FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW FAR CAN I SEE?

Naturally, the clearer the water, the farther you can see. As a general rule, the camera can see twice as far as the human eye in water - meaning that if you can see 3 feet down you will be able to see approximately 6 feet in front of the camera. But this is just a rule of thumb, and all bodies of water will vary. For anglers studying bottom structure, 2 feet of visibility is sufficient for underwater viewing.

WHEN DO I USE THE MULTI-COLOR LIGHTS?

The Multi-Color lights in your DT camera are designed for use in low-light situations. Turn the power switch to the "ON/LIGHT" position for maximum visibility in low light. The Multi-Color lights will provide a minimum of twice the visibility of traditional infrared lights in darkness.

HOW DO I STEER THE CAMERA?

For open-water viewing in the direction of travel use the Front-viewing Fin. Slowly troll (less than 2 mph) or drift along the structure you intend to view. With the Front-viewing Fin, the camera will face the boats direction of travel. The opposite holds true when using the Back-viewing Fin which positions the camera for viewing in the direction opposite from the boats travel. (The Back-viewing Fin, not included with the unit, is available from dealers or online at www.aquavu.com.)

CAN I SPLICE THE CAMERA CABLE TO OBTAIN MORE LENGTH?

No. Attempting to splice in additional cable violates the waterproof integrity of the camera and cable, voiding the warranty.

CAN I ATTACH MY CAMERA TO A DOWNRIGGER?

Yes, by using the Cam-Rigger accessory. You can attach your camera to your downrigger cable at any depth, allowing you to watch your lure - given adequate water clarity. “cam-rigger is available through dealers or at www.aquavu.com.

HOW FAST CAN I TROLL WITH MY CAMERA?

It depends on depth, and also on the length of cable you have out, which determines water resistance or "drag." The deeper you go, with more cable out, the more drag there will be, requiring slower travel for good viewing. Generally, for best viewing, we recommend going less than 2 miles per hour. Remember, the slower you go, the more detail you will see.
