the ice hole;
Ensure your Deeper Sonar is positioned directly in the center of the ice hole;
Drill vertical ice holes, keep the ice hole clean from ice and snow;
If you are using CHIRP+, make sure you are using Narrow CHIRP beam (7°).
Battery
You should be aware that in temperatures below freezing, the battery of both your Deeper device and your
smartphone / tablet will drain faster. Here’s what you can do to manage this:
Deeper Battery
1. Ensure the battery is fully charged before any trip.
2. Remove your Deeper fish finder from the water when you are not using it, and keep it insulated (for
example, inside the neoprene pouch that comes with the Deeper, or inside your pocket).
3. Have a power bank on hand to charge your Deeper during your trip. Please remember that the Lithium ion
battery in your Deeper can only be charged in temperatures of 3°C / 37.4°F or higher (when you start
charging your Deeper, a blue LED will show if the conditions are too cold for charging). Charging in your car
or in a warmed ice shanty are good options.
4. If you are using Deeper CHIRP model, you can enable Low power mode to conserve battery.
Smartphone Battery
1. Ensure your smartphone / tablet is fully charged before your trip.
2. Use the Deeper Winter Smartphone Case to insulate your smartphone while using it, thus preserving its
battery life.
3. Have a power bank on hand to charge your smartphone during your trip.
Find the right spot
Judging if you are fishing at the right spot is straightforward. Just drop your Deeper into the ice hole. The depth will
be shown in the center of the circular flasher display and in the top right corner of the display screen. You can also
look for vegetation using the traditional sonar section of the display screen, where it will be shown in green. This
information about vegetation and depth can help you to decide if this is a good place to fish.
Drilling a grid of ice holes is also an effective approach. Once you have drilled your grid, you can drop your Deeper
into each hole to monitor how the depth changes and locate the best spot.
Finally, if you have been able to map an area in summer using your boat / kayak, or from the shore with your
Deeper PRO+ or CHIRP+, you can use the map to return to the best spots in hard water season.
Marking fish and tracking your lure
The ice fishing display on the Deeper App gives you a number of ways to locate fish, track your lure and see how
the fish respond to your actions. On the left-hand side is the Traditional Circular Flasher display, in the middle right-
hand side there is the Sonar Display, and on the far right-hand side there is the Vertical Flasher.
- Sonar display: This is the same as the Standard Display for scanning from the shore. The blue band shown at
the top is the ice, the orange band lower down is the bottom, and any objects shown in between are either fish or
you lure. You can adjust the sensitivity of this display in the left-hand menu and change the color palette to day or
night palettes (Settings > Sonar > Screen Color Mode).
- Traditional Circular Flasher: This display is exactly like a traditional ice flasher. In the center you will see the
depth and surface water temperature displayed. Around the side is the actual flasher. At the very top, you will see
a band of blue/grey color – this is the ice itself. Then follow the display clockwise until you see a brown/orange
