FAQs
How many batteries do I need for the set?
Each of the three KSi8 alarms requires 2 x AAA batteries, for a total of 6 AAA batteries. Batteries are not included with the set.
How do I pair a new alarm if I purchase extras?
Turn on the receiver and the new alarm. Press and hold both buttons on the receiver, then turn on the bite indicator until the matching LED lights up. Repeat for each additional alarm.
What does the latching LED indicate?
The latching LED is designed to stay illuminated after a bite, showing whether it was a forward run (away from you) or a drop back (towards you).
Can I change the LED color?
The Korum KSi8 alarm features a fixed blue LED color and does not offer interchangeable or selectable LED colors.
Is the receiver waterproof?
While the alarms feature a rain-hood design for their speakers, the receiver should be protected from direct rain and submersion. Use caution in very wet conditions.
What is the range of the remote receiver?
The specific range is not detailed, but it is designed for typical angling scenarios where the receiver is used within a reasonable distance from the rods.
How do I adjust the sensitivity?
Sensitivity is adjusted using one of the eight available settings on the alarm itself. Refer to the indicator's markings or manual for specific adjustment controls.
Troubleshooting
Alarm not turning on
Ensure batteries are correctly installed with the correct polarity. Check if batteries need replacing. Try a different set of batteries.
Receiver not getting alerts from alarms
Re-pair the alarms to the receiver following the pairing instructions. Ensure the receiver is within range of the alarms. Check receiver battery.
False alerts or constant beeping
Reduce the sensitivity setting on the alarm. Check for environmental factors like wind, weed, or strong currents causing line movement. Ensure the rod is seated correctly in the U-rest.
Low battery warning is constantly active
Replace the batteries in the affected alarm immediately. Even new batteries can sometimes be faulty.
LEDs not latching correctly
Ensure the latching function is enabled in the alarm's settings (if applicable and distinct from standard operation). Check for any damage to the LED unit.
