location of the fish its depth the water
temperature bottom contour structure and
more deeper works both on iOS and
Android smartphones and tablets suitable
for oceans rivers or lakes salt water or
fresh deeper is extremely versatile and
can be used in many areas where regular
fish finders can’t be used from banks
and shorelines to kayaks and boats and
even for ice fishing inside the box
inside the deeper sonar retail box you’ll find
the deeper sonar ball Chargers wall
charger and duel car charger three
attachment bolts pouch for deeper a
microUSB cable and the user manual and
quick user guide how to use deeper
deeper is small lightweight and portable

the sonar syncs with many common
portable devices from smartphones to

the water it’ll float and stand sonar
readings to your phone and just reel it
in to get it back
flexible arm mounting for boats and
kayaks no special installation is
required just screw deeper to the
flexible arm mount and then attach to
your boat with a clamp ten seconds and
you’re ready to go ice fishing drill a
hole in the ice drop deeper into the
water and launch the application
technical specifications deeper is .
inches in diameter and weighs . ounces
a bluetooth connection sends a sonar
reading to the phone or tablet from up
to feet away so a cellular
connection or Internet data is not
required depths range is from feet to
feet it works in both saltwater and
freshwater at temperatures down to minus
point degrees Celsius or zero
degrees Fahrenheit the lithium polymer
battery is fully rechargeable in two
hours using a micro USB power adapter
and lasts for four hours under
continuous use it also features a dual
beam sonar with and degrees cone
how to connect deeper when you first get
it make sure the device is fully charged
this is indicated by the green light
turn on Bluetooth on your smartphone and
pair it with the deeper you can pair the
deeper with your smartphone only when

screen shows the maximum depth of the
water as well as the surface temperature
on the left-hand side of the screen
you’ll see the history tab and some
sonar settings
the history feature allows you to see
all the data for the last minutes the
settings allow you to choose between two
types of views in basic mode only the
depth bottom contour and fisheye D is
shown detail mode is for pro anglers so
you can see everything crystal-clear
this will tell you if the bottom is soft
or hard the darker shade of orange
indicates a softer bottom green colors
indicate vegetation while yellow
indicates the presence of fish full
details of this will be in the
instructions for easier detection of
fish you can add fish ID making it
easier to understand you’ll also hear a
sound notification when a fish ID
appears in detailed mode you can change
sensitivity with the slider here less
sensitivity will filter smaller
obstacles if you need to switch the
transducer frequency you can do it here
this will change the signal comb from
wide to narrow or vice versa
on the bottom left you can use three
buttons the reconnection button only
present in the Android version is used
if the Bluetooth connection was lost the
snooze button sets deeper into sleep
mode while deeper is in the water but is
not used this helps to save battery
power and the mute button turns on or
off sounds and alarms in the status note

tells you that deeper has disconnected
with Bluetooth too shallow or too deep
means that the depth is below three feet
or more than feet out of water shows
that deeper is out of water
charging tells you deeper is charging
battery empty indicates that deeper is
powered off because of an empty battery
updating deeper firmware is when deeper
is upgrading the software and not found

and lunar phases for chosen fishing
locations the fish activity level for
each day of the month is presented by

higher the fishing activity level the
higher the chances of a successful catch
on a gps-enabled mobile device the
calendar will open showing information
for your current position you can check
the activity levels of the fish for a
particular location by either using the
search field or choosing it from your
added fishing locations list you can

easier to store a dual beam sonar gives
you two different angles degrees and
degrees it’s a useful tool when
fishing in all kinds of different
locations depths water conditions etc
two beams combine great detail with a
wide coverage area a precise narrow beam
for high accuracy returns of fish
structure detail and bottom profile and
a wide beam for an ample search area
three metal inserts with an m screw for
attaching deeper to mounting accessories
ensures a variety of applications deeper
is rechargeable via the universal
microUSB port it’s prepared for ice
fishing deepers battery and electronic
components is covered by a special foam
protecting the batteries from
temperatures down to zero degrees
Fahrenheit deeper is designed and made
in Europe when we add some extra
features two new deepers we update the
firmware via bluetooth so old customers
can get all the new features with the
support update software etc from Europe
you can always be sure you get the best

user-friendly and is packed with free
extra features so when you use it you
can test it can check it if you like
before buying even without buying sonar
you can build your fishing diary check
your fishing location fish activity
levels weather forecasts and much more
for free what if deeper in the pool
sonar will not work in small and narrow
artificial water tanks like buckets or
fish aquariums you can test it in there
if you like but please note that
readings will be inadequate due to
signal reflections deeper shows fish
where there aren’t any this is only
possible if there’s inappropriate usage
of deeper for example when you attach
deeper too close to your boat and the
signal is reflected deeper miss
interprets this as a fish
when you cast deeper too close to a
bridge concrete banks or rocks when you
reel in deeper and it’s attached to the
wrong attachment bolt meaning the signal
does not point straight down water
thermal clients influence sonar readings
and sometimes this is misinterpreted as
a fish deeper turns on automatically
once it’s in the water it’s impossible
to pair it until it turns on the deeper
batteries should be charged before
fishing to check the battery level
please connect two metal pins on the
bottom of deeper with a wet finger or
connect to a microUSB cable and charger
the blinking LED shows you the battery
level there’s no switch off button
deeper powers off automatically after
five minutes out of the water lost
connection the Bluetooth signal range is
up to feet but this depends on the
smartphone model and weather conditions
sometimes you can lose the connection
because deeper is too far away their
stormy and wavy water deeper has been
submerged underwater different obstacles
like steel boats or concrete
reinforcements can block the signal
different smartphone models have
different Bluetooth strengths
can’t reconnect to reconnect the
Bluetooth device must be as close as
possible maximum feet deeper shows
the wrong depth it’s only possible with
inappropriate usage of deeper for
example when you reel in deeper it’s
attached to the wrong attachment bolt
and the signal does not point straight
down
you should not screw in all three
attachment bolts at the same time by
doing this you’ll make deeper unstable
and the transducer beam will not be
directed straight down at the bottom if
you use deeper in to shallow waters
example one foot the signal reflections
will be too strong if you are in need of
