2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using the Pawfly Underwater Fishing Light. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

  • Battery Safety: Use only compatible Dewalt 20V batteries. Ensure batteries are charged according to manufacturer guidelines. Do not expose batteries to extreme temperatures or water.
  • Immersion Requirement: Always fully immerse the light in water before activating it. Operating the light in the air for extended periods can cause overheating and damage to the LEDs.
  • Cable Integrity: Regularly inspect the power cable for any signs of damage, cuts, or fraying. Do not use the light if the cable is compromised.
  • Waterproof Seal: The light is IP68 rated for water immersion. Do not attempt to open or modify the sealed light stick, as this will compromise its waterproof integrity.
  • Low-Voltage Protection: The light features an automatic shutdown mechanism when battery voltage drops to a critically low level. This protects the battery from over-discharge. Recharge your battery promptly when this occurs.
  • Children and Pets: Keep the device out of reach of children and pets.

4. Setup

Follow these steps to prepare your Pawfly Underwater Fishing Light for use:

  1. Charge Battery: Ensure your Dewalt 20V battery (e.g., DCB203, DCB204, DCB205) is fully charged according to the battery manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Attach Battery: Slide the charged Dewalt 20V battery onto the battery adapter located at the end of the fishing light's power cable. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
  3. Inspect Light and Cable: Before deployment, visually inspect the light stick and the entire length of the 16.4-foot (5-meter) cable for any visible damage or wear.
  4. Prepare Deployment: Determine your desired fishing depth. The light can be lowered from a boat, dock, or through an ice fishing hole.

5. Operation

Operating the Pawfly Underwater Fishing Light is straightforward:

  1. Submerge the Light: Carefully lower the fishing light into the water to your desired depth. Ensure the entire light stick is fully submerged before proceeding to the next step.
  2. Activate the Light: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the battery adapter. Flip the switch to the "ON" position to activate the green LED light.
  3. Attract Fish: The 1,300 lumen green light will begin to attract baitfish and other marine life. Position the light strategically to maximize attraction for your target species.
  4. Monitor Battery: The integrated low-voltage protection will automatically shut off the light if the battery voltage drops too low. This indicates it's time to recharge your Dewalt 20V battery.
  5. Deactivate and Retrieve: When finished, flip the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position. Carefully retrieve the light from the water.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Pawfly Underwater Fishing Light:

  • Cleaning: After each use, especially in saltwater, rinse the entire light stick and cable thoroughly with fresh water. This helps prevent salt buildup and corrosion.
  • Drying: Allow the light to air dry completely before storing.
  • Storage: Store the light in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil the cable neatly to prevent kinks or damage.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the light for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage to the housing or cable. Ensure the battery adapter connection remains clean and free of debris.
  • Battery Care: Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for Dewalt 20V battery storage and charging. Remove the battery from the light when not in use for extended periods.
