  • Page 2 Charging Time: 2.5 hours How sonars work Before you start using your Deeper device, it is important to understand some basic points about how sonars work. 1. Sonars scan in cones.  This means when you mark a fish or feature, it is somewhere within the cone sent down by your sonar (not necessarily directly below your sonar).
  • Page 3 When your Deeper is in the water, the sonar will be scanning constantly. This means the display continually scrolls from right to left, even if the sonar itself isn’t moving. Read our page on how sonars work for a detailed explanation of these points, plus lots more useful information that will ensure you understand your device correctly.
  • Page 4 1. Open App Store or Google Play on your smartphone or tablet, and search for Fish Deeper. 2. Download and Install the Deeper App ⓘ The Deeper App works on a wide range of devices that use iOS or Android operating systems. To check if the Deeper App will work on your device please go to Compatibility...
  • Page 5 ‘Proof’ align perfectly.  ⓘ Never put your Deeper in water when it is connected to the charger cable. This could damage the device and any damage will not be covered by the warranty. Always ensure the top cover is firmly closed and the Water Proof marks are perfectly aligned before putting your Deeper Sonar in water.
  • Page 6 Mount. Please also note that it is only possible to connect to the Deeper using one smart device at a time. This means it will be impossible to connect to a Deeper Sonar if it is already connected to another phone or tablet. To switch off all current connections, simply take the Deeper out of the water, wipe it and wait for 5 minutes for the unit to turn off.
  • Page 7 When you connect your Deeper PRO or PRO+ to a power source, it automatically turns on. An orange light will flash in intervals to show the device is charging. The number of flashes indicates the status of the battery.

  • Page 12 Here’s why: - Reel in slowly: Reeling in too quickly can cause your Deeper to rock from side to side. If this happens, the sonar readings will be less reliable. For example, if the sonar is tilted to one side, the sonar signal will have to travel further before it hits the bottom.

  • Page 15 Bottom: When set to detailed imaging, your Deeper can help you determine whether the bottom is hard or soft. When the sonar pulses sent from your Deeper are reflected by the bottom, a hard bottom will return a stronger signal than a soft bottom.
  • Page 16 Logging in to My Deeper Your My Deeper account is the same for the Deeper App, our website and Lakebook. If you already have a My Deeper account, just login the first time you open the application. If you don’t have a My Deeper account yet, you will have to register.
  • Page 17 Bottom: When set to detailed imaging, your Deeper can help you determine whether the bottom is hard or soft. When the sonar pulses sent from your Deeper are reflected by the bottom, a hard bottom will return a stronger signal than a soft bottom. On your smartphone or tablet screen, the bottom may be displayed as: orange (hardest bottom), brown (medium) and black (softest).
  • Page 18 You will see that your maps and scans are grouped by location (all scans are grouped by the water body ).

  • Page 60 Onshore GPS Mode (PRO+ and CHIRP+ model) The Deeper Smart Sonar PRO+ and CHIRP+ has a GPS receiver that enables the device to map your fishing spots by creating bathymetric, bottom contour maps when fishing from the shore. Onshore GPS Mode operates in the same manner as Boat Mode, but instead of using your smartphones' GPS, Onshore GPS Mode uses the internal GPS receiver installed in the Deeper PRO+/CHIRP+.
  • Page 61 Ensure your Deeper Sonar is in the center of the ice hole so the sonar readings don’t catch the ice. There is no need to attach your Deeper Sonar to a line, but for convenience or extra peace of mind you can add an attachment bolt to the top attachment point and tie a line to it if you like.
  • Page 62 This will not affect the depth or structure reading function of the Deeper, and you can still easily mark fish and see your jig. If you wish to reduce this sonar noise, widen the ice holes you are fishing and position your Deeper directly in the center of the ice hole.
