FF518 Fish Finder Wireless Mode Operations Manual

Thank you for choosing

FF518 fish finder!

1.PRODUCT OVERVIEW

This amazing product is especiall y design ed for ama teur and profession al fisher men alike , to find ou t the loc ation of fi sh and
depth of water.
The unit can be used in ocean, river or lake and is fantastic for detecting schools of fish in any particular area.
Using amazing and innovative technology, this portable fish finder is the ideal tool to bring the fish to you!

2. HOW SONAR WORKS

Sonar technology is based on sound waves. The system uses sonar to locate and define structure, bottom contour and
composition, as well depth directly below the transducer.
The transducer sends a sound wave signal and determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the
sound wave and when the sound w av e is refle cted of f an obj ec t; it th en use s the re flecte d sig nal to inter pr et loca tion, size, and
composition of an object.

3.USER MODE

The FF518 is a combo unit that allows you to choose either Wireless fish finder user mode or Clock user mode.

Wireless Mode:

This user mode allows you to operate the FF518 with the wireless sonar sensor. When signal

indicator is displayed on the screen, the unit is in Wireless mode.

Clock Mode:

wireless mode or clock watch mode.

This FF518 could use as a cloc k watc h.When th e fish f inder o n,y ou could press ri ght-k ey to cho ose fi sh find er

4.Using the Wireless sonar sensor

The Wireless user mode allows you to use the Wireless Sonar Sensor. Simply attach the wireless sensor to the end of your
fishing line and cast it into the w ater as y ou w ould a no rmal flo at or l ure , then pow er on t he FF 518 and you are ready to fish. In
Wireless mode, your FF518 uses sonar technology to send sound waves from the wireless sonar sensor,the returned
“echoes” are transmitted with wireless technology to the display unit and displayed on the LCD. New information appears on
the right . As thi s i nformati on mov es to t he left a very accurate picture of t he unde rw ater w orld is d isplay ed, inclu ding th e depth
of underwater objects such as the bottom, fish, and structures.

NOTE:

sonar sensor, we recommend using your wireless sensor in water deeper than 1 foot only.

When casting the Wireless Sonar Sensor into water, shock from abrupt contact with rocks will dama ge your Wireless

5.Attaching the Wireless sonar sensor

The line coming from your reel can be tied off to the front hole in the Wireless Sonar Sensor. If you wish to use the Wireless

Sonar Sensor as a convention al flo at, use the secon d ho le to at t ach y ou r hoo k usi ng a li ghter w eight li ne. A snag w ill bre ak the
lighter line if you have to break free. Slip line techniques are not recommended because of the higher risk of losing the
Wireless Sonar Sensor. If you do use the slip line method, use a lighter weight line after the lower stop, enabling retrieval of
the Wireless Sonar Sensor if the lower line with hook breaks away.

ant enna t ow er

Handle the Wireless Sonar Sensor by the antenna tower when it has been in water.
Use a heavy test line, standard knots, and tackle such as a swivel.
The second leader hole is for using the Wireless Sonar Sensor as a float. Connect a lighter weight hook line to this hole. Do
not over-weight the hook line as this will submerge the Wireless Sonar Sensor, causing signal loss.

NOTE : You will increase the possibility of br eakin g your l ine if y ou us e ligh t test p ound l in e on y our reel . The Wirele ss Sona r

Sensor is positively buoyant . The maximum amount of weight for any attachment to the Wireless Sonar Sensor is
approximately 5.67 grams, and includes the combined weight of any hook, line, weight, swivel/snap swivel and bait that is
attached to the Wireless Sonar Sensor.

NOTE :Store the Wireless Sonar Sensor in a dry, non-metallic container, such as a tackle box, in a separate compartment,

and isolated from any metallic devices.

NOTE :

discomfort and may result in personal injury in the form of tissue damage. Handle the Wireless Sonar Sensor only by the
antenna tower when it has been in the water.

The bottom of the Wireless Sonar Sensor should not be handled during sonar operation, as this may cause physical

NOTE : The Wireless Sonar Sen sor i s not in tend ed f or use by children y ounger t han 6 y ears old w ithout adult s uperv isio n a s

the Wireless Sonar Sensor may represent a choking hazard t o small children.

6.How to replace the CR-2032 battery

The Wireless Sonar Sensor has a CR-2032 Lithium battery .It is can be replaced.Pls check the attach pictures to change the
battery.
Remove the battery door of the Wireless Sonar Sensor and press the lock-block of the battery holder,the battery will flip
automatically.

Note:Make sure that the O-ring in the battery compartment is present,positioned correctly in the grooves,and free of debris

before reinstalling the battery door.The Wireless Sonar Sensor has contacts that perceive when the device is immersed in the
water. These contact turn on the Sonar Sensor/Receiver and begin transmitting the sonar information via RF to the display.
The Wireless Sonar Sensor automatically stops using power a few seconds after being pulled out of the water.

NOTE :

and shorten its usable life. Store the Wireless Sonar Sensor in a dry area when not in use to conserve power. Never place the
Wireless Sonar Sensor in a wet area of a boat or on a metal surface that could accidentally power it on.

Do not place the Wireless S onar S ens or in a w et area w hen no t in u se a s thi s w ill turn on t he Wireless Sonar Sensor

NOTE :

If the Wireless Sonar Sensor was used in salt water, rinse it with fresh water before storing it.

7.Display View

The FF518 displays underwater information in an easy-to-understand format. The top of the display corresponds to the water
surface at the transducer, and the bottom of th e di splay corr es pond s to the D epth Ra nge automat ic ally selec te d for the curre nt
water depth. The Bottom Contour varies as the depth under the boat ch ang es . D igital readouts provide pre cis e in formation for
depth, fish and water temperature.

As the boat moves, terrain and bottom composition variations are displayed. Fish, baitfish and the rmoclines (underwater
temperature changes) are displayed when detected. Underwater conditions vary greatly, so some experience and
interpretation is needed to realize all the benefits of the FF518 use the picture as a guide to the most common conditions and
practice using the FF518 over known bottom types.

11.1. User Mode-----

The FF518 is a combo unit that allows you to choose either Wireless fish finder user mode or Clock user mode.

11.2. Language—

Press the POWER-MENU key until LANGUAGE appears.The FF518 fish finder has two language choice(English,Chinese)

11.3. Sensitivity—

Press the POWER-MENU key until SENSITIVITY appears. Sensitivity controls how much detail is shown on the display.
Increasing the sensitivity shows more sonar returns from small baitfish and suspended debris in the water; however, the
display may become too cluttered. When operating in very clear water or greater depths, increased sensitivity shows weaker
returns that may be of interest. Decreasing the sensitivity eliminates the clutter from the display that is sometimes present in
murky or muddy water. If Sensitivity is adjusted too low, the display may not show many sonar returns that could be fish. (1
–9).

11.4. Depth Range---

Press the POWER-MENU key until DEPTH RANGE appears. Automatic is the default setting. When in automatic, the lower
range will be adjusted by the unit to follow the bottom. (Auto, 15 to 135 feet)

NOTE: In manual operation, if the cu rrent depth is greater than the depth range settings, the bottom will not be visible on the

display. Select AUTO to return to automatic operation.

11.5. ZOOM---

Press the POWER-MENU key until ZOOM appears. Select Auto to magnify the area around the bottom in order to reveal fish
