FAQs
Does this swinger work with all alarms?
It is designed for use with electronic bite alarms that feature a dedicated power-out socket.
Can I add an isotope to this swinger?
Yes, there is a dedicated slot on the indicator head specifically sized for a standard Betalight.
What is the purpose of the sliding collar weight?
The 80g weight allows you to adjust the tension on your line, which is crucial for managing slack or heavy winds.
Will this signal a drop-back bite?
Yes, the swinger is designed to mimic the Micron LED, ensuring that both forward runs and drop-backs are clearly indicated.
Is the line gate adjustable?
The swinger features a fixed line gate system designed to hold your line securely without damaging it.
Troubleshooting
The indicator is not illuminating
Ensure the jack plug is fully inserted into the alarm's power-out port and verify that your bite alarm is powered on.
Swinger is too sensitive in windy conditions
Slide the 80g collar weight toward the head of the indicator to increase line tension and stabilize the unit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Fox MK2 Swinger, attach the bracket to your buzzer bar underneath your bite alarm using the streamlined Micron attachment tabs. Connect the jack plug into the power-out socket located on the back of your electronic alarm. Once connected, the indicator will illuminate in sync with your alarm. For maintenance, periodically wipe the acrylic head with a soft, damp cloth to remove grit or debris that may accumulate during use. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can cloud the acrylic. Ensure the line gate is kept clean of dirt to prevent line snagging.
