The display is not waterproof. Do NOT submerge or spray 

the fish finder screen with water. 

 

5. How long is the battery duration (fully charged)?   

It  depends  on  the  backlight  level  you  set.  It  usually  lasts 

about  4-6  hours  in  continuous  use.  Reduce  the  backlight 

level to extend battery life. 

 

6.  There  are  fish  in  water,  but  the  fish  finder  shows 

nothing. 

The fish finder can only detect fish in detectable area (105 

degrees beam angle under the sensor). And the fish finder 

will not detect any objects that  are closer than 2 feet from 
the sensor.    It is the blind area of sonar. If you’re fishing in 
water  that  is  less  than  3  feet  deep,  it  is  recommended  to 

discontinue  use  of  the  fish  finder.  Besides  that,  the  fish 

finder might not be able to distinguish fish from weeds if fish 

swimming too close to the water bottom. 

 

7. False fish indications 

Tall  weed  may  cause  false  fish  indications.  If  weeds  grow 

taller  than  50%  of  the  total  water  depth,  the  sonar  will 

mistake it for fish. Trash & debris may also result in false fish 

indications.  Adjusting  the  sensitivity  setting  to  the  lowest
