[. . . ] Water temperature will be displayed automatically on the screen. You must manually program the Advanced RSS in order to turn the light on or off or to change the RSS channel setting to A or B. Default settings on new products are Light = OFF and Channel = A. Your finger should be moist, but not dripping, before you touch the Wet SwitchTM. You can achieve the correct dampness by dipping your finger in water, then dabbing your finger twice on a towel. A "touch" means touching both wet switch contacts at the same time with your moistened finger, using medium pressure. The time between touches needs to be one second or less. NOTE: Your finger must make contact with both of the wet switch pins simultaneously in order to tap them successfully. Operational Modes The RSSTM can be used in two distinct ways: Sonar Graph: The RSSTM can be used to create a sonar graph of the bottom. Cast the RSSTMinto the water beyond an area of interest, then reel in the RSSTM at a slow and steady rate. The digital display will provide precise information for bottom contour, depth and structure below the RSSTM. Fish and bait fish will be displayed when detected. See the procedures that follow for specific instructions on turning the light on or off or changing the channel from A to B. Start-Up in Simulator Mode To enter Simulator mode, press the POWER-MENU button to turn on the RF35, wait until you see the Start-up screen, then quickly press the RIGHT Cursor Button. Once you are in Simulator mode, the display will show the word Simulate, and then, after two seconds, will show simulated data. To exit Simulator mode, you must power down the RF35. Turning on the Advanced RSS Blinking Light To turn on the blinking nighttime fishing light: 1. Wet your finger and tap the wet switch on the Advanced RSS three times (the time between touches needs to be one second or less) to enter the Light programming mode. The temperature reading on the Control Head will change to show a temperature reading of 40°F (4°C) (blinking light OFF). Sensitivity Press the POWER-MENU button until SENSITIVITY appears. Select a higher number to show weaker sonar returns on the display, or a lower number to remove clutter from the display. Adjusting Sensitivity also affects how sonar returns are identified as Fish ID Symbols - more fish will be detected at the highest setting of 10, fewer at the lowest setting of 0. (1 - 10, Default = 5) RSS Programming Mode You may change the light setting or the channel type on the Advanced RSS using a programming mode that is accessed by touching the wet switch contacts on the bottom of the RSS. Maintenance Your SmartCast® is designed to provide years of troublefree operation with virtually no maintenance. Follow these simple procedures to ensure your SmartCast® continues to deliver top performance. WARNING!Never leave the RF35 SmartCast® product in a closed car or trunk - the extremely high temperatures generated in hot weather can damage the electronics. Temperature of 40 Means LED is OFF Temperature Setting of 45 Means LED is On 2. Nothing happens when I turn the Wrist Mounted Display on. Check the battery position and make sure that the battery door is properly closed. Also, make sure that you have removed the plastic strip that is in the battery compartment when it is new. If this doesn't help, replace the battery. After replacing the battery, if the unit still doesn't power up, remove the battery door again and re-install. HEREBY LIMITED IN DURATION TO SIX MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. [. . . ] · Check the buoyant balance between the RSSTM and your tackle; over 0. 2 ounce (5. 7 grams) will submerge the RSSTM, causing signal loss. · The RF35 may not obtain its maximum RF distance of 75 feet (22 meters) unless the water is smooth. Waves or chop may reduce the RF range significantly. NOTE: Retrieving the RSSTM too rapidly, or the repetitive rocking motion of rough water, can result in loss or distortion of the bottom detail on the display. For best bottom detail, perform a smooth and slow reel-in with constant speed and the rod tip up (holding the rod tip low or using a heavy line may cause the RSSTM to submerge and momentarily lose radio contact).
