How does the portable fish finder work?
The fish finder uses sonar technology to send sound waves underwater. When these waves hit an object (like a fish or the bottom surface), they bounce back to the sensor, providing real-time depth, fish location, and underwater contour readings on the LCD display.
What is the maximum depth it can detect?
The device can detect depths ranging from 0.6 meters (2 feet) to 36 meters (120 feet), making it ideal for various fishing conditions.
How far can the wireless transducer operate?
The wireless sensor has an impressive operation range of 100 meters (328 feet), allowing you to scan a wide area without the hassle of long cables.
What type of battery does the fish finder use?
The fish finder operates on 4 AAA batteries (not included), while the power source is a No. 7 battery.
Can I use this fish finder in both freshwater and saltwater?
Yes! The fish finder works well in both freshwater and saltwater environments, including lakes, rivers, oceans, and even ice fishing conditions.
Is the fish finder suitable for night fishing?
Yes, the LCD display ensures clear visibility, even in low-light conditions, making it a great tool for night fishing.
What is the sonar beam angle?
The sonar sensor has a 90-degree beam angle at 125Khz, providing a wide scanning range for better fish detection.
Does the fish finder have depth alerts?
Yes, it features audible depth alerts that notify you when fish or structures are detected at certain depths (from 2 feet to 120 feet).
Can this fish finder be used for ice fishing?
Absolutely! The device operates efficiently in temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F), making it perfect for ice fishing.
Is the device waterproof?
While the wireless transducer is waterproof, the main LCD display unit is not waterproof. It is recommended to keep the display unit dry and protected from water exposure.
Can I use the fish finder on a kayak or small boat?
Yes! The compact and lightweight design makes it perfect for use on kayaks, small boats, and even for shore fishing.
Does it require any special installation?
No installation is required. Simply cast the wireless transducer into the water, and it will instantly start scanning the underwater environment.
