• Casting: For shore or dock fishing, the T-POD can be cast into the water using a fishing rod. Its robust design allows for this method of deployment.
• Manual Deployment: Simply throw the T-POD into the desired water area from a stationary position.

Ensure the T-POD is in the water and floating correctly for optimal sonar performance.

3. Betjeningsvejledning

3.1 Powering On the SP100

Once the SP100 T-POD is in the water, it will automatically power on and begin transmitting a Wi-Fi signal. There is no manual power button on the device itself.

3.2 Tilslutning til din enhed

2. Locate and select the Wi-Fi network named "SonarPhone" (or similar, as indicated in the app or device packaging).
3. Once connected, open the SonarPhone application. The app should automatically detect the SP100 and begin displaying sonar data.

The effective Wi-Fi transmission range is up to 100 yards (approximately 91 meters). Maintain your mobile device within this range for a stable connection.

3.3 Interpreting Sonar Data

Refer to the SonarPhone application's in-app guide for detailed instructions on interpreting the sonar display, including identifying fish arches, bottom contours, and water depth. The device operates at a frequency of 125kHz, providing clear and accurate readings.

3.4 Movement and Tracking

When towed or retrieved, the T-POD's unique design allows it to track perfectly straight in the water. This ensures consistent sonar readings even when moving at speeds up to 5 miles per hour (approximately 8 km/h).

4. Vedligeholdelse
