The C-clamp mounting bracket is the most versatile and portable way to mount the Buddy to
your boat. Loosen the C-clamp by turning it counter-clockwise and then place the bracket
around the gunnel or transom, resting it on the top surface (or as far down as possible). Then
tighten the C-clamp by hand.
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the C-clamp or permanent damage may occur. If the mounting bracket
is not stable after tightening by hand, try repositioning the bracket.
Start fishing!
The Fishin' Buddy is designed to run automatically with just a press of the power button. To get
the most out of your Buddy, read the next section on functions and features.

BUDDY FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES

The best way to get familiar with your Buddy is to power-up in demo mode and start pressing
buttons. You will not hurt anything by doing so, but you may lose or change some settings
accidentally. Don't worry. Your Buddy has a reset feature that restores everything back to factory
settings.
POWER ON AND OFF, DEMO MODE
POWER ON - Press and release the POWER button.
DEMO MODE - While powering on the Fishin' Buddy 4200, keep the POWER button pressed until
the words SIMULATOR and REAL appear on the screen. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to move
the fish symbol in front of your selection, then press the MENU button to continue.
POWER OFF - Press and hold the POWER button until the display is blank.
NOTE: The Fishin' Buddy 4200™ remembers your previous settings every time you power it on again
(this does not happen in demo mode).
