Hey gurus.

I have new HDS Carbons and new Power Pole Blades. I downloaded the C Monster app and immediately updated the software on the hydraulic pump. The poles linked to my iPhone easily. I have also had no problem linking my Carbons to my iPhone.

My issue is I cannot get my Carbons to �see� my Poles in order to link up with them.

My Bluetooth setting is on, but shows no devices in the device list, other than the phone.

What am I doing wrong.

Lowrance tech support reads me the directions from the manual. (Duh....like I don�t have the page number and sequence memorized) Power Pole says it�s a Lowrance feature and offered no real help.

Way too complicated Steez, just load the thang up and go fishin. Geez.

Pretty much what I did.

Figured it out though. Sort of. Mostly. Ha.

Guess I'm gonna have to get me some Power Poles now to keep up with the MacQueens. Guess I can afford them with the money I saved from not buying $600 rods.

I just paired mine to both Carbons yesterday. (Bow and dash) Not sure why yours is not "visible" as mine showed up one at a time and after I paired the first, the second was recognized. I know this doesn't really answer your question as to how to fix yours, but wanted to share how mine worked. Did not have to press the button on the power-pole unit like when I paired to my stomp buttons. It did take about a full minute before the first was recognized. Relatively easy IF it is working correctly.

Well. I said �mostly�. Here�s what is happening.

I downloaded the C monster app. And the blades paired with the app easily. The app updated the pumps. I then turned to the Carbons. The Carbons would link to my phones wifi, and not the phones Bluetooth.

Well. Long story short. I now have the Poles linked to my console Carbon. The �P� icon is tiny along the left side of the screen. The console unit works the Poles, as long as I have the C monster app closed. It also only works if I have the Carbon NOT linked to my phones WiFi. The bow Carbon shows the �P� along it�s left edge of the screen too, but it doesn�t connect to the Poles. It shows the up and down arrows in bright white, but the auto up and auto down, as well as the settings �gear� icon are shaded. It does nothing. The other annoying thing is when I open the Power Pole control by swiping from left to right, or touching the �P� icon, the �menu� tab disappears, but leaves a blank panel along the right edge of the screen. When I close the Pole controls, I�m left with blank panels on each side! Haha. I have to exit out of the current page, StructureScan, Sonar, Map, whatever....then reopen the page to resume normal operation and screen size.

Kinda glitchy. But still easy to use. I guess.

Also kinda sucks, as the only way to operate the poles from the bow is with the lanyard remote. I have the regular dash control on the helm, as well as the Carbon control at the console. I guess I should just buy the foot stompers for $119. Every thing nowadays has �extra cost options�, when they cost too much from the get go.

I guess I should have just went with the cheap sportsman series. They have the same basic OS and I could have saved enough money to put stomp pads fore, aft, and next to my hot foot. Lol.

I think the Blades are supposed to be stronger though.

back up your wpts on a clean sd card. Then make sure you have the current software to your unit, then I would do a hard rest and then try reconnect to your Pwr poles.
