clips become abnormally hot.
AC100V
• If the circuit breaker in the reel is tripped repeatedly,
it is possible that the specifications of the reel are
not appropriate for the load from that particular
species of fish or rig.
If you continue to use the reel in such a situation,
the motor or display may overheat and be damaged.
Should that occur, please change to a higher
specification reel.
• Please do NOT use the reel with a vessel’s power
supply or a battery that does not provide the proper
voltage.
When the battery mark ( ---- or ----- ) lights up and
starts flashing, winding in under heavy load (high
current) may damage the electronic components in
the display and cause the lens to pop out.
• If the battery mark ( ---- or ----- ) lights up and starts
flashing, this means that battery voltage is dropping,
which will lead to a decrease in performance. It also
means that excessive load is being placed on the
motor and display, which may cause the reel to
malfunction. Stop using the reel immediately and
connect to a fully charged battery.
Please read these safety precautions before using the reel.

• A very weak electrical signal is produced
when using the reel. This may cause
medical equipment such as hearing aids
and pacemakers to malfunction,
causing the user to have palpitations or
become dizzy.
• Immediately remove the power cable if you
see moisture or water droplets on the inside
of the display. If you continue to use the
reel in such a situation it may malfunction,
break the tip of the rod and cause injury.
• Stop using the reel if you see a crack
develop in the display or the case. If water
penetrates into the case it can cause
shorting to occur, which can damage the
electronics and make it impossible to
control the motor.
• Stop using the reel IMMEDIATELY if a
burning smell or smoke is emitted
from the reel or the display, or if the
reel becomes abnormally hot. If you
continue to use the reel in this
situation then the reel may catch fire.
• Disconnect the power connector or
the alligator clips from the battery
immediately if the motor cannot be
stopped.
• Do NOT put your finger near the
level winding position when fishing
as it may get caught and cause
injury. If your finger does become
caught, turn off the power switch
on the reel immediately and
disassemble the reel.
• Do NOT put your finger in between the handle and the body as it may
get caught and cause injury.
Don’t get your
finger caught!

• Do NOT touch the rotating
spool as this can cause injury.
• If the surface of the coating on the reel comes off or
if the surface of the material comes off due to a
strong impact leaving a sharp edge, do NOT touch
that area as it may cause injury.
Caution
Caution:
Rotating Objects
• Do NOT touch the line when it
is being fed out or wound in as
the line can cut or even cut off
your finger.
Do not get your
fingers caught!
CautionCaution
• When using the reel, if the display goes off, do not
wind the line in manually using the handle as this
will mean there will be a difference between the
actual line length and the counter. If you do wind
the line in manually using the handle, after the
display comes back on and you start winding the
line in again using the motor the gunwale stop
position will be incorrect, which can cause the rig to
be wound in too much and even snap off the end of
the rod.
Therefore, it is important to investigate why the
display has gone off and fix the problem and to only
wind in the line after the display comes back on.
The display has
gone off.
Caution

• Please store and use the reel
out of the reach of children.
Caution
• Do NOT wrap the cable
around your body as
depending on how the fish is
pulled in it may cause you to
be thrown into the sea.
Caution
• The reel may malfunction if
it is dropped and the display
damaged due to the impact.
Please take care to avoid
any such impacts.
Caution
• Please secure the reel securely to the rod.
Do NOT use the reel if it is
cross-threaded or not properly secured
as it may come off during fishing and
cause injury.
• Please secure the reel securely to the rod.

Caution: Motor Malfunction
• The display is water-resistant to a depth of 10m.
However, if the reel is dropped or receives an impact of some kind
and the display is damaged or cracked, the motor may
malfunction if water is able to penetrate into the reel.
As injury may occur if the motor malfunctions and suddenly
retrieves the line, etc., if the display is cracked or damaged,
immediately remove the power cord, stop using the reel and
return it to the place of purchase. If there is no licensed Shimano
dealer nearby, please enquire as to the location of your nearest
service center.
• This reel operates on DC12~14.8V. Using a higher voltage or a
household power supply may damage the electronic circuits in
the display and make it impossible to control the motor.
As this could also result in smoke or fire, always check the
specification of the power supply before use.
• Check that the terminals are
not wet before attaching the
power cord to the reel.
If the terminals are wet this
can cause a short circuit,
which may result in fire or
smoke that can lead to injury.
• Please do NOT touch the metal
parts of the alligator clips or
the terminals of the battery or
power supply with wet hands
as there is the danger of
electric shock.
Caution Caution
Caution Caution
• If your rig is caught on the bottom, wind the line
around a rod holder or the gunwale and cut it rather
than trying to jerk it free.
Caution
• Do NOT try to dry the reel
using a hair dryer or some
other heating appliance after
carrying out maintenance as
this may deform the resin.

Handling Precautions
This reel can use 12V DC power supply with a nominal voltage of 12~14.8V
(lithium-ion batteries, etc.). Do NOT use the reel with any kind of unspecified
power supply (e.g. a vessel’s on-board power supply or a AC100 household power
supply). NEVER use a battery charger.
•When using a vessel’s on-board power supply, always check that the voltage is
DC12V. (Only use a vessel’s battery if it is 12V or if you use a 24V to 12V DC-DC
converter.) If the battery terminals are corroded, the voltage may not be stable,
which can cause the reel to malfunction.
•Only use a fully charged battery.
•If a battery is used for a long period of time it loses charging capacity. If that
occurs get a new battery.
•NEVER use an AC power supply as it will destroy the reel’s electronics.
•It may not be possible to properly attach the alligator clips to the terminals of
other batteries from other manufacturers and in some cases using batteries from
other manufacturers may cause damage to such batteries.
Always use a genuine Shimano power cord to connect your reel to the power
supply.
The power cord is a consumable. Depending on frequency of use, it may need to
be changed every 2~3 years.
Caution
Using a power cord other than a genuine Shimano item may cause the reel to
malfunction. Please do not treat the power cord in a rough manner, stand on it
or fold or bend it as this can cause it to break.
