be illuminated. This indicates that the high intensity infrared LED

lights are ON. By pressing the LIGHT key a second time, the same

LED light next to the LIGHT key will be illuminated green to indicate

the super high intensity blue LED lights are ON. To turn the lighting

system OFF, press the light button a third time. When the lights

are first turned ON, they will be at the lowest level of intensity. To

increase the intensity of either lighting option while the lights are

ON, press the UP arrow key on the right side of the digital keypad.

There are (4) levels of lighting intensity. To decrease the intensity of

the lights while the lights are ON, press the down key on the right

side of the digital keypad (note: when the LED lights are first turned

on, they will always be set at the lowest level of light intensity). The

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 VS820 can be used to entertain the kids or as the perfect tool

to enhance your ice fishing experience. The VS820 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

VS820 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

VS820 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 or Ice Arm

(purchased

separately) be used. Once you send a lure or bait down and locate

it with the VS820, you’re ready to fish. The depth and direction of the

VS820 can be changed at any time by lowering or raising the camera

and rotating the camera cable between your fingers. The VS820 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.
