amount of LED light required will depend on the clarity and amount of particulates in
the water. Darker, stained water will require more light while clear water will have
sufficient light penetration therefore decreasing the need for LED intensity.
Ice Fishing Application
The VS825c can be used to entertain the kids or as the perfect tool to enhance your
ice fishing experience. The VS825c can be used to search for that perfect weed line or
locate the crib or rock pile where fish will generally school To use as a search tool, drill
a series of holes through the ice in the location you’re interested in fishing. The
VS825c is small enough to hold in your arms while walking from hole to hole. Drop the
camera down each hole in search for the best spot or until you locate fish. Once
you’ve located the spot, drill a hole 3 or 4 feet away from the hole you’re actually going
to fish in. Set the VS825c on the ice and lower the camera down the second hole. To
assist in keeping the camera at the desired depth and direction, it is recommended
that a Camera Compass (purchased separately) be used. Once you send a lure or bait
down and locate it with the VS825c, you’re ready to fish. The depth and direction of the
VS825c can be changed at any time by lowering or raising the camera and rotating the
camera cable between your fingers. The VS825c also includes a down viewing fin that
snaps into the back of the Manta camera. Once the fin is attached, the camera cable
can be inserted through the cutout at the rear of the fin and locked into place. It is
recommended that you leave about six inches of excess cable, forming a loop, before
locking the cable into place. The camera can now be lowered into the hole to view
what is directly below you. This can be very helpful while fishing in shallow water.
Open Water Application
To locate fish, look for treasure or find that perfect spot, simply turn the camera power
ON and drop the Manta camera into the water. If you’re drifting with the wind or using
a trolling motor with the VS825c, attach the supplied trolling fin to the rear of the Manta
Camera for added stability. The internal weight is enough to keep the camera down
while the fin assists in keeping the Manta camera tracking straight through the water. If
the camera becomes hung up, back up from the direction you were traveling from and
slowly try to back the camera out of the snag. DO NOT pull directly upward with force
unless all other avenues have been pursued.
Battery Charging
Recharging the battery after every use is recommended. The charger that was
supplied with the VS825c is a 1-amp two-stage DC charger. To charge your system,
simply connect the positive (red) and negative (black) female connector from the
charger to the positive (red) and negative (black) male end at the battery. Once
connected, plug the charger into a 110 volt AC wall outlet. The LED indicator light on
