FAQ
How far can I see?
Naturally, the clearer the water, the farther you can see. As a general rule, the
camera has twice the range of what is visible. If you can see 3 feet down, you
will be able to see approximately 6 feet in front of the camera. However, differ-
ent bodies of water will vary. For anglers studying bottom structure, 2 feet of vis-
ibility is sufficient for underwater viewing.
When do I use the Multi-Color lights?
The Multi-Color lights in your AUW-525C camera are designed for use in low-
light situations. Turn the power switch to the "ON/LIGHT" position for maximum
visibility in low light. The Multi-Color lights will provide a minimum of twice the
visibility of traditional infrared lights.
How do I steer the camera?
For viewing in the direction of travel use the Front-viewing Fin. Slowly troll (less
than 2 Knots) or drift along the structure you intend to view. With the Front-view-
ing Fin, the camera will face the boat’s direction of travel. The opposite holds
true when using the Back-viewing Fin, which positions the camera for viewing in
the direction opposite from the boat’s travel. (The Back-viewing Fin (F-200), not
included with the unit, is available from dealers or online at www.atlantiscam-
era.com).
Is there a more stable way to move the camera?
Yes, there is a pole adapter available for the Atlantis™ camera. Connect the
pole on to the adapter. Then place the camera into the rack and tighten. Adjust
the pole angle accordingly and place into the water. (The telescopic pole
adapter (AP-20), not included with the unit, is available from dealers or online at
www.atlantiscamera.com).
Can I splice the camera cable to obtain more length?
No. Attempting to splice in additional cable violates the waterproof integrity of
the camera and cable, voiding the warranty.
Can I attach my camera to a downrigger?
Yes, by using the reverse fin accessory. You can attach your camera to your
down rigger cable at any depth, allowing you to watch your lure given adequate
water clarity.
Can I use my camera in saltwater?
Yes. All Atlantis underwater cameras are saltwater-rated, using stainless steel
hardware and materials that are impervious to corrosion.
How fast can I troll with my camera?
It depends on depth and on the length of cable you have out, which determines
water resistance or “drag." The deeper you go, with more cable out, the more
