Usage

Deeper sonar can be casted to any spot in the water. While floating on the water surface it connects to a smart device and transmits information which is used for finding fish location, getting depth information, exploring bottom structure, contour and vegetation, knowing temperature.

Operation

Operation of Deeper is based on echolocation and wireless Bluetooth technologies. Echolocation is a method for detecting and locating objects submerged in water. When a sound signal is produced, the time it takes for the signal to reach an object and for its echo to return is issued to calculate the distance between the sonar and the object. Bluetooth - a wireless technology for exchanging data, makes Deeper a wireless device. No cellular data is required. It allows transference of the sonar readings to a smartphone or tablet from up to 150 ft/50 meters.

Technical specifications

Deeper sonar measures 2.6 inches in diameter and weighs 3.5 ounces. It features several different attachment points, so it can be casted from varying heights and positions. The unit has a dual-frequency transducer (90/290 kHz). It reads depths to 130 feet and operates within 160 feet of its paired device.

App

Deeper app is compatible with iOS 5.0 and Android 2.3 to the latest iOS and Android devices. Features:

  • Real time mapping with data history (offline maps). Smart Fishfinder enables creation of personal bathymetric maps and data storage. When operating in boat mode, fishfinder connects to GPS and creates custom bathymetric maps on connected device. Later these maps can be accessed through data history.
  • Ice fishing with regular and flasher modes.
  • Depth, temperature, bottom structure and contour, fish location.
  • Solunar calendar, fishing Log, camera, sharing availability.
  • Weather forecast.
  • 20 languages.
