Ice fishing

To set up for ice fishing with your Deeper, follow these steps:

Ensure the top cover is screwed on tightly, with the Water Proof marks perfectly aligned.
Drill your ice hole and drop in your Deeper Sonar.
Enable Ice Fishing Mode in the Deeper App (Settings > Sonar Mode > Ice Fishing Mode)
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.
Every ice hole you drop your Deeper in will be automatically marked on your map.

ⓘWhen you have dropped your Deeper sonar into an ice hole, keep your smartphone/tablet in a position where it can 
easily pick up the signal from your sonar. If your smartphone / tablet is in your pocket, the connection may be 
unstable. For accurately recording the location of each ice hole on your map, please ensure you smartphone is 
close to the ice hole when you first drop in your Deeper sonar. After this, you can move further away.

Sonar noise

Sonar noise appears as dots or vertical lines on your sonar display, and can be caused by the following conditions:

Very thick ice when ice fishing
Other sonar units / fish finders operating nearby
Murky water
Obstacles like edges of a boat or pier
Currents

Thick ice when ice fishing

Deeper Sonars will perform fine in thick ice up to roughly 1 m / 40in, although some sonar noise may occur.

This occurs because some of the sonar pulses are reflected from the edge of the ice hole, causing small 
inaccuracies on the top part of the sonar screen. 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. Furthermore, it is important to 
always use the Ice Fishing Mode on the Deeper App.

Other sonar units operating nearby

Deeper sonars transmit ultra sound in the form of a cone, like most other sonar units. If the sonar cones of different
