Simulator

Use the Simulator to learn how to use your 300 Series™ Fishing System before taking your boat on the water. The Simulator is a very powerful tool that simulates on the water operation, providing a randomly-updated display. We recommend going through this manual while using the Simulator, since all of the menus function and affect the display the way they actually do when in Normal operation.

NOTE: To get the full benefit of the Simulator, it is important to select Simulator manually from the Start-Up Options menu as opposed to letting the 300 Series™ Fishing System enter Simulator automatically (as it will if a transducer is not connected and you do nothing during power up). Manually selecting Simulator from the Start-Up Options menu allows you to pre- configure your 300 Series™ Fishing System for on the water operation. Any menu changes you make will be saved for later use.

A message will appear on the display periodically to remind you that you are using the Simulator.

Exit the Simulator by powering your 300 Series™ Fishing System off.

This model features a large, vibrant 3.5-inch color display, offering crystal-clear images and easy navigation through menus and settings.

One of the main features of the 383c is its DualBeam PLUS sonar system, which provides exceptional coverage and detail. This technology allows you to select between two beam widths, giving you the flexibility to focus on a specific area or cover a more extensive zone.

This feature can store up to 2,500 waypoints, allowing you to mark locations of interest, such as fishing holes, underwater structures, or hazards. The unit is compatible with Humminbird's proprietary mapping software, including LakeMaster and Navionics, providing access to detailed charts for numerous water bodies.

Another highlight of the Humminbird 383c is its Fish ID+ technology, which simplifies the process of identifying fish species. This system utilizes sonar returns to provide visual icons representing different types of fish, allowing anglers to quickly assess what’s below. The built-in temperature gauge is yet another valuable feature, providing real-time water temperature readings, which can help in determining the best fishing strategies based on fish behavior.

The unit’s user-friendly interface ensures that even novice anglers can operate it with ease. The menu system is intuitive, allowing users to access essential functions quickly. With its durable construction and waterproof design, the Humminbird 383c can withstand the rigors of fishing environments, making it a reliable companion on the water.
