Vexilar ProPack User Manual

4. Make sure that when you are done using your Pro Pack you
recharge the battery and disconnect it before long storage
periods. Remember to top it off every couple of months
when you're not using it.

5. Read the included owners manual for
complete instructions on how to oper­ate and interprete the flasher unit.

The Vexilar Pro Pack comes pre-assembled with everything you need
to start fishing. There are several things that you need to know before
you use the system for the first time.

1. The power connections are pre-wir ed, but the unit is shipped with the

battery disconnected so that it will not discharge while the package is
on the store shelf. You must connect it before you can use the Pr o Pack.
Simply push the connectors onto the proper terminals (red for posi­tive and black for negative). The battery is charged so the Battery Status
Indicator should read Full. It won't hurt to top it off, just so you know
that it is fully charged. See the other side of this sheet for complete
battery charging instructions.

2. Make sure you use the protective foam insert next to the battery to

store the Ice-Ducer. Simply push the transducer into the hole. This will
guard against vibration and impact damage that can cause the trans­ducer to become weak.

3. The short arm is provided in case you don’t want to use the Ice-Ducer's

float to support the transducer in the ice hole. The Transducer Support
Arm mounts by sliding one of the square ends into one of the verti­cal slots in the base of the Porta Case. It can be installed four different
ways, depending on which side of the unit you want to hang the trans­ducer from. Be sure to remove the float from the transducer cord by
pulling it through the slit in the side of the float. Hang the Ice­Ducer from the support arm by setting the stopper in the semi­circle at the end of the arm. Adjust your transducer depth
as desired.

Your Vexilar Pro Pack system comes with a high quality sealed lead acid (gel cell) battery. In order to
insure maximum running time for your flasher and maximum battery life, you need to follow some
simple charging rules. The included charger is specifically designed for this battery. The charger is also
protected internally from reverse hook up and short circuits. As long as you follow these instructions,

you can expect many hours of use and many years of service from the battery.

To Charge the Battery

1. Plug the charger into a standard 110 VAC wall outlet. Make sure the charger’s light is on.

2. Connect the red charger clip to the positive battery terminal and the black clip to the negative ter­minal. The charger’s light should turn off. This indicates that the battery is accepting a charge.

3. Let the battery charge until the charger’s light comes back on. Make sure you wait until it gets to
full brightness. If you disconnect the charger from the battery and the light gets brighter, the battery
is not fully charged. Charge times can range up to 48 hours for a completely dead battery. Do not
leave the charger connected to the battery for more than 48 hours after the light has come on to full
brightness.

Tip - For faster charges with automatic shutoff, see your dealer about the optional V-300 Charger.

4. Fully recharge the battery after each use. Be sure to char ge it soon after you ar e done using it. However,
do not charge it when it is cold. Bring the battery indoors and allow it to warm up for at least one
hour before connecting the charger.

5. For battery storage, make sure it is disconnected from the system. Charge it every month or two to
insure that it maintains a full charge during the storage period.

Monitoring the Battery

The Battery Status Indicator attached to the handle of your Pro Pack is designed to allow you to see the
level of charge in the battery. The POWER ON light indicates that the battery is connected properly. The
meaning of the other lights is shown in this figure.

Notice that the charger and the sta­tus indicator both have lights that
tell you when the battery is fully
charged. These lights may not
come on at the same time. Use the
charger ’s indicator light as your
primary “charge done” indicator.
If you should ever use a different charger to charge this battery, use the Battery
Status Indicator light as your “charge complete” indicator.

It is important to note that percent of charge shown will vary with the temperature and battery load.
The most accurate reading will be shown when the flasher is turned off and the battery is near room
temperature.
