The firmware update should take less than 10 minutes for most Android devices, however some devices will take as much as 20 minutes. From there, just follow instructions on the screen.

To update, just tap the icon and it should begin automatically. If there's a green icon next to Firmware Update it means that a firmware update is available. Tap 'Bluetooth Sync' and sync with your iBobber. Place the charged iBobber in a bowl of water, open the iBobber app and select 'Settings'.

If it says 'Update available', download and install the update. Go to the Google Play store and ensure you have the latest version of our app. Software updates require an internet connection, so make sure you have an active internet connection, either Wi-Fi or 3G/4G. (Once iBobber firmware is updated to 2.0, it will work with YOUR Android 9.0 version software.) After downloading the app to the other device, pair your iBobber as you normally would. If your device is already running Android 9.0 or higher, you will need to use another phone/device to update the firmware on your iBobber you may need to borrow someone else's device (older Android phone or any iPhone/iPad). If you can't find what you're looking for, leave us a message at 844-iBobber or email iBobber has most likely an older firmware, you'll need to update the iBobber firmware to version 2.0. If you have any issues, feel free to look at the manual, video tutorials or these FAQs for more help. No sonar device will likely work properly when reflecting from hard, smooth surfaces and without the minimum depth of 4ft. The readings in this type of setting will not be accurate.

Do not test in your fish tank, bath tub, pool or Koi pond.

For more detailed instructions on syncing, see your manual starting on page 11 or check out our video tutorials. Tap ' Search for iBobbers', then tap the box next to your iBobber.

In the app, go to the home screen at the bottom, press ' Settings', then go to ' Connect iBobber Fishfinder'.

If required, you can enter the code 0000 or 1111 (Android devices). Cancel out of any pop-up screen your device offers up.

Pair/Sync the iBobber through the iBobber app.

See page 4 of the manual for detailed instructions on charging your iBobber.

Fully charge your iBobber, and ideally have a good charge on your device (phone, tablet, etc.), ensuring that your Bluetooth is on.

If Google Play doesn't let you download, your device does not have the most up-to-date Bluetooth Smart 4.0+ capabilities (even if the box said it did).

Download the free app for your phone/tablet from iTunes (for iOS) or Google Play (for Android devices).
