FAQs
What type of batteries do the KSi8 indicators use?
Each KSi8 indicator requires 2 x AAA batteries. These are not included with the set.
How many sensitivity levels are available?
The KSi8 alarms offer eight sensitivity levels. One bleep indicates the most sensitive setting, while six bleeps indicate the least sensitive.
How do I know if a fish is pulling the line out or dropping it back?
The latching LED on the alarm will indicate this. A forward run and a drop back will be displayed differently by the LED.
Can I use these alarms with any rod pod?
Yes, the KSi8 alarms have a standard 3/8" screw thread, making them compatible with most commercially available rod pods, buzz bars, and banksticks.
Are the alarms waterproof?
The alarms feature a high output speaker with a rain-hood design, indicating they are designed to withstand wet conditions. However, they should not be submerged in water. Always use the custom-fit covers for protection.
How do I reset the alarms or receiver?
There is no explicit reset function mentioned. If experiencing issues, re-pairing the alarms with the receiver and ensuring fresh batteries are installed is the recommended first step.
What is included in the Korum KSi8 2 Rod Remote Alarm Set?
The set includes two KSi8 bite alarms, a receiver, custom-fit covers for the alarms, and a superb EVA case for storage and transport.
Troubleshooting
Alarm not turning on
Ensure batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Press and hold the Power/V button for the required 3 seconds.
Receiver not getting alerts from alarms
Check that both the alarms and receiver are powered on. Re-pair the alarms with the receiver following the pairing procedure outlined in the setup section.
False alarms or no indication of bites
Adjust the sensitivity setting using the T/S button. Start with a lower sensitivity (more bleeps) and gradually increase it until optimal bite detection is achieved without false alarms.
Low battery warning light is on
Replace the AAA batteries in the affected indicator promptly to ensure continuous operation.
Difficulty pairing an alarm
Ensure you are following the pairing steps precisely, holding down the correct buttons on both the receiver and alarm. Check the Korum YouTube channel for a demonstration video.
