How to use Angler Alarms
How to use Angler Alarms
1) Connect for fishing (every time you start a session)
Shake the Sentri™ Squid Float and Strike Alarm together, 6 times, in one hand. Then WAIT 6 seconds.
- 1 beep = Float 1 connected and ready
- 2 beeps = Float 2 connected and ready
- 3 beeps = Float 3 connected and ready
2) Check a float during fishing (anytime while fishing)
Shake the Float on its own 6 times, near the Strike Alarm, and wait a few seconds. The Strike Alarm beeps back the float's assigned number, confirming it's still connected and being monitored.
3) Check battery level (before or between sessions)
Shake the Squid Float or Strike Alarm on its own, 10 - 12 times.
- A long beep = battery is good
- No beep = battery needs replacing
4) How to rig your float for fishing
We strongly recommend using a lighter line below the stop swivel (under the float) than above it. This gives you a better chance of recovering your Squid Float if the lure or bait gets snagged, or if a big one is getting away.
5) Pack up
You don't need to do anything. The Squid Float and Strike Alarm automatically turn off after about 6 hours of use, and a single battery is good for 30-40 fishing sessions.
6) Caring for your product
Avoid storing your Squid Float or Strike Alarm somewhere it bounces around a lot, like a moving boat or car - this can falsely trigger the shake-to-connect motion and waste battery when you're not using it.
Keep the Strike Alarm as dry as possible. It is not waterproof.
Dry the Float and Alarm before returning to the storage tube. Keep the stored product tube dry.
