Such issues can appear when ultra-sound cone of the Deeper is not directed at the bottom of the lake, and scans
the side of the lake instead. For example, just after the Deeper hits the water after being cast, or when there are
heavy waves. Deeper App will display the correct depth as soon as unit stabilizes in the water, resulting in the
sonar cone to point directly downwards.
When casting with a fishing rod, make sure you are using the right attachment position for the line, to ensure
the stability of the device when it is reeled back. When you fish from the dock or bridge, screw your attachment
bolt to the middle hole. Use the bottom one, if you're fishing from the shore. It is important that your Deeper does
not tilt when trolled. When it tilts, it scans the water surface rather than the bottom, therefore causing connectivity
and readings issues. Reel in the device at a slow and steady pace.
If you have the Deeper attached to a vessel, it is important to check the positioning of the device, and ensure
that it is not positioned too close to the border of the vessel. If it is positioned too close, the ultra-sound emitted by
the Deeper will reflect from the border, causing incorrect readings to appear. The very bottom of the device should
point onto the bottom of the lake. For best quality of sonar readings, it is advised to use a Flexible Arm Mount.
Sensitivity in algae-heavy or murky waters
Adjusting the sensitivity setting (PRO/CHIRP models) can help to reduce sonar clutter and noises caused by murky
water and algae. Reduce the sensitivity slowly until the screen is free of clutter and small dots.
Too shallow or too deep error message
" message, please check whether the depth is sufficient for the
device to work. Deeper 3.0 / PRO / PRO+ models require at least 2 ft. (0.5 m.) of depth to operate when using the
Wide beam, and at least 4 ft. (1.3 m.) when using the Narrow beam.
Deeper Start requires at least 2 ft. (0.5 m.) in order to operate.
Deeper CHIRP+ requires 6 in (0.15 m.) of depth in order to operate, if you are using High CHIRP beam.
Furthermore, please keep the Deeper app updated to the latest version.
Attaching for shore fishing
To set up for shore fishing with your Deeper, follow these steps:
Ensure the top cover is screwed on tightly, with the Water Proof marks perfectly aligned. To screw the top
cover on, turn it anti-clockwise until it dips, then turn it clockwise until it is screwed on tightly.
Take an attachment bolt and securely tie it to your fishing line.
Now screw the attachment bolt firmly into the correct attachment point. If you are fishing from a dock or
pier, use the middle attachment point. If you are fishing from the shore, use the bottom attachment point.
