Hi, looking for some advice on a penn 875lc - trying to program it (line counter) but keep on getting E (error coming up)
I think I am doing it correctly!?
1. I switch the reel on, comes up with 701, then says 888 turning the reel changes the numbers up and down.
2. I hold down the red button for a few seconds and 3 lines appear.
3 I fit the bogey wheel, I then start to load line on the reel, the dashes start to move exactly after the 3 revolutions of the handle it come up with E - I brought another reel exactly and that does the exact same thing.. if I wind the line on backwards it seems to count fine but when I press the red button it comes up E again.
Has anyone had the same problem? I am wondering if the bogey wheel is faulty? does anyone know how the bogey wheel works? does it send a signal to the process via a magnet?
Any help greatly appreciated
I thought the counter only worked correctly when line is going out.
I thought the same, that it only count when it's going out.

I Wasnt following the instructions correctly - if anyone else gets an error when loading the line on the reel - make sure you're following the instructions exactly ::)
You have to follow the directions EXACTLY as in the manual. If you need a manual a have lots of them.
