Receiver for Blue Tipz Transmitters
Description
BlueTipz Receiver: Hear Strike Alerts & Extend Your Tip Up Alarm Range
The BlueTipz Receiver, also commonly searched as the Blue Tipz Receiver, adds an audible and visual alert to your BlueTipz ice fishing system while acting as a wireless relay between compatible BlueTipz transmitters and your smartphone.
When a Blue Tipz tip up alarm transmitter detects a strike, the Receiver can blink and beep so you have another way to know a tip-up has triggered. It is especially useful inside a permanent fish house, wheelhouse, or other setup where you do not want to rely only on your phone.
The Receiver can also be positioned between your tip up alarms and phone to help extend the usable Bluetooth range of the system. The manufacturer lists approximately 600 feet from the Receiver to a compatible BlueTipz transmitter and another 600 feet from the Receiver toward the phone under favorable conditions.
One Receiver can listen for multiple BlueTipz transmitters, making it a simple central alert point for anglers running several Bluetooth-enabled fishing setups.
BlueTipz is manufactured by Deep Freeze Fishing. Anglers searching for Deep Freeze Blue Tipz or Blue Tipz equipment are referring to the same BlueTipz wireless ice fishing alert system.
Add a Central Alert Point to Your BlueTipz Tip Up Alarms
Use the Blue Tipz Receiver Without Watching Your Phone
A smartphone is useful for BlueTipz notifications, Fish Log information, transmitter programming, and advanced settings, but the Receiver provides another way to monitor your tip up alarms.
When the Receiver hears an activated BlueTipz transmitter, it can provide its own audible beep and orange LED indication. This makes it useful in a fish house where your phone may be charging, silenced, buried in winter clothing, or simply not the way you want to monitor strikes.
The Receiver can also remain part of a phone-based setup. Position it between the transmitter and smartphone and it can relay the Bluetooth strike signal toward your phone.
Audible Tip Up Alarm
The built-in speaker provides a local audible indication when the Receiver hears a BlueTipz strike signal.
Orange LED
A visual LED alert provides another indication when a transmitter has activated.
Receiver Range
The current manufacturer specification lists approximately 600 feet to a compatible transmitter and 600 feet back toward a phone.
Multiple Blue Tipz Transmitters
One Blue Tipz Receiver can monitor signals from multiple compatible BlueTipz transmitters.

How It Works
How the Blue Tipz Receiver Works
- A BlueTipz transmitter detects a strike.
The Bluetooth tip up alarm activates when the attached fishing device enters its programmed trigger zone. - The transmitter broadcasts its Bluetooth signal.
No cellular network is required for the BlueTipz devices to communicate. - The Receiver listens for the signal.
One Blue Tipz Receiver can listen for multiple compatible BlueTipz transmitters. - The Receiver blinks and beeps.
This provides a local visual and audible tip-up alert inside the fishing area. - The Receiver can relay the signal toward your phone.
When positioned between the transmitter and smartphone, it can help extend the BlueTipz network. - Your BlueTipz app can still receive the strike notification.
If the phone is part of the setup and within usable system range, the app provides the configured alert.
Range & Placement
BlueTipz Receiver Range & Placement
The Blue Tipz Receiver is most useful when it has a strong wireless path to both the transmitters and, when using smartphone notifications, the phone.
| Wireless Link | Current Manufacturer Specification | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| BlueTipz Transmitter → Receiver | Approximately 600 ft | Receiver listens for activated Blue Tipz tip up alarm transmitters |
| Receiver → Phone | Approximately 600 ft | Receiver relays the Bluetooth signal toward the smartphone |
| MAX Transmitter + Receiver System | Current MAX transmitter information advertises over 1,750 ft system range when used with a Receiver | Extended BlueTipz network under favorable conditions |
Between Tip-Ups & Phone
For range-extender use, position the Blue receiver between the outer transmitters and your smartphone.
Keep It Elevated
Avoid unnecessarily placing the Receiver directly on the ice or behind dense obstructions when a clearer location is available.
Permanent Fish Houses
The Receiver can help improve BlueTipz reliability where fish-house construction reduces direct transmitter-to-phone range.
Test Before Fishing
Trigger each Bluetooth tip up alarm from its actual fishing position and confirm the expected Receiver and phone alerts.
Standalone Alert
Use the Receiver as a Central Tip Up Alarm
The BlueTipz Receiver is not only a Bluetooth range booster. It also provides its own audible and visual notification when it receives a compatible transmitter signal.
Built-In Beep
The Receiver's speaker produces an audible alert when a BlueTipz transmitter strike signal is received.
Orange LED
The Receiver also provides a visual LED indication for the strike.
Phone Not Required for Local Alert
The Receiver can provide its own local beep and blink without requiring a smartphone as the only alert device.
Useful With Multiple Tip Up Alarms
Place the Receiver where its audible and visual signals are easy to notice while multiple Blue Tipz transmitters monitor your fishing setups.
App & Pairing
Pair the Blue Tipz Receiver With the BlueTipz App
The Receiver does not have to be paired with your phone for its basic beep, blink, and relay functions. Pairing is optional and adds compatible monitoring and programming features.

Linked Receivers
Can Multiple BlueTipz Receivers Be Linked Together?
Deep Freeze offers a special Receiver-to-Receiver configuration for some longer-distance setups using multiple Receivers.
This is an advanced configuration and should not be assumed to be enabled on every standard BlueTipz Receiver.
Requires Multiple Receivers
At least two compatible Receivers are required for Receiver-to-Receiver relay use.
One-Way Relay
Linked Receiver listening operates in a defined direction rather than automatically communicating in both directions.
Special Configuration
Do not assume every standard Blue Tipz Receiver is preconfigured for Receiver-to-Receiver operation.
Confirm Before Ordering
Contact Weeders Digest before purchase if Receiver-to-Receiver linking is required for your fishing setup.
