Speaker Options

There are two options for playing the music from your phone on your boat using the F300. The music can be played on the F300’s own internal speaker or it can be routed out the 3.5mm stereo jack on the F300’s installation cable.

• The streaming audio is played on the F300’s internal speaker by default.

Simply decrease the volume to the lowest level if you don’t wish it to be played over the F300’s internal speaker. The internal speaker volume can be adjusted using the UP and DOWN buttons on the front of the F300 handset. This internal speaker might be sufficient for music in smaller boats that don’t have a stereo system installed.

The jack on the boat’s stereo system will likely be either another 3.5mm stereo OR an RCA jack input. These cables are not supplied and are available at most retailers selling marine audio equipment.
