If you are turning on your Fishfinder 160C for the first time, use the
following procedure. If you have already turned on your Fishfinder,
and you are just familiarizing yourself with the basic functions,
please go to “Using the Keypad” on this page.
To start your Fishfinder for the first time:
1. Press and hold the Power/Backlight key until the Fishfinder
powers on. If the Fishfinder fails to turn on, verify that the
wiring adapter is properly connected in the back of the
Fishfinder, the Red and Black wires are connected to the
correct polarity, and that the 2-Amp fuse is installed and
not blown. If the Fishfinder does not detect a transducer, it
automatically enters Simulator mode.
Simulator Mode
You can use Simulator mode to practice and learn the operation
of the Fishfinder. If the Fishfinder does not detect a transducer, it
automatically starts in Simulator mode.
While in Simulator mode, the Fishfinder shows a bottom scene,
and you can control the Fishfinder (except the Gain and Auto Gain
options). If no keys are pressed for two minutes, the Fishfinder
automatically resets to default settings while in Simulator mode.
To exit Simulator mode, turn off the Fishfinder.
