VIEWING TIPS — WHILE FISHING

Your Aqua-Vu MAV is an invaluable fishing tool — a giant leap beyond mysterious flashes and unidenti- fied “fish” on a depthfinder. Aqua-Vu enables you to actually “see” the real picture! Fish and view simultaneously. The MAV is the first ever hands-free viewing system. Note these huge Aqua-Vu MAV advantages:

•View bottom structure and distinguishing features. Observe weedlines and weed characteristics, sand versus muck, big rocks versus small rocks, and transitions from one bottom type to another. That’s a big help in helping you identify fishing patterns.

•Sharpen your fishing techniques — watch your lure and see how approaching fish react to it. Learn what baits, lures, colors, and jigging actions attract fish and trigger strikes.

•Identify fish species and size. Viewing actual fish with an Aqua-Vu camera solves mysteries about what depthfinder signals really show. This real picture helps with choices about fishing technique. Knowing whether fish are present, or whether your target species is present aids in deciding to stay or to leave a spot.

•Observe the very same terrain you’re fishing. This helps you visualize exactly what’s going on below. It allows you to cover twice the water in half the time.

•Quickly determine fishing patterns based on a combination of information—on screen fish and struc- ture, coupled with water temperature, depth and more. The combination of all these factors reveals information that’s impossible to gain for a sonar unit alone.

•Attach a camcorder or digital recording device to your MAV (via the Video Out outlet), and record key segments of underwater action—fish reacting to and striking your bait, fish reacting to other fish, fish relating to certain types of cover, etc. Then review the footage later, making notes that will help you catch more fish in the future.

Caring for Your MAV

•Always keep camera cable away from propellers.

•Keep the monitor and camera away from heaters and other heat generating equipment.

•Avoid wedging camera in rocks, roots, submerged trees, or underwater debris. If camera becomes snagged, the spring-loaded PowerSpool will yield cable, to avoid breakdown. Free snagged camera as gently as possible. Never pull camera free using the boat’s engine.

•Never use MAV PowerSpool as a winch.

•When not in use, store monitor in a cool dry location. Avoid temperatures above 85oF and below

32oF. Avoid storing monitor in damp locations.

•Do not attempt to disassemble the MAV PowerSpool, Monitor, or Footpad. This will void the warranty. Contact Nature Vision directly for service questions, or refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section of this manual.

•Periodically clean monitor and viewscreen using a soft, clean cloth, warm water and a mild cleaning agent.
