Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, download and install the Rippton Fish Finder App on your iOS or Android device. Ensure the HydroBat is fully charged via the provided cable before your first use. To pair, activate the device by submerging it in water or connecting it to the charger, then follow the Bluetooth pairing prompts within the app.
For ongoing care, always rinse the HydroBat with fresh water after use in salt or brackish water to prevent mineral buildup. Ensure the charging port is completely dry before plugging in the cable to prevent corrosion. Store the device in a cool, dry place and perform periodic firmware updates through the app to ensure your sonar processing remains accurate.
