Depth Alarm 

 
 
 
The ProAngler contains an audible alarm to warn you of shallow 
water depths. The alarm is adjustable from 2' to 99' of depth. 
When the alarm is enabled, an audible alarm is sounded if the 
water beneath the boat is equal to or less than the selected alarm 
depth. Upon activation, the alarm sounds continuously for about 5 
seconds, and then intermittently to remind you that you are still in 
shallow water. 
 
To enable Depth Alarm, press MENU repeatedly until the Depth 
Alarm menu is on-screen. The Factory Setting is "Off". Use the 
DOWN ARROW to highlight On. The menu will expand to show 
the current Depth Alarm setting. Use the UP or DOWN ARROW to 
set the desired depth for alarm activation. 
 
Once the menu times out, the Depth Alarm is enabled. To further 
adjust the setting, simply press the UP or DOWN ARROW. The 
menu appears briefly to indicate the setting. If the alarm is 
sounding and you want to disable it, use the MENU button to bring 
the Depth Alarm menu on-screen, and the UP ARROW to highlight 
"Off". 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Fish Alarm 
 
The Fish Alarm alerts you to the presence of fish, or other targets not 
connected to the bottom. The Fish Alarm has 3 different settings 
which correspond to the 3 different size fish symbols shown on-
screen. 
 
To enable Fish Alarm, press the MENU button repeatedly until the 
Fish Alarm menu appears on-screen. The menu shows two options, 
"Off" (Factory Setting) and "On". Use the DOWN ARROW to highlight 
"On" and the menu further expands to show the 3 alarm options. The 
selected setting will be "Large fish only". With this setting, the 
ProAngler alarms on only those targets which are represented by the 
large fish symbols (see Interpreting the On-Screen Information). 
Pressing the DOWN ARROW again highlights "large and medium 
fish" and pressing a third time highlights "large, medium, and small 
fish). With this setting, any fish symbol appearing on-screen activates 
the Fish Alarm. 
 
Once the Fish Alarm is enabled, the ProAngler emits an audible beep 
when the selected size fish symbol appears on-screen. The sound is slightly different for each of 
the three fish symbol sizes, so with practice, it is possible to distinguish the size of the detected 
fish without looking at the unit.
