Introduction Thank you for your purchase of the VS385C, and welcome to the world of underwater viewing in full color! Your new VS385C can be used to hunt for underwater treasures, locate the “spot on the spot”, observe fish in their natural habitat, learn how to interpret signals on your sonar, and learn how fish react to your lure or bait presentation.

Should your VS385C viewing system become wet from rain or snow, be sure to get it to a warm dry place to dry out as soon as possible.
Getting Started Remove the VS385C from the packaging and place it on a level surface with the MarCum Technologies logo facing towards you and right side up. Open the top cover of the soft pack by lifting up on the hook and loop closers on each side and front of the soft pack.
Adjusting the Monitor Settings The VS385C monitor has four different adjustments that can be made to enhance the image on the monitor to the user’s preference. (Note: The VS385C has been pre-set with factory defaults for normal viewing.) To access the settings menu, press the menu key on the digital keypad.
Once you’ve located the spot, drill a hole 3 or 4 feet away from the hole you’re actually going to fish in. Set the VS385C on the ice and lower the camera down the second hole. To assist in keeping the camera at the desired depth and direction, it is recommended that a Camera Panner (purchased separately) be used.
ON and drop the Manta camera into the water. If you’re drifting with the wind or using a trolling motor with the VS385C, attach the supplied trolling fin to the rear of the Manta Camera for added stability. The internal weight is enough to keep the camera down while the fin assists in keeping the Manta camera tracking straight through the water.
Tip: To preserve battery run time, try to keep the VS385C in a relatively warm environment to minimize the use of the built in LCD heater system. By starting out with a warm monitor, there is less power consumed and less warm up time required.
