INSTRUCTIONS

Assemble the Tip-Up

Install 2x AA Batteries using a small #1 phillips head screwdriver, remove the two screws from battery door.
Bluetooth = Lithium only
original = Alkaline or Lithium
Ensure the line clips are securely attached, install bobber stop on the line, add line clip, then tie on your lure/jig seed videos for more information in the video section

Power Button

Hold for one beep to power the unit on. The indicator lights turn on in 360 mode.
From the off position, hold button for one beep to power on, and continue holding for 2 beeps for lights in 180 mode. Check state and local laws for visibility regulations.
Hold button for 3 beeps, the unit will powers down.
To reset the Indicator lights after the unit has detected rotation of the spool, one quick press of the power button will reset the unit.

Adjust the Line Tension

Use the fully adjustable tension clip to set the sensitivity according to your bait.
For light baits like Wax worms or Euro larvae, set the tension lightly. Back bolt away from bottom of unit
For heavier baits like Sucker minnows, adjust accordingly. Screw down bolt on backside of tip up closer to the bottom of unit
Use the reference marks for quick, repeatable adjustments when switching baits.

Spool Setup

Swap out the spool easily in seconds by the push of a button. Pre-rig multiple spools with different jigs or lures to save time while fishing.

Using the LED Light Indicators

Green LED Tower: Notifies you when a fish takes the bait.
Blue LED Spool Rotation Indicator: Flashes for each spool revolution, showing the movement of the fish.
Line Counter: White LEDs indicate how long the fish has had the bait (5, 20, and 40 revolutions).

360°/180° Light Modes

Default: 360° LED lighting (full visibility front and back of tip up).
To switch to 180° (half the lights on), hold the power button for 3 seconds. This mode provides privacy, reducing light exposure to others around the lake. (check your state laws, some states require 360 degree view)

Flashlight Mode

Press and hold the flashlight button for 2 seconds to activate white lights in 180° mode.
Hold for another 2 seconds to switch to 360° mode for broader visibility, useful when packing up at night.

Hanging Storage

Utilize the ¼” hole at the top for hanging, adding a flag for better visibility, or securing it with a zip tie.
