 Fishfinder 300C Quick Start Manual
Initializing Fishfinder 300C
Settings
The first time you turn your Fishfinder
300C on, you must configure a series of
initial settings. These settings must also be
configured when restoring factory settings
( page 14 ). Each of these settings can be
changed later using either the Sonar Setup
screen (Color Scheme) or the Configure
screen (Language and Units).
To initialize your Fishfinder 300C
settings:
1. Language—select the on-screen
language.
2. Units—select Statute (mh, ft, °F) ,
Metric (kh, m, °C) , or Nautical (kt, ft,
°F) .
3. Color Scheme—select White or Blue
as the background on sonar screens.
4. Select OK .

message system to alert you to operating
characteristics. When a message appears,
press SELECT to acknowledge the message
and return to the screen you were viewing.
