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.
