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
