FAQs
What type of batteries does the KSi6 alarm use?
The Korum KSi6 Remote Bite Alarm requires 2 x AAA batteries, which are not included with the product.
How do I adjust the sensitivity?
To adjust sensitivity, long press the T/S button for 3 seconds. Each long press will cycle through the six sensitivity settings, indicated by the number of bleeps (one bleep is the most sensitive setting).
What is the purpose of the latching LED?
The latching LED provides a visual indication of bites. It lights up to show both forward runs (fish pulling the line away from you) and drop backs (fish pulling the line towards you).
Can I use this alarm without a receiver?
While the product is described as a 'Remote Bite Alarm,' its primary function is to communicate with a receiver. It is designed to be part of a system with a receiver for remote indication.
How do I know when the battery is low?
The KSi6 features a low battery warning system that will alert you when the batteries need replacing, preventing you from being caught without power during a session.
How do I ensure my rod is secure?
The alarm features a deep U-rest designed to hold your rod securely in place, minimizing the risk of it being dislodged during a bite.
What does the 'one bleep' sensitivity setting mean?
The 'one bleep' setting represents the highest sensitivity level, meaning the alarm will react to the slightest movement or vibration.
Troubleshooting
Alarm not turning on
Ensure 2 x AAA batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Check that the battery contacts are clean.
No sound when a bite occurs
Check that the volume is turned up. Ensure the alarm is properly paired with the receiver (if applicable) and the receiver is on and functional.
False alarms or not sensitive enough
Adjust the sensitivity setting using the T/S button (long press). Lower sensitivity for less sensitive, higher for more sensitive.
LED not lighting up
Verify battery levels. Check if the latching LED function is working correctly; it should indicate both forward and drop-back bites.
Alarm won't pair with receiver
Ensure both devices are powered on. Follow the pairing procedure precisely as described in the setup section or refer to the relevant video guide. Try re-inserting batteries in the alarm.
